The hem - - 2rooksti jute schedule met
with a litt.- + of}re discussion. but the
finance commit. res recommendations were
all agreed to -cept that Mr.. Vest moved
to strike out the last phrase OF the sched-
ule, putting q duty on grain bags, so that
they might be afterwards placed on the Tree
list. This was agreed to.
The next paragraph CID puts duty of
Is per cent on bagging for cotton, composed
in part or in whole of hemp, flax, jute or
jute buns.
An amendment was offered by Mr.. PETER
to exempt it from duty.
Mr.. Vest said that no opposition would
be offered to the amendment by the finance
committee
The amendment was agreed to-yeas, "a;
nays, 10, and cotton bagging was made ex-
empt from duty.
Then came the paragraph collars and
cuffs (275 The house bill made the duty
on collars and cuffs and shirts and all linen
wearing apparel 35 per cent ad valorem.
The amendment of the finance committee
was to make the paragraph read: collars
and cuffs composed wholly or in part Of
linen 80 cents per dozen pieces and iii adj
~ition thereto 80 per cent ad valorem; shirts
and all other articles of wearing apparel of
every description, not specially provided for
in this act, composed wholly or in part of
linen so per cent ad valorem.
Messrs. Platt, Hoar, Chandler and Aid
rich twtted the democrats withs having
placed duty not only protective, but pro-
hibitive, these articles of manufacture
and invited an explanation from Mr.. Vest.
Mr.. Vest insisted that the rates fixed
constituted a revenue duty.
Mr.. Hoar turned toward Mr.. Mills, who
chamber, and said: "Will not the senator
from Texas tell US
a Retort by Mills.
Without waiting for close of the sen
tence, Mr.. Mills broke in: with the great
est pleasure in the world. / knew that you
would come to me- and [ was waiting for
you to do Gaughter) We found our
selves in a situation where it was necessary
to make this concession. In order to prevent
how yl,, ,-;,,
the people of the United States about $780,
000 900 q year on wooden goods and SIPS, 000,G coo
year on cotton goods, and in order to re-
duce the plumber ON WOODEN goods about
$1,000 900, and the plumber on cotton goods
well, not SO much-very little--Qaugh
we had to stand little rise on collars and
cuffs"
THAT is not the way to state it," Mr.
Hoar said. ''It is not little rise on collars
and cuffs. The senator goes forth, with his
! bludGeon in his hand and says there is u
rCbbel on the highroad plunIerng at large;
and therefore l will take to the byways
and do a little plundering myself Iaugh-
teri But / would like to have the senator
go little farther and tell us now it came
to be necessary to do this How did it hap
pen? What democrat was it who would not
vote for The bill without certain condi-
tions?'
Tuesday Wearisoms Day.
| Washington, June 12.-If any progress was
made today in the direction of a final vote
on the TARIFF bill it must have been in pri-
| vate consultations such as those which yes
! terday removed all Instructions from the
| path of the cotton schedule. In the public
| open session there was not step of pro-
| gress made.
| Schedule X, wool and manufactures of
| WOOL" was then taken up. The first par
! agraph in the house bill (270 was in these
| words: wool of the sheep, hair of the
! camel, goat, alapaca and other like animls
| in the form Of subbing waste, rowing
| waste, ring waste, mungo, shoddies,
| granetted or carded waste carboniZed coils
| or other waste product, any of which is
! composed wholly in part of wool, the
! hair of the camel, goat, a1apaca and other
! like animals, which has been improved or
| advanced beyond its original condition, as
! waste by the use OF machinery or the appli-
cation of labor or both, and carbonized
| WOOL shall be subject to a duty Of Is per
| cent ad Valorem."
| The paragraph was reported by the SEN
ate finance committee without amend
| ment, but, subsequently, Mr.. Jones' on
| ate finance committee without amend
| ment striking out the paragraph as to
| have those classes of wool included in the
! free list paragraph as to all wool. 1t is
| that amendment which is pending.
| Mr.. McMillin. of Michigan argued in
! favor of duties on wool and gave his as
| sent to Mr.. PETERS amendment to re-
| enact the existing rates with a reduction
| of 40 per cent.

Mr. Quay then took the floor and deliv-
| cred the seventh portion of the tariff speech

| of 157 printed pages for the day, but he
| yielded the floor readily to anybody who
| chose to interrupt him.
Mr.. Quay yielded the floor to Mr.. Petit
