rs modified by the pending senate
amendments, based upon last years i'm
portalons. Mr.. Allison complained that
the report presented by Mir. Voorhees,
was not an estimate at all. IL was, he
said, an exact computation of the reve-
nue. to be raised under a proposed bill!
based upon former law.
MIR. Aldrich declared that the senators
on the other side responsible for legisla-
ton must have some idea of the revenue
to be raised by this bill. If they bad, it
was clearly their duty to present their
ideas on this subject TO The senate.

pose to go into the domain OF conject-
ure 10 allow the senators OH the other
sile TO filibuster."
We are not tilibustering," shouted
half dozen Republicans in chorus.
~ Oh are not hlibuStering?" said Mr.
Vest, with temper. Then what do YOU
call il? You spend hours here in alleged
debate on the most insignificant mat
tiers. We want TO dispose of this bill.
Your tactics will not prevail" said MIR.
Vest, raising his hand impressively.
I'VE intend to pass this bill if it takes
until the SHOW flies next winter"
