FORT WORTH. TEX. Dec. 26. 1888.
There has not been such a complete de-
preston of trade as merchants had been
led to expect on the day following Christ
mas. Although there has been no rush
on the retail houses, they have enjoyed
fair amount of custom, there having
been a good many farmers in town with
grain and cotton for sale.
The business done during the past week
on this market has been heavy IN retail
lines, while jobbers have not been over
worked. OF course the purchasing has
been nearly all of Christmas goods,
though staples have been freely dealt in.
Wholesale merchants have had light or
ders, mostly for filing in, and most of
them are getting thei' houses in shape for
the spring trade, oh generally begins
to display itself III ebruary.
Produce has fallen off since the Christ
mas demand is over. Eggs and butter
are now worth 1Sc each, and chickens
range between 81 rs and 81, with turkeys
at 50@75c.

PRESENTATION CEREMONIES.

Chairman Mills, of the ways and means
committee, has been unwell for two days past,
and Mr.. McNillen presided at the meeting
this morning. Mr.. Mckinley made an attempt
to get up the revenue question by calling up
the bill to repeal the tobacco tax. The propo-
sition was, however. voted down by party
vote upon the grounds that the whole revenue
question should come up at one time, the in
terna tax with the tariff. 1t is, however, evil
pent that the ways and means committee was
not made up to do anything towards repeating
the internal revenue taxes.
After recess, in pursuance of the previous
order of the house, the ceremony of the pre-
sentatiOp, by the state of Massachusetts to the
house, of the portraits of Theodore Sedgwick,

have occupied the speakers chair in the ma
tional house of representatives,, was proceeded
with. Tie portraits, handsomely framed, were
ranged side by side in front of the clerk S desk,
and attracted much attention.
EugoliStic sketches OF the lives Of the differ
ent speakers of the house, who were represen-
tatlves OF Massachusetts, were then given in
turn by Massachusetts members; after which
the portraits were accepted, on behalf of the
house, by Mr.. Randall, who offered the follow
ing resolution
Resolved, That this house has received with great
satisfaction the portraits Of Hon. Theodore Sedg-

question.
Discussion of the question of abolition or
reduction of the internal revenue tax occupied

close of the session, the following resolution
was adopted:

cessiyc taxation which is necessary in time of war.
The large surplus i'll the treasury ties the circula
ting medium, which is the life blood of commerce,
and exposes the people TO still greater eXactions in

treasury power over commerce which was never
contemplated and is constant temptation to eX-
traYagance in the O administration of our govern
ment,
Resolved That business men of all parties,
whether protectonists free traders should unite
in demanding early action by congress to reduce
our present enormous revenues in q way which will
leave unembarrassed our existing industries.

internal taxes it is not practicable to abolish the in
ternal revenue system asa whole

commend the total repeal of the internal reve-
nue. taxes failed
