bnt offered to yield to the sent tor from
Kentucky, Mr. Lindsay, Who desired
to address the senate. lie was Allowed
to do so, bnt with the undemanding
that he would have no right to resume
the floor at the conclusion of Mr Liti l
say's speech. Mr. Lindsay then ad
dressed the senate in advocacy of the
bill.
He opened with a declaration that it
was Infinitely preferable to have tbt
pending bill passed, with or without
amendments, than to have the txisting
tarilf law contii ued iu force. It was
therefore the duly of DtmoCTAtid sena
tors to pris the pen ling bill to a final
Vote, and to remove the uncertainty
which now weighed so bttfily upon
the bueinees interests of the country.
If congress took no decided step on the
