From Our Speetut Correapondent, Wasninaton, D, C,, Jun, 13.—The vote on tha + Question of froo salt, which resulted in a tic, was got afalr test; but It had some interesting feat- ttros, The threo Chicago members, for Instance, were all opposed to tnking off tha tax, and ureso eeported in tha Congresstunal Record. 1 asked one of tho members whcthor he thought thoy + ,fepresented In this respect the wishes of their constituents, He seemed to be n little nervous, but denied that the vote wis a teat or that ho so + regarded it. .Thero wore a good many reasons, *? fe sald,‘ for voting aginst the resolution. It came from tho Demourutic side; It was Intended 880 firebrand; {t had not been maturely consid- ered; its consideration Just before the Prestden- . Ual elcotion was untimely; its passage would + Preolpitate tho wholo tariff question in Con- ‘ogress, and so on, These facts hud much to do (the member sald) with tho large negative vote. ; Tbave np doubt that this !s strlatly true; nor * fave any, on tho other. hand, that two at least - of the Chicago membcra—and possibly three— are proteotionists on principle, and would oppose the remission of the duty on salt, not because * thoy favor it speoitically, but bociuse there nro other and greater intcrosts which thoy aro un- willing to see touched. ‘The experionce in tho caso of é FREE QUININE : bag alarmed the Protoctionist members not a ttle, Thoy feel as if the cause had been wenk- ened by it, Quinine, which was selling for $3.75 per ounco a year ago, now sells for $2; and no- body has been ruined or emburrassed, Tho tax on this article was tho cap-sheaf of tho whole tari® fabric.
