"Did you say the price Of fence wire
has fallen under the influence of the

80 to 81, and restored fence wire TO the

free list. 1t was loSt-l7 to So. Fhe vote
then required on Mr.. Aliens amend
ment to place fence wire ON the free list.
1t was loSt-32t0 3S-and again Mr.. Allen
stood defeated. Mr.. Villas (Den., Wis

terial used for the manufacture of wire
used for fencing purposes OH the free

The amendment shared the same fate
as It's predecessors. the vote of the
EIGHT DEMOCRATS

Mr.. Ransom (Dem.. N. c. then moved
to place duty of 20 per cent on mica,
which had been placed OH the free list
by the committee.
w by Is it proposed to reverse the
committees action at this stage of the
game ?" persisted Mr.. Hill. .'In order

the amendment the vote was taken, and
the amendment, with the aid of Repub-
