 Fiftieth Congress-Second Session
 WASHINGTON. Jan. 8.
 SENATE.-On motion of MT. Sherman it was ordered that MT. Gray's amendment to the Panama resolution and the action of the Senate thereon at yesterdays session be printed in the Record.
 Mir. Sawyer from the postofice committee reported the bill providing that the omission to pay the lawful postage on Especial de- livery" letter shall not prevent or delay it's transmission and delivery, but that the law- ful postage shall be collected on its delivery; passed.
 THH TABIFF DEBATE.
 The Senate then, at half past 12, resumed consideration of the tariff bill, at paragraph 337, relating to collars and cuffs for mems wear and fixing the duty on those composed entirely of cotton at 15 cents per dozen pieces and 35 per cent. ad valorem, and on those composed entirely or partly of linen at 30 cents per dozen pieces and 35 per cent. ad valorem.
 Mr. Sherman and Mir. Coke then spoke at some length on the advantages offered by the South for manufacturing, MT. Sherman remarking that the time was not far distant when the men of the South would catch the spirit of the future; when the South would be rich not only in agriculture, but would be rich in manufactures; when the jute mills and ramie mills and cotton mills would be side by side in the same region where the yua n and until the South was able to sell jute and ramie in competition with other countries, the South should be supported by 8 reasons ably proper duty on these articles.
 Such duty would undoubtedly start their growth in the South. Why, he asked. should turn the minds of her people to the manu- facture of cotton and other southern products. He had no desire to do anything so unjust to the people of the South, white or black. He would be glad to see them prosperous.
 Mr.Vance made one of his usual humorous speeches in reply to MT. Sherman and moved to add proviso to the section, that the duty on no article in the section should exceed the rate of 50 per cent. ad valorem. No action was taken on MT. Vance's motion and the bill went over till to-morrow, MT. Allison giving notice that unless better prog ress were made with the bill he would to- morrow or next day move evening sessions or
 
 o'clock.
 MT. George thought that the proposed tax on cotton bagging was very great injustice to the laborer of the South and ought not to be perpetrsted. He spoke of the trust as g conspiracy by which the South had beer robbed, and up to the last year the competi. ton has been so close that bagging mad to be sold at loss or at least without profit. MT. Jones of Arkansas-At what price was it sold, when there was no profit on it. MT. Allison-From 71a to cents yard MT. Jones-Was that price without profit MT Allison-On the representations made ! to the finance committee believe so. MT. Frye-In nay own city there is cotto1 | bagging mill that has been lying for foul years because it could not by any possibilit, I make profit.
 | Mr. Jones-Was the idleness of that mil | g part of the agreement or conspiracya Mr. Frve-No, sir. It disappeared iron business four years ago and has not started | up since. It was recently offered for sale a | 800, ,O00, while its original cost was $500, ,0O0 | The discussion was continued at mucl l length by Senators Allison, George, Butler | Platt, Jones of Arkansas, Aldrich. Hiscocl and Vance.
 ! No amendment was offered to paragraph 1 33S, taxing hemp or jute carpeting cent | per square yard.
