the House and also as modified by the

was, be said, an exact computation of the
revenue to be raised under proposed bill
based upon a former law. AdTich said
that Senators on the other side, responsible
for the legislation. must have some idea of
the revenue to be raised by this bill. Ii
they had it was clearly their duty to pre-
sent their ideas of this subject to the
Senate.

go into the dominion Of conjecture to allow
Senators on the other side to fiji buster"
1--WE are not flibustering." shouted

debate on the most Insignificant matters
We want to dispose of this bill. Your
tactics will not prevail" said Vest, rails
ing his hand impressively. 1--WE intend
to pass this bill if it takes until the snow
