Mr.. Brumm PA ] led the Gi cis,ion
off sgtiu into tariff vein, declaring
tn AZ he wa Tire d CT tne aNertion that
Pennsylvania was hePgine for protec-
ton f)r Pernsylvauia alone. Ptnnqyl-
vania could and the trade as well az
Iowa, and che ked no favor. If
gentlemen wou'd rep eaei the toun-
try instead OF localities there would
be no reason for invidit US remarks.
Mr.. Morrison I'll said thai the bill
came here under fsl'e preter SEE, and
be would, therefore, vote Against it,
1t tould only be here because II was a
revenue bill, but its friends did not
aim that IL was hsre fer the purpose
OF putting money in the Treasury. 1t
was insisted hat it IVES here TO pre-
vent aud, when TN amerdmt mt WE

2 cent?, wi ich wou'd giy3 a. cNiiy
apsinet frau1, then It would be Ie.n
what the honest purposes OF tie bill
wac. When such p oros ton was
offered the House would see wht ther
the gentlemen were telling the truth
when they taid that all they wanted
wal that oleom r.arine should be sold
