from them before proceeding to rip up
protection and establish the revenue
tariff which their plarform declares for.
10 be sure they are claiming that the
vote. OF last year was mandate from the
people to proceed with their tariff smash
ing, but certain events since then have
led them to suspect that possibly the
mandate was issued upon the strength
OF false representations, and to want
more light on the subject. If next
weeks elections bring severe defeat to
the Democrats in the northern States
we may be sure that tariff smashing
will be conducted in a much more care
full and far less destructive way that if
they bring victory. If workingmen want
the tariff smashed and their wages
smashed along with it they will vote the
Democratic ticket in Ohio and Massa-
chusetts. If that isn't what they want
they will see that the Republican cam
didates are overwhelmingly elected.

The Argus the other day INDUCED in
some warm commentator of Senator
Hill for his efforts to get the Senate
down to business on the repeal bill
Yesterday the Senator introduced rule
designed to prevent the breaking of "a
quorum by simply remaining silent. In
other words he wants the presiding
officer instructed to count quorum. We
shall be curious to see whether the
Argus approves his course or denounces
him as Gar and tyrant.

In the Boston Globes financial column
we find the following:
Stocks did not respond to the passage
OF the repeal bill by the Senate in the
way that most people had expected it
would, but the ticker was no real indi-
cation of the general feeling in the bust
ness world.
This is little singular considering
that the Democratic papers have been
telling us all along that the only obsta-
Gle to prosperity was the Sherman law
and that with that measure repealed
prosperity would return with leaps and
bounds. One would have supposed that
with the repeal passed by the Senate
stocks would have leaped into the air
for joy. We suppose the explanation
is the same that the Democratic papers
are giving for the closing of factories
and machine shops, which they say is
the result of determination on the part
OF the Republicans to discredit the Demo-
cratic administration. The Republicans
all became bears and kept stocks down.

and Passed.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-In the senate
this morning the quarantine bill was
taken up. Whites amendment that all
the provisions Of the act shall expire
January 1, 1895, was rejected. The bill
was then reported to the senate from
the committee of tht whole and all the
amendments concutred IN. Further
amendments offered by Gray and Villas
were rejected. Palmer of Illinois moved
to amend the seventh section by strik-
ton" and inserting the words pro
hibit in whole or in part the introduc-
tion of persons and property" This
was agreed to without division. and the
section ae amended was agreed to. The
bill then passed without division.
Chandler OF New Hampshire said he
would allow the special order as to the
bill prohibiting immigration one year,
TO lapse, but bring it up at an early day.
The anti-options bill was then taken
up and Villas read the second part OF his
argument against it. The passage Of
the bill, he declared, would be viola
tion OF the constitution and an encroach-
ment on the right of the states and in
terests Of the people.
At the close OF Vilas's speech vote
was taken on the amendment offered by
White of Louisiana, to strike out the
last proviEo to section two. No quorum

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-The house to-
day, in conformity with q resolution from
the committee on rules, proceeded to
consideration of the Grain joint resolu-
ton, proposing amendments to the con-
stitution. substituting the 3lst day OF
December for the 4th day of March as
the commencement and termination OF
the official terms of members OF the
house OF representatives and United
States senators, and providing that con-
gress shall hold its annual meeting the
second Monday in January, and SUP
stituting the 30th of April for the 4th OF
March as the date for the commence
ment and limitation of the terms OF the
president and vice president.
Chapman (Dem.) of Michigan. and
Grain advocated the measure and Tay !or
(Rep. Of Ohio, Hooker (Dem.) of Mich
igan, and Cochran (Dem.) OF New YORK
opposed it. In his speech Cochran said !:
''By the proposal. instead OF having a

there will be no tribunal to settle by

BILE from the human race"
English (Dem of New jersey opposed
the bill. Buehnell (Dem.) OF Wisconsin
advocated the measure, as did also Boat
ner (Dem.) of Louisiana. Springer
(Dem J OF Illinois believed the reforms
proposed by the Joint resolution would
conduce to the prosperity and well be-
ing OF the people. Reed (Rep.) of Maine
seconded Cockrsn's attack upon the
measure, and made one of his character
istic speeches, vigorous and witty.
The vote then came on ordering the
joint resolution to third reading. 1t re-
suited: Yeas, 40; nays, 12l, thus de-
feHting the measure.

THE ANDREw-oArE BILL.


Majority Report of the House Coinage
Committee on the Measure.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. = Representa-
tive Cate of Arkansas has prepared the
report of the majority to accompany the
Sherman silver bullion purchase repeal
bill agreed upon by the house commit
tee on banking and currency yesterday.
1t asserts that the circulation will be in
creased between $10,000,000 and s16,-
100000 by the first section of the bill,
which provides that national banks may
issue bills to the par value OF the bonds
deposited.
The committee submitted its report
for the repeal of the bullion purchase
clause of the Sherman act, with no 9TH
or comments than that the experience
of the last two years has demonstrated
that the policy entered upon at the time
of its passage has failed to afford sub
stantial benefit to any one, and that its
continuance is menace to the prosper
| ity of the country.
The committee realizes that its propo-
sition will stop the increase in the cir
culating medium by the issue OF treas
| ury notes IN the purchase OF silver, Dut
| the first section of the bill furnishes q
large increase in circulation, and one
which, in its opinion, is much safer and
more likely to supply the needs of the
country at large.
The committee also believe that the
cessation OF all silver purchases by the
government will not merely efficiently
aid in the effort to reach an international
agreement fixing the ratio of gold and
silver for coinage purposes throughout
the civilized world, but that euch legis-
lation as it proposes is prerequisite to
reaching an international agreement.
With respect to Gates amendment
providing for the coming OF the silver
bullion now in the treasury into dollars,
the report says this will also furnish a
considerable increase in the circulating
medium.
The friends of the Andrew-Cate bank
ing and silver repeal bill are confident
that they can get it up in the house for
consideration, but are in doubt as to
their ability to bring it to vote. They
expect a special order from the rules
committee giving the bill day in the
house.
