Mr. SCHENCS explained the bill by
Cating that although the Committee on

It was impossible lb do so in justice to
the sashimi Interests of the country,
whose representatives same befall

confined to those In which changes were
proposed, either in rates or in mode of
imposing duty. Dutiable articles not
mentioned in the bill were to be regard
as not pi be interfered.with, but as
being governed by the present law. .

fore afforded principally to mum
factured articles. The bill extended
at least a little more advantage to the
agricultural interests of thecountry than
any prevloua tariff had done. But he did
not wish to be drawn lutes discussion of
the merits of the bill, least of all of any
particular provision in it. All that would
come up at the proper time, when the
House came to cmaider the bill In detail.
Mr. ALLISON. is • member of the
Committee on Ways and Means, Mug,
gested the consideration of the bill be
post paned at least two weeks. The bill
affected every material interest obits
country, so far as those interests could be
affected by a tariff for revenue or pro
teedcm.
The MI as presented by the chairman.
of the Committee on Ways and Means,
changed the value of property in this
country to the extent of not less then
150,000,000. Tberatbre, it was important
the representatives of the people should
have time and opportunity to examine
the hill before it. discussion was entered
upon. He would - Instance a - few
changes made by the bill. For example,
In the article of. iron the classification
on the statute books was entirely changed
And the effect of the chum . . of Mier was
to Increase the protection to Iron manu
facturers. Is addition to this, there was
an Increased duty on many articles of
manufactured Iron that entered largely
into the consumption of the country.
These features of the bill should be care.
folly examined. The bill also changed
the claw:ideation of steel, upon some arti
cles increasing the duty, while decreas
ing it upon others. It almo it made a
complete change In the classification
of sugar, en article yielding the largest
revenue of any In the. country. He
believed that islamalf&MA rt vi
tr i chan
ged in thelnierostet -i ts , Mlleff
toe general rates of duty were reduced
by the bill. That he agreed to. But
whilst this bill reduced the duty on
sugar, It also Increased the protection of
sugar refiners. There had also been s
complete revision In the matter of drugs .
It was true, as stated by the Chairman of
the Committee, that the bill placed upon
the free liat . a large number of articles
not before on it, but the effect was
mainly hi the Interest of protection
and not in the Interest of revenue.
For Instance, there were many articles
placed noon the free list which were ele
ments in the manufactures of the coun
try; and where • correlmondlng reduc
tion had not been made upon articles
into which they entered, and there were
other articles upon which a correspond
ing reduction had been made. There
was nothing In the hill In reference to
.the abolition or reduction of the
duty on coal. There wee nothing
in - reference to - • the abolition" - or
reduction of the duty on salt.
There were other articles not affected by
the bill, which new bear a high rate of
duty. in his jundgment the bill was
constructed In the interest of protection,
rather than in- the Interest of revenue..
It was in the Interest of that elms ofpeo
ple who would be able to make large
profits . out of manufactures and not in the
interest of the consumers. For these
reasons he desired that ample opportu
nity should be given the House to ex.
=Mb the bill before the dissuasion com
menced.
Mr. SCHENCK expressed regret that
his colleague on the committee bad enter.
ed upon a general debate on the bill at
this time. HIE colleague seemed to Ma- I
understand theaenerat character, temper
and tendency of the hill, which he (Mr.
Schenck) could. only understand by re.
membering that colleague had been I
absent from the city engaged to another
business. So far as lie (Mr. Schenck) '
knew, the members of the committee
bad endeavored tokeep in mind three
things, revenue, protection and cOn
aumption. -

: Mr. WOOD spoke on the same subject.,
complimenting Mr. Dawesfor his manli-

Me. extravagance in the executive de
partment proper, with its four Brigadier
Generals acting as clerks and ushers. •
Mr. STILES brought up the. question
of the gold conspiracy, referring to the
testimony of Jae. Flak, Jr., as published'
In the New York Tribune, and remark
ing that the integrity of the President
was involved In the question.
Mr DAWES made the point of order

order, and when Mr. Stiles resumed the

Mr. RANDALL remarked the chair

The Chairman immediately ruled Mr.
Randall out of order, and was compelled
to repeat the ruling by a remark of Mr.
Randall that the sputter ought to select I
a better chairman of the Committee of
the Whole. (Laughter.)
Mr. STILES asked leave to print his
remarks, but Mr. Washbrirne, of Wis
