CONSIDERATION OF THE TARIFF BILL,
the pending question being Vests amend
ment to paragraph 313, to change tn,
duty on cotton thread, yarn, warps, etc.
valued at not exceeding 35 cents pei
pound, from 10 cents per pound to 80 pei
cent, advalorem. After q speech of some
length from Vance, Vests amendment waf
rejected by the usual party vote; yeas 30
nays "a.
Vest called attention to other items in
paragraph 313, but said he would not offer
any amendments or ask any vote upon
them, but he would simply remark that
the duty on these items was increased in
order to exclude all foreign competition as
far as possible, SO as to enable American
manufacturers
TO HOLD THE MARKET
at whatever price they saw fit to impose.
He moved to amend paragraph 314, re.
lating to spool thread OF cotton, by strik-
ing out seven cents per dozen spools and
inserting forty per cent. advalorem. He
quoted from the statements made by spool
cotton manufacturers before the tariff
commission OF 1882 and before the ways
and means committee in 1884, to show
that they asked less rate OF protection in
1884 than in 1882. After lengthy dis
cussion the amendment was rejected, yeas
1S, nays 81.
No further amendment was offere' to
paragraph 314 nor was any offereu to
paragraphs Bis, S16 or 317. All relating
to cotton cloth. Vance moved two amend
ments to paragraph 318 and one on 319,
all OF which were rejected.
Pugh proceeded to address the Senate in
set speech on tariff. In concluding his
remarks he adverted to
THE QUESTIONS OF RACE SUPREMACY
in the South, and said that as to that
there could be no concession or no compro-
mise among white people. Whoever was
friend of the white race in regard to
in Government was bis friend
irrespective of politics, and whoever was
an enemy Of the white race on questions in
volving race supremacy was his enemy.
The fidelity OF white II en- to each other on
race question had been unfaltering and was
bound to prove itself in action on the side
oil maintaining the actualsupremacyo OF the
white race in possession and exercise OF all
government power.
Such fidelity of white men to each other
in Southern states for such purposes had
been established under the necessity oil
self-preservation, and white men every
where might be assured that no allure
ments OF Office and no difference as to tar
iff laws could ever degrade them to the
recognition Of negro equality.
Vance moved to amend paragraph $40,
relating to stockings, by reducing the rate
from 35 to 80 per cent. advaiorem, and
asked for the yeas and nays.
Aldrich appealed to Vance not to de-
mand yeas and nays, as there was proba-
bly, no quorum present; and ne wished TO
get through tine common schedule to-day,
but Vance would not consent.
The Senate then, having finished three
and half pages of the bill to-day, ad-
journed.
BOUNTY ON SUGAR.
A change made in the sugar schedule by
the senate subcommittee in charge OF the
tariff bill, provides bounty OF one cent a
pound upon all sugar raised in this coun-
try. This has been, it is said, fully agreed
upon.
no REFUND ILLEGAL INCOME TAXES.
Senator Stewart introduced a bill author
izing the secretary OF the treasury to refund
all income taxes which, upon principles sub.
sequently settled by the decisions OF the
supreme court, are shown to have been
illegally and unconstituaionally collected,
the money to be paid out By the commits
sioner of internal revenue, provided the
publication for refund be made within
two years from the passage OF the act.
