primuline was stricken from the free list.
The first paragraph which had been
passed over informally that placing cotton
ties on the free list was then considered.
TURNER FAvORS FREE ENTRY.
Mr.. Turner of Georgia argued in favor
of the action of the committee in making
cotton ties free, and contend d that it was
4 fallacy that the purchaser of tae cotton
paid the price of the ties with which it was
baled.
E. b. Taylor of Ohio inveighed against
the injustice of making cotton ties free,
bic list.
Mr.. Bayne of Pennsylvania, could not
understand how a northern democrat could
vote to place duty on hoop iron and to
place cotton ties on the free list unless it
we're true that as before the war cotton was
king King cotton was again making the
northern dough-faces come to the front
The people Of the west were going to re
member this thing and would see that the
south should not again sit in the saddle and
dominate the northern states, and control
legislation IL the interest of the south as
against the north
BAYNE UP A TREE.
Mr.. Townshend of Illinois inquired
whether Mr.. Bayne would be willing to
place all hoop iron on the free list, and was
answered by an emphatic negative.
Mr. Towls lshend suggested that there was
hoop iron mandatory in the gentle
mans district, and that therefore the
gentleman was arguing in the interest of
monopoly which was levying a tribute on
every honest farmer The gentleman said
fatty and plainly in his declaration that he
would not put hoop iron on the free list,
and that he loved the men who were en-
gagged in the hoop iron industry better than
he did the men who toiled all day and
needed iron to ale their hay.
Mr. Bayne inquired why the gentleman
had not offered an amendment placing on
the free list the hoop iron which his con-
sutuents consumed in baling hay.
Nh Townshend replied that the bill, un-
like the tariff bill of the republicans in the
torty-seventh congress which had been
framed in caucus, had been prepared by
the proper committee 1t was not the out
come of caucus action, and he had not had
the opportunity to amend the bill, such as
the gentleman had had when, in the forty
seventh congress, the bill had been put
through the house under the whip and spur
Of the caucus command and dictation.
Mr.. STEWART MAKES A POINT.
Mr. Stewart of Georgia was glad that an
opportunity was presented to test the sin
cerity Of the republican party i'll its prof
Tered love for The colCred man, for two
