There were then presented memo

bundles covered with red cloth. Their
presentation was witnessed by deputa-
ton of ladies in the gallery.
The Senate this morning resumed the
discussion on the Tariff bill.
The amendment heretofore offered by |
Allison making the duty on crosscut
saws s, 10 and Is cents per linear foot,
instead of 6. 8 and Is, was agreed to.
The amendment heretofore offered by
Allison increasing the duty on taggers'
iron was somewhat modified by him and
Jones (Arkansas) moved to put that
article on the free list.
Allison said the committee had decided
to allow the present rate of duty on tin
plate to stand until the 1st of January,
1890, and that would allow time for the
establishment of sufficient plant in this
country to produce all the tin plate
needed.
Morgan advocated jones' motion to
put tin plate on the free list and said
there was no tin in this country.
Teller contradicted the assertion and
said there was vast quantity of tin the
Deadwood region.
Morgan proceeded to deliver written
speech against the Senate substitute.
In the course of the discussion be-
tween Morgan and Hawley as to the
relative value of lands in manufacturing
and non-manufacturing States, Morgan
characterized the young negroes of
Alabama as the most God-forsaken peo-
pie in respect of industry to be found
anywhere outside of Algiers or Morocco
or the great desert of Sahara. 1t cost
fully $1,000 to raise negro boy from
birth to manhood, not to include his
stealings and other depredations. If he
could, by decree of law, or of provi-
dence, expel from Alabama every negro
in it and have barrier erected so that
Alabama would run up to prices greater
than those in Wisconsin. People would
rush there with more eagerness than they
were now showing in trying to get into
Oklahoma.

Morgan, in the course of which Morgan
said he wished the Senator from New
Hampshire had in his own State the
100000 Negroes that could be furnished
to him from Alabama.
81 would be very glad indeed to give
them to him." added the speaker. 81
wish that among the many societies he
gets up he would get up one for the intro
duction Of Negroes from Alabama into
New Hampshire, and / will do my best
to promote his society, get subscribers for
it and get Negroes to migrate"
Blair-I think it would be quite as
much for the interest of my State to en-
courage the colored people of Alabama to
migrate there as to encourage white
people to go to that State.
Morgan-The Senator may spare him
self all his invective against the people
of Alabama.
Blair-I will be very glad to limit my
general reflection on the white people of
Alabama, and confine it to the Senator
with whom am engaged in eolloquy.
Morgan-If any providential thing
should keep the Senator and me apart l
would be thankful. He adds nothing to
my happiness and l think more init
mate association with him would improve
me neither in temper nor information
nor in any other way.
After this little DEPRESSION, Morgan re-
sumed and finished the reading of his
speech.
Chandler spoke in favor of increasing
the duty on skates. In the course of his
speech he criticized the opposition of the
Democratic party to protectionist ideas
and said Confederate brigadiers" were
now trying to carry out the principle
which they had incorporated into the
Confederate constitution and meant the
destruction of all Northern industries
that were protected by the tariff system.
They had nothing left to kick, kill and
destroy but the protective tariff That
was the business at which they and the
President had been engaged for tine last
year, and Notwithstanding their bad
luck they still continued to make faces
and kick.
Vest argued against the amendment to
Increase the rates on tin plate, saying
there was not single pound of it manu-
factured in the United States and there
was no instance in the tariff legislation of
the country where duty was imposed
for the purpose of creating an industry
which did not exist.
Aldricb admitted that there was not
pound of tin plate manufactured in the
United States at present, but said that
that fact was owing solely to the 1nade-
quacy of the duty. He held it was as
much within the scope of the protective
system to create new industries as to
maintain existing ones.
There was further discussion on the
subject but no vote was reached, and |
after an agreement that, from Friday till |
Tuesday next, the daily hour of meeting
should be IL O'Clock, the Senate ad-
journed.
The House. |
