mittee of the republican senate finance
committee continued the consideration of
the tariff bill. The wood schedule passed
and the sugar schedule was laid over for

await the return OF Morrill, and Sherman
before taking up subject of such inn
portance.
Two New York fur dealers. represent
ing. they said. 100 houses engaged in the
Of fur goods, were given hearing. They
asked that the duties on furs aud FUR
goods be increased on account OF the
competition of cheap foreign labor.
At the conclusion of Pugh's speech the
silver bill was temporarily laid inside and
the following senate bills taken from the
calendar and passed: Toamend section
of the revised statutes so as to make II
read, "any person who withdraws any
fermented liquors from any hoRshead,

or upon any premises having communi-
cation with brewery or warehouse, will
be liable to n fine of $500, and the prop
erty used in such bottline or business,
will be liable to forfeiture. Provided,
however, that this section is not TO be con.
strtIed SO as to prevent the withdrawal
and transfer of fermcntcd liquors from
any of the watts in any brewery
by. way Of pipe, line or other con-
duits to another building or place
for the sole purpose of bottlinR the same.
Such pipe, line, or conduct must be con-
structed and operated under such rules
and regulations as may he prescribed by
the commissioner of internal revenue,
subject to the approval OF the secretary OF
the treasury, and all locks and seals pre-
scribed by the commissioner of internal

States. Provided further that the tax inn

To provide for the expectation OF fer

Of the international revenue tax, the bill
provides that fropi and after January,
1891, fermentcd liquor may he removed

ury, may from time To time prescribe I;
and no drawback of any tax will be al
lowed on fermented liquor exported on
and after January 1, 1891, unless entered
for expectation prior TO such date.
The silver bill was again taken up, and
Farwell addressed the senate. He de.
clared himself in full accord with the
purposes of the bill. but said he was in
favor of going still further. He would
use, for money, all silver offered and not
a stipulated sum as provided for in the
bill, and he would coin il at its market
value. IL the price of silver should
advance TO par with gold tas
the friends of the bill claimed il
would then free coinage would
come as n matter of course. What OBJ
lection could there be, he asked, to put
| of silver? Two other things were neces-
sary. The national bank system should
| be preserved and the sub-treasury system
| abolished. When these measures were
adopted the people could get all the
money they needed issued by the govern
notes with silver bullion behind them as
security furnished circulation that was
| absolutely safe, and could not tie re
dundant, and would still supply the
monthly retirement of the national bank
currency. The national bank system should
| be perpetuated by substituting other thar
United States bonds TO secure our money
circulation. People would then utilize al
the best bonds Of the country and would
procure such q circulation as the business
Of the country demanded. The treasur,
notes to be issued under this bill woult
add largely TO the circulating medium
He did not think that II was within th,
province of congress 10 determine the
amount OF the circulating medium, bu
some law like n national banking Law
should he made the means by which th,
people could determine that matter fo
themselves. His object i'm favoring I'll,
abolition of the sub-trcas,iry was Ia hav,
all the money OF the people in the chan
| ncls OF business as il was before th,
passage of the independent treasury act IL
lsi0. Another reason for the chang
was that handled by the national bank
without any cost to the government. th
saving thus affected would aggregate sew
eral hundred thousand dollars per an
mum. He did not favor the repeal Of tn
independent treasury act for the purpos
Of beneflttting the banks.
Al the close OF Farwell's speech. tn
silver question was laid aside and the for
tifications bill taken up. An amendmen
