Mr HuntOn, the other Democratic sena-
tor from Virginia, said that the para

speech did injustice 10 himself and his
colleague, because there were not two
senators who had made more sacrifices

the tdrin bill He confessed that he was
earnestly In favor Of a revenue duty Of
~ cents ton ON coal and .ron ore. but
the day had never come, and never
would come when he was not willing 10
make sacrifices In regard TO those duties
As 10 sugar he thought that the proposed
rate Of 20 per cent ad valorem. was also
a fair revenue tariff and these duties
afforded at the same time incidental pro-
lection TO sugar coal and iron ore. That
was his idea OF proper tariff reform.
As 10 the Is cent pound additional
