mans Remarks Thereon.
| WASHINGTON, October 3.-In the SEN
ate to-day, Allison, from the Committee
on Finance, reported back the House
Tariff bill with an amendment in the
shape of substitute. 1t was placed on
the calendar. He said that the majority
and minority reports to accompany the
bill would be filed tomorrow or Friday,
and gave notice that he would call up the
bill for consideration Monday.
Sherman said he would be compelled
to leave early this afternoon and would
like to be INDUCED in a few brief remarks
on the tariff. Unanimous consent was
given, and he addressed the Senate. He
complimented the Subj Committee on the
work done and severely criticized the
House bill. In his Judgment there would
be few defects found in the Senate sub
stitute. 1t would be found to be a very
perfect bill. Among other things it was
a substantial compendium of the provis-
ions for the collection of internal revenue
and customs duties. 1t contained posi-
tive reductions of the revenue to the ex-
tent OF $73, ,6SS,000. The reduction was
on few articles. He believed the Sem
ate bill was, on the whole, the best rev.
enue bill ever introduced in
Congress, and that if it could
be taken up free from party
prejudices and considered and debated
and amended, it might be the most per-
feet revenue measure ever put on the
statute books. The issue was now fairly
made before the people and was to be
tried by them. 1t was a plain, fair,
square issue between tariff for revenue
only" and "tariff for revenue and pro-
tectlon." 1t was question whether the
articles necessary for human life should
be made by American labor or by for
eign labor; whether the wages of Ameri-
can labor should depend on the Ameri-
can policy of protecting all forms of
labor and production.
The Senate then resumed considera-
tion Of Mr.. Hale's resolution of Monday
calling on the Secretary of War for an
explanation of Gen. Bennet's circular as
to the discharge Of Republican employ
ees in the United States arsenals and
armories.
Senator Cockrell made long speech,
and closed by asserting that President
Cleveland had redeemed and sacredly
kept every pledge that he had made in
relation to the Civil Service.
Senator Hale commented on the
fact that Cockrell had not been able, in a
two hours speech, to say one word in
defence of the rough order in which the
War Department proclaimed war of ex-
termination on women and children.
Chandler characterized the Bennett cir
cular as the most discreditable of all en-
anations in the violation of the Presi-
dents professions and of Civil Service
Reform.
