which passed between him and General w
B Hszen during the month of February
1883
The speaker, then as the regular ordel
proceeded to call committees for mo
lions 10 suspend the rules.
Kelly, from tine committee on wav.
snd means, moved to suspend the rules
and pass the bill to reduce the internal rev.
enue taxation.
Morrison demanded second.
Springer raised the point OF order that
the bill had not been before the committee
Of ways and means, and that il therefore
was beyond the power Of that committee 70
move to suspend rules aud put it on its
passage.
The speaker overru,ed the point of order,
and the motion was seconded.
Tucker, of Virginia, inquired whether
Kelley would admit the amendment 10
abolish entirely the tax on tobacco.
Kelley replied that the gentleman knew
that the speaker must decide the amend.
ment would not he admitted.
In support of his motion, Kelley said that
every line of the bill had received the APP
proval OF the senate and the commit
tee which he represented. There
fore he believed that while doubt
and uncertainty might prevail us
to tariff legislation, there was an opportu-
nifty offered to mitigate our excessive rev.
enue to the extent of Si0,000,000 1t was
yet probable the two houses might be
brought to an agreement on the tariff bill.
Morrison said the people were paying
into the treasury 1000 cO of import tax
under notes, and twice $50, 600, goo in bounty
to manufacturers. The internal revenue
had been reduced One.half, and to dav,
twenty years after the war, the import
taxes remained as they were; hotwthstand-
ing this there was bill brought to relieve
the banking capital of the country and
tobacco chewers at theexpense of the peo-
pie. 1t was offered here in
order to give "quid tobacco to some people
with every likelihood of their biting at the
bait"
Dunnell said the house now was face to
face with the policy declared in New York
in October, prior N the meeting of the
iorty-seventh CO" gress. That reduction Of
the revenue must come, and the house was
going on writing history for this congress
to that effect
Mckinley asserted that the surplus rev.
enue in the treasury could be with safety
reduced S60,0O0000. Every one admitted
that whether the tariff is revised or not
the internal revenue must be
Truthful, lnGTb Is no SIatcSHailSnlD, no
business sense in saving, because we have
not finished the tariff we shall not relieve
ourselves of the burden of internal taxation,
which everybody admits ought to be, and
in time will be, removed.
House called the attention Of the country
to the spectacle presented to-day. For
the past month, night and day. the house
had been discussing the tariff bill, and now
comes back to the same old propo.
sitiop of last session--the scapegoat
which has been expected to bear the sins
dt the republicans into the wilderness.
