 Richards followed with a short speech in support of the Wilson bill, after which Dingley, who spoke in the place of Gear, one of the Republican mem bers of the ways and means committee, who is unayoldably absent in connec- [, tion with the senatorial fight in his state, took the floor.
 Dingley said, 1.-The pending tariff bill purports to be bill to provide revenue, It is in fact bill to abolish revenue, in short the proposed tariff bill is not & bill for revenue only but for deficiency only. The excuse given for such sur render of needed revenues IS the alleged necessity for reducing the taxation of the masses. I find surrender of about $36, ,000 ,000 in duties on articles of luxury or voluntary use consumed mainly by well-to-do people who are willing to pay for them. Then about $6, 100000 of revenue is consumed by a reduction of duty on tin plate. Lumber and many agricultural pro- ducts were placed on the free list and Canada will pocket the duties which we surrender"
