PASSAGE OF MCKINLEY BILL.

out any substantial modification Of its
terms, was precisely what has been antici-
pated all along. The few amendments
grated upon the bill were Of SO little i'm
portance as not 10 be thought worthy to be
particularised in the general report Of the
proceedings. The strong effort that was
made 10 defeat the imposition OF an in
creased duty on tin-plate, the most 0u.-
rageous schedule in the list, was thwartcd
by single vote. and but for the activity Of
the chairman Of the Ways and Means Com
mittee at the time the vote on the bill was
being cast, in forcing rebellious members
Of his own party into the ranks Of support
ers Of the bill, this effort would have proven
successful, which could only have resulted
in an inestimable benefit 10 the American
people at large. No schedule in the bill
reveals more clearly the injustice Of the
principle ON which the whole bill rests than
tina, relating 10 tin-plate, the duty ON which
is advanced 10 a rate at which IL becomes
possible for n number of Pittsburg manu-
facturers 10 manufacture this article at
high degree Of prodtableness to themselves,
and unproftableness 10 all who have occa-
sion TO use II in the different forms in which
1t il employed.
Never before probably was so important
a measure rushed through the House with
such unseemly haste. The Republican
managers were fully determined TO force il
through IN its original form, and in this
resolution, they persisted to the end, being
supported by the encouragement Of the Re
publican press In all parts Of the country
which urged that the bill be made law at
