WASHINGTON, March lG.-The free wool.
etc, bills were the supposed topics Of de-
bate in the house yesterday. but as usual
the talk went of on the whole subject of
the tariff. During the debate Walker
declared that there was no other country
In the world that was taxed lower than
the United States.
Harter, of Ohio. denied this and pro-
duced figures to show that Canada's tax
was less.
Walker said the taxes might be less for
some one year. but not for any long period
In support of his position he quoted certain
authorities, and said generally that when
ne wanted Information he always CON
suited people who were capable of giving
1t. He had consulted with the manu-
facturers on the floor. and they agreed
with him in his views a. to the tariff on
manufactured goods.

Referring to the question OF watches he
produced Jurgensen watch, which cost

frequently interrupted by Grain of Texas,

scoTTATTAcKs THE SUGAR BOUNTY
He Says 1t is Unconstitutional and Void,
Besides IDexpedient.

Besides Inexpedient.
Scott of Illinois followed and attacked
the Mckinley law. lie argued that the
sugar bounty provision was inexpedient as
public measure, as taking from the treas
ury the peoples money and paying it to a
private enterprise. He said that the Hi
nois state board of agriculture reported
that the corn crop of Illinois for 1889 was
produced at a loss to the farmers of sl0,-
100000 and that this greatest agricultural
interest had as much claim upon the
bounty of the government as the compare
lively Insignificant sugar industry.
Bounty for the Laboring Man.
1t was more expedient to give every
iaboring man % cents per day from the
treasury as a bounty. He insisted that
the bounty provision was unconstitutional
and void. He insisted that the remaining
duties should be stricken of. The effect of
protection ON agriculture was alluded to.

oational committee, who came to Ashe-
vile four weeks ago to try and arrest q
Sege Of ilhammatory rheumatism, came
TOO late, and has had a severe and painful
attack of it. To press representative
he denied that he was a candidate for he
presidency in any sense. The man 10
nominate was man who can poll the fall
party vote and draw Others to his support.
Blaine was such man.
Other Candidates in the Ring.
1t looked like Alger, Cullom and Blair
were in he race; also Rusk, Henderson
and Mckinley. Either would make Il
good cand date. President Harrison had
added to the glory of the name Of the
country ard of the party. He had grown
steadily IL public estimation and in the
last year rapidly in party estimation.
II was not unlikely, and, indeed probable,
that he might be chosen again. Ii the
party was left free to make up its mind
and no effort was made which would
change the dignity of his position nor put
him in the light Of scrambling for rcuorli-
nation, the final judgment mt Minncafo
lis was most likely to be in his favor.
