Mr. blair said senator's had spoken TO hlm
;rdicating their desire to be heard before
action should be taken in the matter he
should. therefore, not press the resolution
This morning, but desired to say tnat ne nad
offered tie resolution, not with speclaI
reference to any pending bill, but with a
feano that there was necessity for the pro-
nosed change. The period had arrived
when. in the transaction Of the country's
4 business the Senate must have some way
bv which a larger number of important
4 measures could be decided.
REEDS IRON HAND.
The difficulty hitherto had been in the
other house. but that difficulty had been
removed to some extent, so that action was
4 attained there more promptly than
formerly. The Senate, which had been
81 hitherto the expeditions body in transactlng
business, was liable to be far behind. He
meant far behind in its capacity to reach
and decide what measures the majority was
"a disnosed TO pass. The whole business of the
cOnutry was at the mercy of one or two
Il individuals who might be opposed to a
measure. The majority was practically
under control of the minority. Without ref
erence to any particular measure now pend
ing, or that might be pending, he thought
that the subject matter of his resolution
81 should receive the early and earnest consid-
Grafton OF the Senate.
Mr.. Morgan remin ded Mr.. Blair of the
2# long time six or seven weeks ago. consumed
in the consideration of the education bill,
and said that time had not been wasted
AS q result of the discussion the bill had
been defeated, just :as he hoped debate
on the tariff bill would result in the defeat
of that measure.
The resolution was, on motion of Mr..
Aldrich, referred to the committee on
rules.
THE TARIFF TAKEN UP.
The tariff bill was then taken up, the
question being on Mr.. Vests amendment to
reduce the duty on decorated china to so
per cent. ad valorem and on plain white un-
decorated china to 40 per cent. instead of 60
and 30 per cent. in the House bill, and of 55
and 0O as proposed by the finance committee.
DON'T GOVERN WAGES.
After colloquial discussion on the china
ware paragraph, Mr.. George took the floor
and made long speech on the general
sublsc Of the tariff, contending that pro-
tecuon had nothing to do with wages, but
That they were governed bv various sur
rounding circumstances. REFERRING to a
statement heretofore made by Mr.. Teller
that half the wealth of the country
was owned by 100000 persons,
he said that if the system
o. paternalism which assumed the regula-
uoh oy the government of the business
Ni'4 AOi tulleS VI l06u was COnUlQu6Q as
Tue pending bill proposed to continue it, a
sentiment would be produced which would

themselves were kept in poverty, they would
INQUIRE why the same governmental agen-
teS tnat robbed them Of their daily toll for
Tue benefit of the over-rich should not be
oIlpioyed to take from the spoiler that
% wnica he had unjustly got. He did not
WISH 70 see that day come.
HAwLEY RIDICULEs THE SCARE.
Mr. Hawley ridiculed the solemnity with

people at the north were living over a VOL
