Democrats Improve an Occasion to Ask
Who Pays the Tax.
WASHINGTON, March 2l.-At the
opening of the session Of the house Mr..
Dingley, the floor leader of the ma.
jority, offered the bill reported from
the ways and means committee, pro.
viding for the free entry into this coun.
try of guns, ammunition, and other
naval supplies and war material pur.
chased abroad, until Jan. l, 1899. He
explained that the committee had unan-
imously reported the bill. 1t was asked
for by the secretaries of war and navy.
Some of the Democrats undertook to
poke fun at Mr.. Dingley by asking him
why the supplies should be admitted
free of duty "if the foreigner paid the
tax"
Mr.. Dingley replied rather sharply,
that it was perfectly understood that
where articles were purchased abroad
and imported, the purchaser paid the
duty. The bill was passed without
division.
