Carlisle addressed the Senate.
He asserted tnat the bill as it now
stood (exCepting sugar and molasses) re-.
moved from the free and placed on the
dutiable list more than it took from the
lu!iable list and placed on the free list.
He also asserted that the bill would re.
duce the revenues and increase the tax
alton. Unless his calculations were ut
fault, tho average rate OF duty under this
conference bill would be 60 per cent in.
stcnd OF 10! per cent Under the existing
law.
INACCURATE STATEMENTS.
Mr.. Carlisle went on to give figures as
TO the increased taxation under the con.
ference bill, stating it to be in the steel
and iron schedule Sl0.OO0,O00; in the
wooicn schedule Sti 600 900; in the cot
ton schedule S2, 100000; in the flax and
linen schedule S5,0O0,000; in tin plates
SS,I35,0O0, and on tin in pigs or bars
81 ,J5L L0G0. He said in order to Compen.
safe ior this increase in taxation a tax
OF two cents pound would be taken of
tobacco, which would relieve no man, as
consumers would not feel it. Every
penny OF the bounty on sugar would go
to the manufacturer and not the grower.
The courts have invariably held that
no State Legislature could authorizs
county or municipality to impose taxes
for the purpose OF encouraging manuiac-
turcs or my other industrial pursuits.
II the State could not do it with unlm-
tied powers OF taxing) how, Mr.. Carlisle
asked, could the general government do
it? On thspoint Mr.. Carlisle quoted at
length from writers on jurisprudence
and from decisions OF courts in several
States 10 the effect that taxation for pri.
vste purposes was not taxation but
plumber.
IR. ALLlsoS's SPEECH.
Mr.. Allison criticised several OF Mr..
Carlisles statements and denied their
accuracy. He said, instead OF reducing
the revenue s2,OOO,0OO, it would reduce
it from S.lO,000,OO0 TO S.l5,000,000.
On the question OF tin plate, Ee ex-
pressed the belief that within five years
from this time the United States would
produce substantially all the tin plate
consumed here and that the consumers
would have it Il. q less price than they
had paid for the last ten years. He said
Southern planters claimed the proposed
sugar bounty would immensely siimu-
late the product.
The House bill to enable the Post.
master General to test at small towns
and villsges the practicability OF the free
delivery system, was passed.
Mir. Aldrich then took.the floor to clos g
The discussion. He explained the con-
lerpnce report, and denied the accuracy
of many OF Mr.. Carlisle's estimates.
