Wabhihtok, Dec. 12. Smuts,
There was but little morning busi
ness bo the . tarin bill was quiciqy
taken Up, the question being on the
amendment offered by Mr. .Jones, -of
Atkanpas, to admit hoop or band iron
(ootton ties, etc,) free of duty, in
stead Of iazing it two-tenths ot-one
cent per pound additional, j Q ' -'
Mr. ;Berry said, that the proposed
tai 'illustrated the absolute injustice
of , the whole protectire i lea running
through the Senate substitute. The
article; in question was . not manufae
tured in the United : States, hit the
tax were removed that fact would not
injure! a xf business interest in the
United S tates. It was a mere propo
sition j to force the farmera of the
oountry to pay 108 per cent duty on
the vfclue of the Article. - J
Mr. ! Hisoock, t a member of the
finance r committee, avowed his own
understanding, that the substitute
was a political measure. The division
between jthe parties upon the tariff
was a bolitical division." The repub
lican Senators on the finance commit
tee had prepared fa substitute from
the republican standpoint, illustrating
by it the p'rineiplea of their party.
The tariff discussion was temporarily
interrupted, and on motion of Mr.
Hale, the House bill makin or appro
priation for the contingent fund of
the House was passed. . " 1
The presiding offioer at 2 o clock
presented 'as special , order for "that
hour, the Union, Pacific funding bill,
but as

he wouldj move every morning to take
up his resolution 'for. consideration in

said that the increase was the -product
of the labor of white' men, white
women and . white children. : Black

ferring
to the suggestion ' that the
cotton tie industry might be success
fullv prosecuted in Alabama he said
that there was no doubt of that, but
! that be found two classes of people
in his State, one class prospering and
the Other .class continueally going
do rn; one .learning money by tariffs
or ( independently of tariffs and the
other-losinir money by the drain. It
was his duty as s legislator to relieve
those industries first; to try to build
up industries that need help before
trying to make men richer who now
fOt rich in spite of competition from
enusylvahia or England. That was
the situation of the iron industry in
Alabama. I It did not need tariff leg
illation. :He besought the Senate m
behalf of (the great cotton industry
not to impose higher burden ' upon it
than now existed but to reduce suon
burdens. But here was a bill, he
said; that! raised the duty on rootton
ties 00 per cent. .v
, Mr. Call argued that the tax on
cotton ties came within the constitn
I tional inhibition , of levying Ux on
i exports. Finally the amendment was
voted on and was rejected by a Btnct
party rote -yeas 18, nays 23. Mr
Coke mide an amendment reducing
the duxy on cotton ties to 35 per cent
ad 1 valorem. ' The clause in- the
substitute V reads : "Provided that
hoop R br band iron, pr- hoop
or. band steel, cut to lengths, or
wholly tr partially manufactured into
hoops or ties for baling purposes, bar
rel hoops of iron or steel, and hoop
or band iron, or hoop or band steel

lr. Oitesj of Alabama, offered an
amendment providing for tha refund

Mr. Allen of Mississippi, moved to
amend the amendment by. proposing
that the money so refunded shall be
turned into a common' school j fund.
In the course of ; some f humorous re
marks upon the Various' propositions

Mr. Allen said that if those who res
cued the Union during the war kept
