Senator Vance of North Carolina. IS o,

Senator Vance of North Carolina, IS out
spoken in his opposition to the Mills tariff
bill. He says it does not meet the wishes
of his State. All of the democratic mem
bers OF Congress from the tobacco growing
States are more or less dissati -fiedwith the
bill because it does not repeal the tobacco
tax. Some of these have been placated by
the promise of Chairman Mills, that their
interests would be looked after in another
bill, which is to be introduced after this
one has been passed, but the greater mum
Der of them refuse to take promises and say
that they will not vote for any tariff bill
that does not repeal the tobacco tax. Four
democratic members from Ohio have an
nounced their opposition to the bill, on &C
count of the wool clause, and the Louisi-
ana members say that they will not sup
port it on account of the 20 per cent re
duction in the duty on sugar. The bill IS
fast getting the democratic party into
family wrangle, which will be great fun
for the republicans.

Ex-Governor Proctor of Vermont, who
is in Washington, says that the clause
putting upon the free list marble of all
kinds, rough or quarried, and granite
sandstone, and all building or monument
al stone will destroy the marble industry
of Vermont and the business of the gran
tie quarries of Quincy and Cape Ann,
Mass. The marble quarries cannot live
and compete with the Italians. Gov.
Proctor underst ands that the committee
was induced, in great measure, to put
rough marble upon the free list at the
| instance of manufacturers in marble in
! Boston and elsewhere who desired to have
their raw material free, yet not content
with putting marble and granite on the
| free list. they have also greatly reduced
the tariff upon manufactured marble that
the Boston manufacturers cannot COM
pete, even with free raw material will
