WASHINGTON, July 81. I'm the senate tha
resolution offered by Mr.. Sherman for the
daily meeting Of the senate at 10 a. m. was
agreed to. Mr.. Coekrell supported ths
resolution, and made long statements az
70 the amount Of business transacted by
the senate at the present session, showing
that public business had not been neglect
ed or the time Of the senate wasted.
The whole number of bills disposed "a
by tho senate was LAS. The house had
passed s65 out Of 10000 bills introduced.
OF the senate bills passed the house had
only passed 23l, while Of the house bills
the senate had passed 6la On the house
calendar OF bills pending in the committees
Of the whole there were 3sl, Of which 1O5
were senate bills. There were 8il senate
bills (acted on by house committees) now
on the house calendar with the iron heel
OF the one man power securely resting ON
that calendar. The reason that the houss
had not done more business and disposed
Of more bills was that it ignored in it's orr
ganization and in It's changed rules the
fundamental principles of parliamentary
discussion.

an abundant and cheap supply, not only
for home consumption, but also for ex-

At the conclusion Of Mr.. Morrilps speech
numerous amendments in the nature Of
reductions offered from the Democratia

Mr.. Carlisle, referring to a statement
made by Mr.. Stewart said that all this

and consequently that did not appear i'm
the per capita statement The policy oe
Great Britain was TO impose taxes mainly
If not entirely on articles not produced i'm
that country.
The result was the tax did not enl1anca
the price 10 the consumer Of any domesti0
product. The policy Of the United States,
on the contrary-and 1t was still further
carried out by the pending bill-was Co
put on the free list articles not produced
In this country, and TO impose taxes ON
articles similar TO those produced at home.

The taxes it imposed on smeTieap citi-

enhanced prices Of the domestic articles as
well as those that went into the treasury
would not be less than $40 per capita. He
thought that no senator would deny that
whenever an article of a certain kind and
quality was actually imported and sold In
the American market in competition with
domestic articles of the same kind and
quality, the amount Of the duty was added
to the price Of the domestic article
Challenged by senator HiscocIS.
This proposition was challenged and de-
MED by Mr.. Hiscock, who asked whether
the tax Of fifteen cents bushel on the H.
OOO,OOO bushels of potatoes imported from
Canada adped fifteen cents a bushel to the
potato crop Of the United States, and Mr..
Carlisle's answer was that it did add fifteen
cents bushel to the American potatoes
sold In the immediate market where tha
Canadian potatoes were sold. The anounk
OF importation, however, was 50 inconsa-
quential as to have no effect on the general
price Of potatoes in the United States.
Mr.. Aldrich put other questions of a like
character, and discussion was carried on
at considerable length. At its conclusion
the duty on chloroform was reduced from
forty TO twenty-five cents a pound. A num-
Der Of amendments offered by Democrats
were rejected, and the senate laid Ehs bib
