he had special reasons for his action
4 that he would explain.
In speaking of the free silver Sen
ator's course on the vote in the senate
on Thursday evening, Senator Carter
says the vote was precipitated without
notice pending a consultation among
the Republican silver men, looking to
united action on the revenue bill. The
motion to take the bill up being in viola
ton of an implied understanding, could
not under the circumstances but meet
with their prompt opposition. Senators
Teller, Dubois, Mantle and Carter, who
against taking the revenue bill up, have
been hopeful of securing support for an
| Increase of the duties on wool and the
perfection of the provisions of the Nc
Kinley law calculated to prevent fraud
ulent classification and consequent eva
sion of the law itself. Under the system
of classification provided in the house
bill, it is claimed that the protection
afforded wool would not exceed 3 cents
per pound; at the same time a IL per
cent increase over existing duties is
given by the bill to articles manufac
tured out of wool in whole or in part
This increase it is believed would give
the wooden manufacturers all the duty
they need, and therefore, result in caus-
ing their senators and representatives to
deprecate reopening the wool schedules
the future. Therefore, entirely indie
pendent of the silver question, the sena-
tors named are dissatisfied with the pro-
visions relating to wool and the provi- |
sions relating to lead are likewise unsat-
sfactory. They do not feel disposed to
give the eastern manufacturers all they
desire in consideration of bare pittance
for the western people, which would not
be adequate protection and would only
involve slow death for the wool and lead
producers.
Senator Brown to-day introduced bills
sn the senate providing for public builds

provide for appropriating 100000 for
Salt Lake and 100000 for Ogden, and

Wilson of Idaho expect to appear to-
