Mr.. Wilson closed with an eloquent
appeal to his fellow Democrats. He
told them the record of the house wOnld
permanently record no passing event,
hut an epoch in American history. He
wanted every Democratic name record /
ed on that historic roll. In that case,
he said, the day would be n proud and
happy one for him. His closing words
were: IN the name of honor. in the 4
name OF freedom, | summon every I
Democrat to vote for this bill"
Mr.. Wilson'S glowing peroration
aroused the Democrats and the galleries
TO the highest pitch of enthusiasm and
the demonstration which followed his
last words has seldom been eQualled in
the house. The whole Democratic side
rose To its feet. books and records were
THROWN IN THE AIR,
cheer followed cheer, the people in the
galleries joined with voice and hands In

of the hall, where. for ten minutes. he
listened to the words of praise that were
showered upon him.
1t was remarkable demonstration in
every respect. The time had now ar
| rived to vote on the bill and pending
amendments. But the disorder was so
| great that the sergeant-at-armS was
called upon to clear the alsles, and the
| wives of members who had been allowed
| upon the floor were obliged to retire. lie
! took twenty minutes to restore order SO
| that the public business could proceed.
| The speaker then announced that there
were two pending amendments-that of
| the committee on ways and means to
| Increase the duty on barley from 20 to
% per cent adj yalorem, and on barley
| malt from % to 30 per cent, and the
amendment of Mr.. Tawney (Rep.,
Minn.) to increase the duty to % cents
per bushel on barley, and 80 cents on
barley malt.
THE FIRST VOTE
was taken on the Tawney amendment,
| which was lost upon an aye and nay
vote by 120 to 1877. The committee
amendment was then agreed to, 202 to
| l04. although number of Democrats,
including Messrs. Lockwood, of New
York; McCreary, McMillin, Warner.
Bland, Wheeler. OF Alabama, and VOL
verton, voted against it.
The speaker then announced that the
vote was upon the amendments adopted
| BY the committee of the whole.
MIR. Johnson. of ONO. demanded
amendments.
Mr.. English (Dem., n. ID asked for
a separate vote upon the income tax
and upon the petroleum amendment
The other amendments, including that
amendment abolishing the bounty on
sugar and that placing refined sugar on
the free list. were then agreed TO in
bulk without division. The first
amendment which Mr.. johnson desired
a separate vote upon was that placing
wool on the free list Immediately upon
the passage of the bill. This amend
ment having been vitiated by later
! amendment placing the date at Aug.
| 2, q point of order was raised that the
| latter amendment must first be voted
| upon, but after some discussion the
chair decided that the johnson amend
ment must first be voted upon to per-.

would come upon the amendment to
strike out the words immediately after
the passage of the bill'' and insert ION
and after Aug. q"
The Johnson amendment was there
fore agreed to, 205 to 147. Mr.. Johnson
tried TO get the yeas and nays. but could
only muster five votes to his aid. The
amendment fixing athe date as Dec.
when the manufactured WOODEN Sched-
ule should go into effect was also
adopted, 200 to 1856, Mr.. johnson again
being unable to secure the yeas and
nays.
The vote was then taken upon the
amendment providing for reciprocity
i'll petroleum, and it was carried, III
to AZ.
The last amendment to be voted upon
was that providing for the income tax.
Mr.. Cochran demanded the yeas aud
nays upon this amendment. it was
significant that the Republicans refused
to second the demand for the yeas and
nays, but enough Democrats arose SD
to order the roll call. 1t was then found
that the income tax could not be voted
upon as separate proposition, the
speaker deciding. in accordance with a
precedent which he cited.ethat the in
ternal revenue amendment, having
been reported as single amendment.
could not be divided. The vote, there
fore, was upon the entire rejection of
the internal revenue amendment.
The Republicans, with a few excep-
lions, refused to vote, but the amend
ment, including the income tax, was
adopted-lS2 to so.
The Populists voted in the affirm
alive, as did the following Republic
ans:

SOME CHEERING
greeted the announcement of the vote.
The bill was engrossed and read the
third time. The last stage in the pass

Mr.. Covert Dem. n. " moved to re-
commit the the bill to the committee
with instructions ito report it back
with such amendments as will provide
by duties levied on imports for such adj
ditional revenue as may be necessary to
the support of the government economi-

Upon that motion Mr.. Cochran de-
manded the ayes and nays, but only
thirty-siX Democrats rose to second the |
demand principally those who had
voted against the income tax, together
with the Louisiana sugar men, not |
sufficient number. The motion to re-
commit was then defeated on a rising
vote, 103 to III.
Then came the final vote on the bifl |

was asked and granted by rising vote. |
