THE DEBATE ON THE TARIFF.
Republican Objection to the Duty on
Lamp Chimneys.


Lamp Chimneys.
WASHINGTON CITY, May 1.-THE com
mittee amendments TO the tariff bill began
TO come in yesterday, and the first one
struck snag in the person of Henderson
of Iowa The amendment increased the
duty on lamp chimneys. Henderson
asked Mckinley how many lamp chimneys
were imported, and upon being told that
there was no exact data asked how he
knew the duty should be increased. Nc
Kinley got out Of this by saying that the
committee had done its best with the data
at hand, and was unanimous as to the ne
cessity of increase. Henderson said he was
for protection, but he could not vote for
the amendment until shown good reason
for his vote that way. The amendment
was agreed 10, however.
McKinIey's Qualification.
Mckinley said that gentlemen might
complain here and there that they wanted
duty increased or lowered. but that they
forget that in the preparation of bill
covering more than 5000 articles the COM
mittee had TO go into consideration, not
of single interest, but of all the varied
and combined interests of the United
States. IApplsuse.l Gentlemen on the
other side said that the duties in the bill
were too high. In the glass schedule of
the Mills bill the percentages ranged from
60 to 152 per cent If that were a revenue
tariff. why should not the Republicans in
crease that tariff and make il protective
in favor of the labor of the United Statess
GreenhaIge Gets on Some Humor.
Another amendment increased the duty
on flax tow. Greenhalge, of Massachu-
sets. said that be did not see the necessity
of this increase; he did not see the neces-
sity OF increasing the duty on third class
woods; he was opposed TO putting lime on
the dutiable list, but he supposed that
gentlemen were TO consider these matters
in spirit of liberal compromise and in a
spirit of mutual concession. A good deal
was said about farm mortgages. Mort
cages were old things. Adam would have
mortgaged his farm of Eden, if he had had
anybCL to mortgage it to. Whether the
Democratic party was there or not, the
farm had finally gone TO the devil
daughter Gentlemen on the other side
talked eloquently about free coal, iron and
salt. The Republicans said that there
were other articles of prime necessity

Mansur of Missouri secured the floor and
aroused the indignation of the Iowa Re-
publicans by the statement that they had
been repudiated BY their people The
house was in an uproar for Il few minutes
The speaker said the gentleman had been
taking advantage of the chairs good
nature TO insult the house and to lower his
own standing in his own estimation.
Mansur-That may be the opinion of the
chair, but it will not be INDUCED in out

WASHINGTON CITY, May 1.-THE debate
in the senate yesterday was principally on
an amendment TO the silver bill proposed
by Plumb, requiring that hereafter no
funds available for the payment of the
public debt Including such as are kept for
the redemption Of treasury notes. shall be
retained in the treasury to the extent Of
$4,000, 600" Plumb's avowed object, in
his own words, were to provide that athe
treasury department should have nothing
whatever TO do with the currency supply
Of the couxtry. The secretary seemed to
think himself the keystone, the linch-pin,
Of the financial institutions of the

the resumption law the gold that had been
obtained from the sale of and ~ per

serve. 1t had not been set aside as a special
fund until lSs2-a year or two afterward.
He mentioned that for the purpose of re
pelling, absolutely, the idea that the value
of the United States notes ever depended,
In the slightest degree, on the fact that
there was a reserve of 500 00O, 600 in the

Aldrich asked ingalls, whether he
thought that United States notes would
have any added value if hundred million

othy Healey, referring to the potato
blight, said nothing stood between the
people and starvation during the COM

represented as being most anxious to
provide employment through the
building of new railways, but how
could the railway act recently passed
be held to prove the governments in
tention to meet the coming famine.
Besotted stupidity marked the whole
conduct of the executive. lt might
not be legal for tenants to Withhold their
land rents during period of distress,
but the man who would pay his rent
and leave his family to statve would
be little better than an assassin. Let
the landlords support the rent payers.
