Adopts Hears Arbitration Amendment.
Washington, April 1.-The discipline
and harmony on the Republican side Of
the ways and means committee was
illustrated yesterday when the amend
ment was offered to the tariff bill maxi
ing the duties In the bill effective April
I. The parliamentary point immedi-
ately was raised by the opposition that
the amendment had not yet been or
dered reported by the full committee.
In order to avoid any technical trouble
Dingley withdrew the amendment and
called q meeting Of the ways and means
committee. whose members filed out OF
the hall. The committee was absent but
a few moments and upon entering the
chamber Grosvenor again offered the
amendment. Dockery offered as an
amendment the proposal to suspend the
duties on articles controlled by trusts.
A point Of order was made against 1t
and after a short discussion sustained
by the chair. An arrangement was
made for fifteen minutes debate on each
side on the Grosvenor amendment.
Bailey Grows Economical Of Time.
Bailey stated that the opposition was
extremely anxious to reach two
schedules In the bill. and did not desire
to consume more time on this amend
ment- In opening Grosvenor remarked
upon the alleged attempt Of the Demo-
Gratis to make political capital out of
ostentatious opposition to trusts. AS to
the pending proposition to make this
tariff bill go into effect April 1. no mat
ter what the date of its final enactment,
he said two questions were involved
it's expediency and its wisdom. That
1t was wise he did not think any one
would deny and he would, therefore.
direct his attention entirely to the ques-
ton Of its expediency.

GROsvENoRs STRONGEST PoINT

Gets Precedent from the Wilson Law
Arguments OF the Democrats.
Grosvenor's strongest point was made
in connection with the present tariff
law. which bore date of Aug. 1. 1894.
but was not finally enacted until twen-
ty-eight days later. Although this was
unintentional, the supreme court had
held that 1t was retrospective. The in
come tax, although 1t had been held un-
constitutional (not on that point, how
ever. levied on every dollar held on the
LIST of the preceding January. Whisky
in bond, manufactured under the 90
cent tax under the operation of that
bill. paid 20 cents additional.
Richardson of Tennessee contended
that the supreme court decision in the
case involving the Wilson law, in which
the opinion of the supreme court was de-
livered by Chief Justice Fuller, decided
exactly contrary to the contention of
Grosvenor. Goods imported between
Aug. and Aug. g. 1894. 1t was decided.
should pay the Mckinley, and not the
Wilson rates.
"If you ere going to make this law
take effect tomorrow why not say to-
day?" demanded Bland; "or why not
the day the Mckinley law was repeal
ed. The real puspose. he added, was
to check all imports SO long as the bill
was pending before congress, If that
should be until next March.
The debate on the amendment was
concluded by Bailey. who said: "Mr.
Grosvenor fails to distinguish between
the power of congress to pass retroac-
tive laws and to put inconsistent laws
In action at the same time. The propo-
| sition Of the ways and means commit
| tee is that congress shall have the pow
er to compel the people Of the United
States to live at the same time under
two different and conflicting laws. Even
II by some strange decision Of a court
congress could exercise that power 1t
would not be wise to exercise 1t. You
propose to put the people under laws
that are yet in the unfathomable wis
dom Of the United States senate"
The debate having been ended Grosve-
nor proposed an amendment to the
amendment, which was that the lien
imposed on goods by this act, imported
between April 1 and the enactment OF
the act, should he only to the amount
OF the duties Of this act over the
Wilson act. The amendment to- the
amendment was adopted. The vote was
then taken by tellers on the original
amendment fixing April as the date on
which the bill was to go into effect and
it was adopted-150 to 100.
