its vote put an end to the scandal sur
rounding this subject. Now was the
opportunity he declared, for Republic

sions Of four years ago against the

Stewart said he did not expect this
tariff bill to afford any material relief
to the country as there was a cancer
of financial contraction which was
eating the vitals Of the country. The

qualities of the schedules. The amount

it was in the original committee

A then. As ii was now 5 O'Clock, Jones
asked that the amendment go over.
