The Amendments offered and the
Vote in Full

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-The Senate, at
1870 O'clock this morning, resume consid-
Grafton of the tariff bill, the pending ques-
tion being on the amendment offered to the
wool schedule by Mr.. Reagan.
Mr.. Morrill, read some general remarks
on the hi l.
Mr. Reagan made an argument in favor
Of his amendment, changing the duty on
all grades anu kinds of wool to % per cent.
ad valorem. He desired, he said, to put
agriculture on a fair and equal basis with
other industries, but he knew no way of do
ing equal justice to those who plowed and
hoed, who raised cotton and corn and wheat
and beef, because these products were ex-
ported snd not imported. They stood un-
prot uncovered by law, and had to
pay the bOunties conferred on other in
dustries

Mr. Coke expressed his readiness to put
wool on the free list wbenever all the bases
Of manufacturers were put on the free list,
not because il was such a bill as he pre-
1erri but because it represented the real
