scene.
The day opened with what appear
ed to be part of an organized f~li.usl-
er against the conference report,
when Mondell, of Wyoming den4And-

This proceeded for an hour anu a

Payne DEFENDS 1t.
Payne defended the report and APP
.pealed to ms republican colleagues
to support it, prophesying at the
same time that when the bill was en- j
acted into law it would meet wlva
approval of the country.
We have revised the tariff an.
have taken off unnecessary duties
said Payne; not all along the lane
generally, but in our revision OF the
tariff we have revised the tariff down
ward and yet have held the scales so
evenly we have done no injury to
any person or industry in the United
States.
These rates increase the revenue
from customs less than $4,000 1000.
The corporation tax is estimated to
produce $26.O0O,00 O and tobacco
1888, O00." He placed the increase
of revenue at about $4,000. 900,
which, he said is revenue enough,
when this bill. gets into working ord
er, to supply the necessary demands
of the government, except to build
the Panama canal. We will leave
that to another generation. We have
provided funds that will establis-
the policy of this government in that
respect.
Enough Revenues
"The Dingley law, during all its
pericd of existence, has provided am
pie revenue, and there is no doubt
this law will do the same for another
twelve years." he continued. "Let us
pass it, gentlemen, on this side of the
house. The duty is ours and the time
has arrived.
There will come in another bill
one Of these days. and in the mean
time the wheels of industry will stop.
and enterprise be paralyzed; the
country will stand still, or will move
backward, and you will curse the day
when you failed to go with the great
majority of your party, your presi-
dent having lent his approval to this
bin.
LET us pass the bill and give joy
and happiness to the people of the
United States. Let us start the re-
naming idle wheels of industry: LET
us put every man who wants to worA.
at work"
Thunderous applause greeted
Payne as he took his seat.
When the hour OF 8 arrived, nearly
every member was in his seat. Payne
by a clever parliamentary move, was
prompt to make a motion to recon-
mend the report Of the conference
committee and upon that motion de-
manded the previous question. Mann
was alert to the situation, however,
and got enough support among the
democrats and republican "insur-
gents" to force a roll call.
This vote resulted ayes 1876, noes
1Sl and the previous question was

Int loud applause yer the announce
nenk The roll again was called on
1.-THE motion to recommit.
AS Payne had planned, the motion
to recommit was lost, but only by the
close vote of 1876 to 1S1. Then
came the crucial test-the vote on
the conference report itself. All were
agreed that there should be a roll
call, and the long list of names, for
