question OF a quorum voting on the
amendment to the Varnish clause,
during which Mills, Texas, charged
Aldrich, Illinois, with uttering q
falsehood, but subsequently re-
tracted the remarks. The clause
relative to Varnish was agreed npon
as follows: Shellac Yarnish, zoe. per
gallon, and in addition thereto an
amount equal to the internal
revenue tax on the alcohol contained
therein; varnishes other than shell
lac, 40 per cent. al oGloT en-, and in
addition thereto an amount equal
to the internal revenue on the
alcohol contained therein.
The chemical schedule having
! been concluded. Morris offered an
amendment providing that after
July, 1885, there shall be levied, col
lected and paid on articles, goods,
wares and merchandise in this
schedule only 90 per cent. of the
duties imposed on said articles
severally. Such reduction would
helpthe manufacturing interests, and
on the theory of protection could
not possibly affect the question OF
wages. The amendment was lost.
Townsend offered, as substitute
for the whole schedule a proposition
providing for two years following
July 1st there be a reduction Of
20.320 per cent. from the existing
rates in the chemical schedule for
the succeeding two years, further
reduction of 10 per cent. Lost.
| Schedule s, earthenware and glass
ware was then considered many
amendments offered and rejected.
| The debate continued at great
length. During the discussion Ham
mond remarked that every time an
| industry was reached somebody rose
and said, "This is my infant, and
has to be taken care of. Thus, in
the language of the President in his
veto to the river and harbor bill,
the bill becomes more Objectionable
1t secures more support"
Tucker ridiculed the idea that an
industry which only required 30
per cent. protection in its infancy
should, in its manhood, need Is per
cent. protection.
Carlisle moved to strike orna-
mental, earthen, stone and creckery
ware from the list Of articles to pay
65 per cent. Gd 0GloreTa.
| Brewer said the kind of painted
ware which the gentleman from
Kentucky Carlisle objected to being
classified with the finer goods, were
placed on the catalogue on account
OF the difficulty of distinguishing
between the low and high grades.
F He could find the gentleman from
! Kentucky a piece of earthenware
which he could not distinguish from
! the best ChinaWare.
Brewer produced, in the course Of
his remarks, several specimens Of
crockery and china, and members
gathered around him and listened
attentiYely to his explanation of the
various grades of work.
4 Kelly called the attention of the
committee to the large vase which
, hehad in his desk, and explained that
. it was the article i n which was so
cents worth Of American clay and
more than $4 worth of American
q labor. 1t having been made at
Green Point, n. Y. but the gentle
\ men might easily mistake it for im-
ported chinaware.
Gunther moved to change the duty
@ on green and cOlored glass bottles
! walls, demijohns, carbOys, etc.. from
j IL cents per pound to 65 per cent
Gd 0Glorem.
q Duester hoped the amendment
: offered by his colleague would be
: adopted claiming that the provision
a in the bill was an increase of nearly
+ 200 per cent over the present rate of
4 expense.
: After a long debate the motion
q was agreed tO-s1 to 75-so the rate
remains at 80 per cent. al gqJOTeaR.
