' XXXIXth Congress--First Session.
'CLOSE Or YESTERDAY'S PROCEEDMIGS.]
SENATE.—At one o'clock the. pending
Constitutional amendment on the subject of
representation was, taken up.
Mr. Sumner (Mass.) took the floor, and
made an eloquent and elaborate oration on
the Constitutional Amendment on the sub
ject orrepresentation. He said : Mr. Pre
sident, the proposition pow befoie - you is the
most important ever broughtbeforeCongress,
unless perhaps may except the amend
ment abolishing slavery, and to my mind it
is. the most utterly reprehensible and un
pardonable. The same sentiment which led
us to hail the abolition of slavery with grati
tude as the triumph of justice, should make
us reject with indignation a devich to crys
talize into organic law the disfranchisement
of a race.
The crime which I now arraign is against
four million persons, constituting a conside
rable portion of the people of the United
States, to whom we are bound by ties of
gratitude, and who are to us fellow-citizens.
From the moment I beard this proposition
first read at the desk I have not been able
to think of it without pain. The reflection
• that it might find aplace in the Constitution,
or even that it might be sanctioned by Con-.
_gress, is intolerable, and this becomes more
so when I call to mind the circumstances by
which we are surrounded, and the exigency
of the hour. For four years rebellion, in the
largest proportions known to authentic his
tory, raged amongst us, threatening to rend
this republic in twain. Intermixed with the
false men who warred on the republic were
three milli..n slaves, shut out from rights of
all kinds, and compelled to do the' bidding
of masters.
These slaves became our benefactors.
They were kind to our captive soldiers,
sheltering them, feeding them, supplying
their wants, and • guidirig them to safety.
Thus, in the very heart of the rebellion there
was a filial throb for the republic. At last,
arms were put into the hands of these bene
factors, and two hundred thousand brave
allies, representatives of an unmustered
host, leaped forward in defence of the na
tional cause. The republic was saved. The
rebellion was at an end. Meanwhile the
good. President who at that time guided our
affairs put forth his immortal proclamation
declaring that "these slaves are and hence
forward shall be free;" and not stopping
with the declaration, he proceeded to an
nounce that the Executive Government of
the United States, including the military
and naval authorities thereof, "will recog
nize and maintain the freedom of such per
sons."
Thus was the republic solemnly pledged
to these benefactors. first by the ties of gra
titude that should beenduring,and secondly
by an open promise in the face of the civil
ized world. And this pledge was taken up
and adopted by the people of the United
States, when by a constitutional amend
ment, they expressly empowered Congress
to maintain this freedom by approprl ice
legislation. And now, sir, called as we are
to re-adjust the foundations of political
power, which are naturally changed by the
disappearance of slavery, and called also to
perform sacred promises to benefactors in
harmony with sacred promises of our fath
ers, while at the same time save the name
of the republic from dishonor, and see that
the national peace is not imperiled. Con
grees is about to liquidate all these inviola
ble obligations by a new compromise of
human rights, and so far as it can to place
this compromise in the text of the Constitu
tion, thus establishing a false foundation of
political power,violating the national faith,
dishonoring ie name of the republic, and
imperiling the national peace.
Mr. Sumner next argued the powers of
Congress to enfranchise the blacks, and,
alter quoting from Supreme Court decisions
to show that by the abolition of slavery the
blackst of the country became citizens, he
said, therefore, I do not hesitate to say that
when the slaves of our country became
citizens, they took their place in the body
politic as a component part of the people,
entitled to equal rights and under the pro
tection of these two guardian principles:
_First, That all just government stands on
the consentof the governed. And .Secondly,
That taxation, without representation, is
tyrannical. nd these rights it is the duty
of Congress to ginarantee as essential to the
idea of a republic. The aspiration of
Abraham Lincoln in his marvelous utter
ances at Gettysburg was, that the "govern
ment of the people, by the people, and for
the people, should not perish from the earth."
But who will venture to exclude millions of
citizens from the people?
Mr. Doolittle having shown, as he thought,
that thb representation of the South would
not be increased, argued in favor of repre •
sentation according to the number of voters.
Mr. Morrill (Me.) rose to address the Sen
ate, but on motion of Mr. Johnson, the fur
ther consideration of the subject was post
poned till to-morrow at one o'clock.
Mr. Ramsey (Minn.) moved that the Sen
ate take up the bill for the admission of Colo
rado.
Ur. Sumner—l hope it will not be pro
ceeded with now.
Mr. Ramsey—l hope we shall at least give
it one reading at present, and thus proceed
from time to time till we get through with
it. Senators are here waiting for action of
this kind. It is due to them to give it one
reading at least.
Mr. Clark (N. H.) did not suppose the
bill could be considered in fall to-night. The
Senate ought to set an early day for its con
sideration.
Mr. Ramsey—This is the earliest possible
day the Senate can consider it. I hope it
will consider it now.
Mr. Wilson said the constitutional amend
ment was now pending, and it would be
better to dispose of that first. The Colorado
bill was not likely to pass without discus
sien. Therefore, he hoped the Senate would
go into executive session.
Mr. Trumbull spoke in favor of taking
up the Colorado bill. The Senate could pro
ceed as far as possible with it this evening,
and so from time to time until passed. He
- would express no opinion at this time as to
- whether Colorado had formed her Statecon
stitution in accordance' with the enabling
act which entitles her to admission.
Mr. Sumner hoped the bill would not be
taken up to-night. He had prepared an
amendment which he intended to offer to it,
but he had not brought it with him to-day.
He had received several letters from Colo
rado which he desired to read when the bill
was up, but he was not prepared to do so
now.
The bill was taken up and read a second
time, and made the special order for Mon
day next at one o'clock.
After the consideration of private bills,
the Senate at live o'clock adjourned.
.EousE.—Mr. Ingersoll, from the Com
mittee on the District of Columbia, reported
back the House bill to incorporate the Great
Falls -Ice Company of the District of
Columbia.
Mr. Conkling (N. Y.) opposed the bill,be
canse this was special legislation. If the
object of Congress was to enable the resi
dents of Washington to supply themselves
with ice Cheaply, the proper way was to
leave the business open to competition. just
as the business ,of selling meat, vegetables,
groceries, or any thing else was left open.
If, on the contrary, Congress desired to in
angnrate a system of speci4l legislation for
the benefit of a few favored persons, this
was an excellent way, and:ati excellent time
to do so. The title of the bill should be
changed so as to malie it read "a bill to
raise the price of ice in the city. of Wash
ington, and to insure profits which cannot
otherwise be had from that business to the
persons herein named." He Wfp entirely
opposed:, to this whole bill. If anything of
the sort was necessary Congress could pass
a general law ender which companies could
organize. He also objected to thie bill be
.
cause be understood it allowed the company
to sell its ice in Washington, or elsewhere;
and be asked the gentleman from Illinois,
(Mr. Ingersoll), whether that was not so?
Mr. Ingersoll—l should not be surprised.
Mr. Conkling inquired where "elsewhere"
was.
Mr. Ingersoll had not consulted an atlas
to find out. [Laughter].
Mr.Conkling denounced the whole system
as most Vicious.
Mr. Ingersoll stated that the proposition
did not interfere in the least with any pri
vate enterprise. The bill was simply t•)
allow persons having capital to organize a
company for supplying the citizens of Wash
ington with ice. He had heard a great deal
said of the extortions of Washington, but
he knew nothing of them. Prices here
were not in excess of prices in New York.
Mr. Grinnell asked what he thought of
house rents here.
Mr. Ingersoll replied that house rents
were higher in New York, reaching from
four to six thousand dollars a year.
Mr. Grinnell remarked that such houses
were not to be had here. . .
- - . - - -
Mr. Ingersoll admitted that, but insisted
that, for the same classes of houses, rents
were no higher here than elsewhere.
Mr. Stevens suggested that if the gentle
man from Illinois had been well treated
here it accounted for his course, but others
had not fared quite so well.
Mr. Ingersoll stated that he was treated
like a gentleman everywhere. [Laughter].
Mr. Conkling (solemnly)—Will the gen
tleman allow me one very quiet remark?
Mr. Ingersoll, (more solemnly)—No, sir,
Mr. Cankling moved that the bill be laid
on the table, and Ecalled for the yeas and
nays.
The yeas and nays were ordered and
taken, and resulted yeas 69, nays 58. So the
bill was laid on the table.
The bill which was passed over yesterday
concerning the fire department of Washing
ton city, was taken up, considered and
passed.
Mr. Wasbburne (Ill.), from the Recon
struction Committee, reported to the House
the testimony taken by that committee in
relation to the States of Louisiana, Texas
and Florida, which was ordered to be
printed.
The morning hour having expired, Mr.
Latharo,from the Committee on Printing,
reported a resolution, which was adopted,
to print 20,000 copies of the address of the
Speaker, and of the eulogy of SC , nator Cres
well on the life of Henry Winter Davis, de
livered in the House on the 22d ofTehruary.
On motion of Mr. Stevens, it was ordered
that the address and eulogy be printed in
the Globe.
On motion of Mr. Latham, the Senate
amendment to :the joint resolution giving
the consent of Congress to the transfer of
the counties of Berkley and Jefferson to the
State of West Virginia, was taken from the
Speaker's table and concurred in.
Mr. Bingham (Ohio) moved that f re thou
sand copies of the joint resolution to admit
Tennessee, with the testimony accompany
ing documents, reported from the Recon
struction Committee, be ordered to be
printed. Referred to the Committee on
Printing.
Mr. Schenck Ohio) reported from the
Committee on Military Affairs a bill to re
organize and establish the army of the
United States, which was read twice. Re
ccmmitted andi ordered to be printed.
Mr. Latham (W. Va.) asked and obtained
leave to have printed a bill which he de
sired to offer as a substitute for the bill to
protect all persons in the United States in
their civil rights.
Mr. Raymond stated that he had voted
yesterday against the amendment offered
by Mr. Schenck, in reference to cadets at the
Military Academy, but his vote was not re
corded.
Air. Perham (Mainel from the Committee
on Invalid Pensions, reported a bill supple
mentary to the several acts relating to pen
sions. Read twice and recommitted.
The Speaker presented a report from the
Secretary of the Interior, in reference to the
cost of printing and advertising in 186-1.
The Speaker also presented several reso -
lutions of the Legislatures of New Mexico,
in relation to a State government for that
territory and a capitol building, and asking
for a change in the organic act of the terri
tory in relation to the jurisdiction of probate
judges and for a penitentiary, all of which
were appropriately referred.
The Speaker also presented reports of the
United States Revenue Commissioners, in
reference to distilled spirits as a source of
national revenue, and on the influence of
duplication of taxes on American industry,
which were referred to the Committee on
Ways and Means.
The House then went into the Committee
of the Whole, Mr. Raymond (N. Y.) in the
chair, and resumed the consideration of the
bill regulating trade with the British North
American Provinces.
Mr. Kelley (Pa.) addressed the committee
in opposition to the bill.
Dlr. Kelley said that he would have been
satisfied yesterday with the amendment
suggested by the gentleman from Mary
land (Francis Thomasl. But to-day that
would not satisfy him. The bill should be
rejected. It was false in principle and in
detail, It woula diminish the revenues of
the country by suspending many branches
of industry. As he conned its sections he
had become doubtful of its origin, as to
whether it was British or American.
Many of its feature constrained him to
think that it was of foreign and not of
American origin. Referring to the ninth
section, authorizing the President to ter
minate or suspend the provisions of the act
whenever he thought proper, he reminded
the House that we were still living nnder
Democratic Republican institutions, and
not under a dictatorship. Such power might
be exercised by the Emperor of Russia, but
?ao such power had ever been or ever would
be confided to a President of the United
States.
Mr. Rogers asked the gentleman to yield.
Mr. Kelley—Excuse me, I have no time
for side issues. I will attend to them when
my distinguished friend has the floor. Mr.
Kelley went on to argue that the provisions
of the bill were calculated to prostrate
many of the leading interests of this coun
try, and to stimulate the development of
the resources of the British provinces. The
Reciprocity treaty, he said, was the result
of a conspiracy the first object of which was
to eive the American market to the foreign
manufacturer, by destroying every branch
of American manufactures.
Its second object was, having attained the
first, to prostrate the grain growers and
provision producers of the West and North,
and make them all subject to the slave
holding oligarchy of the South. In sup
port of this view he had extracts read from
a work printed in Georgia some years since
entitled "Cotton is King." Inasmuch as
'this bill had all the vices of the Recipro
city treaty be should propose the following
as a substitute. Strike out all after the
enacting clause and insert. "That from
and after the 17th day of March, 1866, there
shall be levied collected and paid on all
articles imported from her Britannic Ma
jesty's possessions in North America the
same duties and rates of duties now im
posed by law on like articles imported from
other foreign countries."
Mr. "Kelley asked why we should sacrifice
our interests to promote those of the Cana
dians, Who bad encouraged rebels to go
into the gentleman's (Mr. Morrill's) own
district, rob its banks and murder its citi
zens? The Canadians were our Most dan
garous• enemies because they were our
nearest neighbors. He did not find; even
in the Christian code of morals, that it is
laid down as an injunction tha.t we should
injure ourselves to benefit those who would
have disseminated poition among us, who
Would have burned our Cities and towns,
and who did all that tbe devilish malice - of
Bouthern madmen could suggest to injure
TfIE!DAILY EVENING BULLETIN : PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, MARCH 8,1866.
us. He would treat the Canadians as all
others—as friends in peace, enemies in war.
He would legislate for them on precisely
the same terms as he would for all the rest
of mankind. This bill might well be enti
tled a bill to destroy the fisheries, the salt
manufactories and the lumber trade of the
United States, and to prevent the working
of any bituminous coal mines east of the
summit of the Allegheny mountains, and
within the limits of the United States. It
would ruin all those great branches of in
dustry. Referring to the statement made
by Mr. Morrill, yesterday, as to the equality
between exports and imports of bituminous
coal in our trade with Canada, Mr. Kelley
denied that we exported bituminous coal
there. We sent only anthracite coal there,
which Canada must have, as she had none
of her own. The Pennsylvania coal fields
were a God-given monopoly, as with the
cotton fields of the South. They asked no
protection for them so far as Canada was
concerned. If it were constitutional to im
pose an export duty on anthracite coal, it
might be done, and the Canadians would
still buy it. If the gentleman wanted to
have cheap coal, why not take the duty of
$1 25 a ton off British coal?
Mr. Morrill—Does the gentleman desire
an answer?
Mr. 'Kelley—Yes. a
Mr. Morrill—l confess I am not clear that
it is proper to protect coal at all. I believe
it is one of those interests which cannot be
increased by protection, and if not the
- whole foundation of the doctrine of putting
a high tariff on it drops out. I think it is
so nearly allied to firewood that it is not
possible to protect it. As to bitunainocus
coal, do they not use it in Upper Canada for
the purpose of making gas?
M r.Kelley answered that some small quan
tity of Ohio coal might have gone there for
experimenting in gas, or as ballast, bus there
was no organized company in Upper Canada
for the sate of bituminous coal from Ohio,
Pennsylvania, or Virginia. He was not
speaking to-day for Pennsylvania interests,
but for the interests of poor, wasted, war
bedeviled Virginia, Maryland, Kentucky,
Tennessee, Missouri, Georgia and all the
Southern States. The people of the British
Provinces woad yet be onr countrymen.
When British free trade should have im
poverished them, and driven emigration
from their shores—when the people of Ca
nada asked to unite their destinies with
our—we would give a new evidence that
when Providence impelled the erection of
our Government it gave us a Constitution
which is the fit canopy of a continent, and
which will yet crown one,
Mr. Briggs ( Mich.), next addressed the
committee, in opposition to the bill, partic
ularly to that part of it relating to lumber.
He thought the duty which the bill imposed
on Canadian lumber was too low. He
was opposed to an ad valorem duly
on lumber, -because it was impos
sible to have such a duty honestly collected.
The district which he had the honor to re
present was very largely interested in the
manufacture of lumber, and he did not
doubt that Congress was willing to place
American manufactures at least on inequal
ity with the Canadian. He gave notice
that at the proper time he would move to
amend the bill by increasing the duty on
pine, when manufactured into boards and
planks, from one dollar to three dollars per
thousand feet.
Mr, Wentworth Ill.) said that he looked
upon this as the most important bill that
would come before Congress this ses
sion. It was a sort of a twofold bill, carry
ing a great deal more in it than actually ap
peared on its face. It was a sort of treaty
made by the House without asking the
Senate to take the responsibility conferred
upon them by the Constitution. The House
was asked to consider whethifr there should
be another Reciprocity treaty. If so, he
knew no individual who could be better
trusted to draw it up :than the gentleman
from Vermont (Mr. Morrill). He took it
for granted that Congress was not going to
adjourn very soon, although he had heard
of a recess being talked of. Before Congress
adjourned it could see the practical opera
tion of doing without a treaty. If he could
have his own way about this he would have
the bill recommitted, with instructions to
omit all that appertains to the Reciprocity
treaty, and then in sixty or ninety days
Congress could see how the matter went on.
Mr. Spaulding Ohio) also spoke against
the bill, contending that there was no rea
son why any distinction should be made in
favor of the Canadians rather than in favor
of the people of any other foreign country.
There was as much reason, he held, to have
a special tariff with Cuba as with Canada.
The true course was to leave this matter Lo
the operations of the general tariff: but if
this bill was to pass, he gave notice that he
would offer various amendments to it.
Mr. Phelps ; Md.) also spoke against the
bill on the same general grounds as were
taken yesterday by his colleape (Nlr. Fran
cis Thomas:. He declared his concurrence
in the amendment suggested by his col
league, to strike out of the first section of
the bill all that imposed a duty on coal,
leaving that whole Subject to be regulated
by the tariff of 1.86-1.,
Mr. Hogan spoke in support of the bill.
He thought it time to inquire whether they
were not running protection into the ground,
and whether the great masses of the people
)ad not a right to some little protection for
their interests. Gentlemen here were de
manding increased duties—some on fish,
others on wool, others on coal, others ou
lumber; but nobody had proposed to guard
the interests of the consumers. As to coal,
more money bad been made by the coal melt
within the last few years than ever before.
Mr. Whaley referred the gentleman for a
refutation of that assertion to the statement
made yesterday by the eloquent gentleman
ofa Maryland. Mr. Francis Thomas.
Mr. Hogan replied that he was a repre
sentative in the American Congress,
advo
cated no local interests, but looked to the
interests of the whole people. He did not
propose to do anything which would have a
tendency to raise up great moneyed aris
tocracies in the country that would crowd
down the masses of the people after fighting
four years to put down another aristocracy
in another portion of the country. What
protection, he asked, was given to the poor
men who dug the coal? These men had
been compelled to rise en ;muse to secure
fair wages for their labor..
Mr. Strouse desired to correct the gentle
man. He represented the most extensive
coal fields in Pennsylvania. His county
(Schuylkill) had shipped to tide water, in
1865, between four and five millions of tons
of coal. All these stories about miners'
strikes were gross exaggerations. There
was no more liberal class of employers in
the world than the coal employers of Penn
sylvania. A majority of the works were
carried on. not by companies, bnt by indi
viduals. The wages of workmen at the
mines reached five dollars per day, The
objection be bad to this bill was that it
imposed too low a rate of duty on Canadian
coal. For his part he would legislate twice
for the American people rather than once
for a foreign people.
Mr. Hogan—So would I. Did you ever
know a laboring man in the coal fields of
Pennsylvania get rich digging coal?
' Mr. Strouse—Thousands of men.
Mr. Hogan declared he was glad to
hear it.
Mr. Griswold stated that there was no
class of laborers in i the country who have
been paid such exorbitant wages as coal
operators. They bad earned from five to,
ten and fifteen dollars per day.
Mr. Hogan—Good for them. lam glad
of it. But I rather take it that that has
risen from the enormous profits made by.
Ihe proprietors of coal mines. Proceeding
to discuss the question of wool, he was inter
rupted by
Mr. Grinnell, who asked why it should
not be protected by a duty of ten cents per
pound, when the hemp raised in the gentle-
man's district was protected by a duty of
forty dollars a ton?
Mr. Hogan replied that protection did not
benefit the people of Missouri, at they could
have no competition for their hemp.
Returning again to the question of iron,
Mr. Hogan said he had been told by an iron
dealer in New York the other day, that on
account of the high tariff there was no En
glish iron in the market.
Mr. Strouse contradicted that statement,
saying that iron was imported now not only
om England and Wales, but from Sweden
and Norway.
Mr. Griswold stated that a report would
be made in a few days from the Board
which had been investigating the industrial
interests of the country, which would prove
that on the capital invested in manufactures
in this country there bad been only an
average profit of two and a half per cent. for
the last twenty years.
Mr. Hogan thought that that reportwould
be a great curiosity, and he should like to
see it. He knew that thesestatements were
lugged 'out of manufacturers; that they
bated to tell they were going absolutely to
ruin; that they built splendid palaces and
extensive factories so as to induce people to
suppose they were getting- rich, and that
they were at last compelled to admit that
they had not made a red. [Laughter.]
Facts, however, were stubborn things.
These manufacturers had been growing
rich, had been fattening on the life blood of
the people, while the masses of the people
were not protected in their interests. He
warned the House of the danger of carrying
this thing too far.
Mr. Morrill said that he perceived by the
temper of the House that the present bill
was likely to be amended, possibly lost. He
bad been an earnest and ear y advocate of
the termination of thereciprucity treaty,but
he perceived that the House had advanced
very much beyond his sentiments. He had
desired the termination of this most unre
ciprocal of reciprocal treaties that the wit
of man ever devised, hoping that we might
be able to obtain all that was obtained
under it, and yet obtain no very con
siderable amount of revenue from our trade
with Canada. It seems, however, that the
House was not ready even for that. He
judged that the House was disposed either
to take no action at all, or to kill the bill, or
to racommit it. He proceeded to discuss
the various arguments made against the
bill, particularly by the representatives of
the coal interest, and remarked,as a curious
circumstance, that the Senators from the
States most interested in the coal trade had,
ithout exception,voted for the Reciprocity
treaty, which admitted Canadian coal free
of duty, while this bill imposed a duty of
fifty cents per ton. He did not see any
evidence of the bankruptcy of coal com
panies, of which the gentleman from Mary
land Mr. Francis Thomas had spoken so
elcquently.
Mr. Stevens stated that under the opera
tions of the Reciprocity treaty three com
panies that were employed in mining bitu
minous coal had failed.
Mr. Morrill admitted that that might be,
as some men would fail iu any business. It
was the lot of all business to furnish some
wrecks. He warned gentlemen that if this
bill did not pass,the animals—horses,sheep,
cattle and hogs—that are produced in
Canada would come in here free of duty
after the 17th of March. It would be un
fortunate for the country if the bill did not
pass in some form.
Mr. Brooks said that he would not have
risen to obtrude any remarks on the com
mittee on a subject that had been discussed
with an ability and ingenuity reminding
him of ancient times in the House, and de
monstrating that upon subjects which in
terest our own race there was as much
ability as of old, if he had not voted last
year with ethers for an abrogation of the
Reciprocity treaty, and if he did not see
now, from the tendencies and sympathies
of the House, that the moment the bill
passed from the hands of the Committee of
the Whole it would receive its final death
blow. He did not believe there would have
been thirty votes obtained in this House
last year for the abrogationtof the Recipro
city treaty with Canada, but on the explicit
understanding that some sort of reciprocity
in trade would be forthwith re-established
either through the treaty-making power, or
through the legislative power of the govern
ment; he had voted for its abrogation under
a high sense of duty. The people of the
United States4were at present ground down
by their interfial revenue taxation, and he
had not felt at liberty to let the Reciprocity
treaty stand without being at liberty to
make some sort of a bargain with the people
of Canada,that whatever our internal duties
might be, some should be levied either by
them or by us on our imports from them.
It was exclusively on that understanding
he had voted for the abrogation of the
treaty; but he now saw in the additional
claims of those who represented the lumber
interests and the coal and other interests of
this country that advantage was to be taken
of the present opportunity, and that never
again were we to have reciprocity with the
neighboring provinces. On the contrary,:
we were to impose as high duties as could
be imposed upon their products—higher, if
possible, than those now levied under the
general tariff bills. If that were to be so,
he tic. ver should so regret any vote that he
gave in his life as be would regret the vote
lie had gik , en last winter for the abrogation
of the treaty. He had given it with the un
derstanding that it should be substantially
renewed. He spoke of the people of the
krovinces as being connected with us by
indred and by blood, and as rightfully be
longing to us. He hoped to live to see the
day when, on this floor and in the Senate
chamber, seats would be occupied by Rep
resentatives and Senators from Canada, New
Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward's
Island, and all the other American depen
dencies of Great Britaina
Mr. Spaulding asked whether the last
House did not vote against a proposition for
a Board of Commissioners to negotiate a
new treaty.
Mr. Brooks replied that he believed it did;
but it was because it knew that Congress had
the power in its own bands to renew the
treaty by legislative action. It was on that
ground, and no other, that he had so voted,
and he regretted to see now that there was
no disposition to renew the treaty, but there
was a disposition to aggravate the obstacles
of a reciprocal trade. The gentleman from
Wisconsin (Mr. Eldridge) now before him,
iebrilied him at the time for the vote he
gave and says now that he had voted dif
ferently because he entertained no such
confidence in a coming Congress.
Mr. Brooks went on to say that the geo
graphical configuration of Canada, interlac
ing,interlooking and intertwining the whole
American contient, from Passamaquoddy,
in Maine to Puget's, Sound, on the Pacific,
rendered it impossible for the United States
to keep up the sane rates of duties as with
foreign countries. There was not power
enough in the government to collect the
higlrdnties which the general tariffituposed.
Therefore, common sense and self-interest
alike demanded the establishment of reci
procal trade with Canada.
The abrogation of .or interference with
sixty-four millions of,trada, was a serious
undertaking, and if : t were undertaken and
accomplished, there would, before a bun
dled days, come an outcry from the frontier
and from all over the country, fora renewal
of the trade. Speaking of the coal trade, he
asked the gentleman, from Pennsylvania
(Mr. Stevens) how many failures he said
there had been in that trade?
r. Stevens replied that he had knowledge
of two or three failures in the' Cumberland
region where companies had been revived,
and where the renewed capital had been
sunk. . r
' 1b r. Brooks said ninety out of a hundred
xnerehants failed, but that was -no reason of
a bconty of tradprs.
Kelley interposed a remark that thou
failures were failures of bituminous oil com
panies, and that no plea was set up on be
half anthracite companies.
Mr. Brooks replied that the best plea in
regard to anthracite coal companies was
the eloquent plea that came from the
masses of the people who, last winter, had
to pay from twelve to sixteen dollars a ton
for coal. As to the profits of the companies
he knew that for the last three or four years
capitalists in New York who had interests
in such companies received at least twenty
per cent. on theircapital so invested.
Mr. Brooks then showed that on six mil
lions of bushels of barley now imported
Irom Canada by our brewers, such as could
only be raised here in the northern latitudes
of Maine, Minnesota and Northern lowa,
a duty of 15 cents per bushel would be
levied after March 15th, and one very dam
aging to the brewers in New York, Phi
ladelphia and'elsewhere. Such a great tax
paying interest ought not to be thus sacri
ficed.
Mr. Blaine said: I am against this bill in
all its parts, clean through. It does not pro
tect any man's interests, and swaps all of
them off for Canadian interests. I believe
the House is against the bill. The business
has so lagged this session that if I can I will
expedite it by a single motion. I move to
strike out the enacting clause of this bill.
The question was taken by the tellers,
and resulted—yeas 53, nays 68. So the en
acting clause was not struck out.
The Committee then rose.
Mr. Washbnrne (III.) said the delegation
in Congress from his State had appointed a
committee of five of its members, consisting
of his colleagues, Harding, Moulton, Cul
lom, Thornton and himself, to proceed to
West Point to-morrow, to attend the fune
ral of one of the most gifted and noblest sons
of his own State. He alluded to Colonel
Theodore S. Bowers, the Adjutant General
to Lieutenant General Grant, who was yes
terday instantly killed while getting into
the cars at Garrison's Landing, opposite
West Point. Colonel Bowers was a man of
qualities so remarkable, of a patriotism so
pure, of a loyalty so devoted, of a character
so exalted, whose services rendered during
the war had been so great and so valuable
to the country that the members of both
Houses, in behalf of Illinois, had deemed' it
fitting and proper to pay a tribute to his
memory by being represented at his fune
ral. He would, therefore, ask leave - of ab
sence for his colleagues named and himself,
for the balance of the week.
The Speaker presented a message from
the President, covering a communication
from the Secretary of State, in reply to a
resolution of the Rouse adopted some days
since in reference to a vote of confidence
and of extraordinary powers, conferred by
the Congress of Mexico upon President
Juarez. Mr. Seward states briefly that it is
not deemed expedient to furnish the in
f- rmation asked. Referred to Committee on
Foreign Affairs.
On motion of Mr. Morrill, an act to de
clare the meaning of certain parts of the in
ternal Revenue act wss referred to the
Committee of Ways and Means. Ad
journed.
