Discussing the Tariff Bill.

WAsHINoToN, d. c., April 22.-The
House went into Committee of the
Whole, Cox, OF New York, in the
Chair, on the tariff bill. Wellborne said
the measure was not an effort to read
just the many incongruities of the pres.
ent tariff system, but q step in policy
which looked to reduction ofall duties
to revenue standard and, Tor that rea.
son, met his approval. Protection laid
destructive burden ON all agencies OF
commerce and was monopoly of the
worst kind.
Mckinley, in reply, said: The only
persons who demanded a reduction Of
the tariff were members from the Free
Trade Club of Brooklyn and New York
and they were like the lilies of the field,
''They toll not, neither do they spin. T"
The r capital was not invested in active
industries. They cut their coupon. and
bought most of their goods on the other
side. If Congress lowered duties, they
could get their goods little
cheaper. He declared the bill was

good deal of amusement by displaying
the advertisement of an enthusiastic i'm.
porter, who, on Carlisles' elevation TO
the Speakership, named after him Ger.
tain shape crockery, which was sur.
mounted by the head of lion. "Car.
Isle shape below, English above"
exclaimed Mckinley; ''pass the bill and
he will give you all shape. daughter
He then dwelt upon his main objection
to TO the bill, that is would reduce the
price Of labor, and in conclusion ap.
