IN THE HOUSE.
Day spent In Considering the Tar
IN Bill.


passed authorizing the registration OF CEN
sus mail matter.
The house then went into committee OF
the whole ON the tariff bill. A number Of
verbal amendments were, on motion of
Mckinley, made to the bill, Mckinley
offered an amendment specifically in
cluding glass chimneys in the clause rcla-
tive 10 thin blown glass at a duty OF 10
cents per dozen and 40 per cent ad va
loren.
In response to question by Henderson
Of Iowa, Mckinley stated that the present
duty on lamp chimneys was As per cent
and the proposed duty but 50 and GO per
cent. Henderson inquired how many
lamp chimneys were imported. Mckinley
replied he had no exact data. Henderson
inquired IL the gentleman had no exact
data how he knew the duty should be in
creased. Applause and laughter on the
democratic side. Mckinley replied that
the committee knew 1t was impossible for
our own people to manufacture chimneys
under the present rate OF duty and con-
tinue to pay the present rate Of wages.
Henderson: For myself am not going
TO vote for an increase of any duty when
I have not information to justify that
VOTE" democratic applauseD
Mckinley said the committee had no
It. II had simply done its best.
Henderson did not want any democratic
floor to howl over what he was saying
Qaughterl, but he did not intend TO vote
for an increase OF duty on lamp chimneys
unless he knew why.
Chandler OF Massachusetts, said nc was
not a republican, but a protectionist. II
could not he expected that any committee
| could perfect bill that would meet the
| wants of every part OF the United States.
The bill could be perfected only by taking
| IL up by sections.
Springer Of Illinois read from a Pitts
burg newspaper statement that Butter
worth's speech had created CONSERVATION
among the protectionists, and that the tin
plate association had urged its members
to hasten to Washington.
Henderson Of Iowa offered as a substi-
| tute for the pending amendment that
lamp chimneys should continue to pay
| the present duty Of As per cent.
The following republicans voted with
Henderson: Adams, Butterworth, Bolli-
yer, Sweeney, Lacey, McCommas; Kerr,
were things in tn ill which he did not
approve. There were amendments he
| would like to make il he alone were to be
| consulted, but the committee had to look
to every interest in the United States. The
gentlemen on the other side said the
duties in the bill were too high. In the
glass schedule of the Mills bill, percent
| ages ranged from 30 To l52 per cent.
| Why had the gentleman on the other side
left duty of 152 per cent. on plate glass
Was IL because II was a revenue tariff, or
was II because the democratic party
made that the condition OF its support OF
the Mills bill. Mills said the high duties
OH the glassware schedule of the Mills
| bill did not meet his lMills1 views. He
was forced TO accept them. His friend
was placed in the same position i'm regard
to his bill. Mckinley's amendment was
adopted.
Mckinley then offered series of
| amendments, many of them unimport-
ant, which were all adopted.
Binding twine, composed ofmanilla, ,jute
or sisal grass, was transferred To the u
| cent class.
The clause relative to carpets was
amended so as 10 provide that carpets
made OF jute or other vegetable material,
| pay 6 cents per square yard, and mats,
rugs and screens cents.
The duty on burlaps mot exceeding 90
| inches I'm width was changed from IA To
| III cents per pound.
Duty on bags for grain made of burlaps
| was fixed mt cents a pound.
Russian came's hair was brought under
the head Of woods, class 3, duty
32 per cent. ad valorem, was placed on
woods third class and on Russian came l.
hair third class, the value OF which to he II

A duty OF fifty per cent. is imposed on

ted yards valued at not more than u
cents per pound, duty shall he 2H times

Dolliver, of Iowa, made strong spcecl
i'm which in the name OF the people he
reprcsen ed; he repudiated the dec
laration that they were poor and unpros
perous. He had became weary of theil
talk Of the depressed condition Of the
Iowa farmer.
Clark. OF Alabama, suggested that tn,
democratic party carried the state OF lowf
on the platform dcnouncing the higl
tariff as taxation.
He prophesied that when the bill weni
to the senate il would be SO amended tina
IL would he called the Allison bill. A lon,
debate ensted, principally devoted q
consideration of the subject Of farm mort
cages and politics. Mansiir, of Missouri
secured the floor and aroused the indigna
tion OF Iowa republicans by the staternen
that they had been repudiated by thei
| people. The house was in an uproar TO
a few minntes, a dozen members being ol
their feet vociferating and the remainde
cheering them on. When the uproar sub
sided ManslIr claimed that he was entitle,
to the floor The chair said the gentle
mans time had expired three minutes be
