Senator Payn- ter, of Kentucky, to-day announced that he offered his amendment with the idea that it would lower the price through foreign competition so as to enable country newspapers to purchase these labor saving devices.

 amendment, if adopted, would reduce it to ten per cent. ad valorem. The present duty is certainly prohibitive and the price of the machines is such now that they are not within the reach of any but these who do a large and prosperous business.
 "One Inanufa cturer should not be given absolute control of our market for the sale of the useful machines. The tax imposed at present is not for revenue as none is derived there from It is imposed for the benefit of the single manufacturer
