making the Northern dough faces ccme to
she front and vote for free cotton ties. Mr.
Mchiniey, of Ohio, said the cotton tie par
sgrApn was the most indefensible of any in
tne Oil. In the free trade list generally
what was made free, was made free to
everybody. If he were q free trader and
proposed to make hoop iron free be would
make 1t free for all purposes. He was, how
ever opposed to free hoop iron for any pur-
pose, because the duty that had been
placed on 1t had made it cheaper to the con-
sumner than il would have been had there
been no duty on it Finally Mr.. Shane. OF
Nebraska. offered an amendment which
was agreed to-zyeas 80, nays n, placing on

snord an explanation, saying Mr.. Reed did
not represent the consumer. This remark
Mr; Reed resented by saying il was mart
and parcel of the fallacy which had gov.
erned E the whole bill. that one side of the
iioese represented the consumer. This he
1enleo emphatically, and charged that the
democrats IN bringing out this bill were
animated by political motives rather than
BY real desire to reduce taxation. and Mt

hood enough to acknowledge it
