MIR. Allison, Of Iowa, continued the speech
begun yesterday against the bill resuHntIS
at the point where he left off, as to the
differences between the al Valore1n system
of duties, provided for in the blIl. anu
the system of specific duties, for Wnich ne
was contending. There were very rev sent
tors in the chamber when he be$&n TO
speak-not more than ten on eacn Slde-3Iu
tine galleries were not half fun Mr.. NILS
ren1ied to Mr.. Allison's argument and con
tended that the specific system of duties so
extolled by the senator from Iowa was
tax levied on articles by quantlties, uIsre-
and undemocratc, ana unjust system
while the ad valorem system was tax
levied on articles according to their value
and was fair and just system.
He was asked by Mr.. Mitchell, of oregon,
why, if that the fact, there were 2oO
or 300 instances in the bill Whefe SPECIFIC
duties were imposed.
He said he would answer in the yankee
way by asking Mr.. Mitchell why there
were so many ad valorem rates in the Nc
Kinley bill? He went on to say that all
legislation was compromise and that there
were senators on his side who believed in
specific duties and senators who believed in
ad vclorGm duties. He admitted that the
bill could not be passed unless concessions
were made, and wound up by this fisurative
but expressive declaration:
saw this bill does not suit |
between the devil and the deep sea. And
when the question is presented to me-
whether | shall go to the devil and sustain
the Mckinley act or whether | shall so to
sea; / am going to sea- in the hope that
some favoring wind or tide will bring me
ashore again. I am going to vote for this
bill do not care what changes are made
in it that those changes do not make
it as bad as the Mckinley act" General
