The Teibwne; WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1530, M. Crane 8. ReAn, M. P, who, with Mr, Pell, visited this country last year, repeated yesterday toa meeting of English farmers his predletion that Ameriean farmers arecon- stantly Impoverlshing thelr lands by raising successive erops of wheat, and that in twen- ty-fivo years tho land will be so exhausted thint the nglish farmers have nothing to fear from Awmerican competition in the grain | markets of the world. I3ut what are the Brit- ish farmers to do in the twenty-five years during which the Americany enn afford to umdersell thewn ? They cannol turn to stock- raising, as Mr, Read ndmits that herois where the Amerleans have the greatest advaniage, and where tho Hritish farmer eannot even compete with them In twenty-five years. a— == s A DELRGATION of nnltsters appeared be- fore the Sennie Finance Comuittec yester- dlay to urge the passage of the bill imposing n speeltic tax of 25 cents per hushe! on barley wul barley-malt imported from Canada to this conntry, Instend of the 20-per cent ad valorem tax lmposed now, The lobby in favor of the passnge of the bill 1s- very strong, All the small brewers and many of the larger unes oppose the bill. A Tiususe reporter interviewed three of the principal brewers of this elty In reference to the bill yesterday, Mr, Seipp favors the bill beeause fr. MeAvoy was Indifferent, ¥ was opposed to the bill on prineiple, nnd becausa it would favor monop- oly to the injury of small brewers. B. G, Anvorn & Co,, the most extensive coffee iouse In the United States, and which nt ong time asplred to control that branch of buglness in this country, failed yesterday with linbilities variously estimated at from §750,000 to 81,000,000, The fallure is attrib- uted to the recent shrinkage in the value of coffee. Mr. Arnold, the head of tho firm, says the firm will be abR§o pay its creditors 100 cents on tho dollar if given thmne, and, ns ho is reputed to own some valuable stocks and n large quantity of real estate, his state- ment s credited. The fallure, it s feared, will affect several firms of New York and Philadetphis, where most of the creditors reside, ‘Tut: London press accounts for the largo accessions to the Irish Land League by say- g that those who refuse to joln ure *Boy- cotted.” "And this notwitistanding that the istand has an immense garrlson, and 18 in o virtunl state of siege.

A REVIEW OF YUSTENDAY'S LONG DEUATE IN THE HUUSE, Spectal Diapaten to The Chicago Tribunes Wasmizaroy, I C,, Dee, 7,—Tho Ilouse of Representatives to-day resumed its work at the point where it wns lnid down last ses- sion. 1alf an hour only befors adjourn- ment at tho last session filibustering ceased, ‘The second of the present segsion fHibustering. begun, The point at Issue was the attempt of the Democrats to pass, at first without any considerable debate, subsequently with as much dehate as the Republieans desired, the . - Morgan resolution relative to the Electoral count which pnssed the Senate at the last sesslon. This resolutlon reached the House, was debnted at Jongth; wasregisted by the Ra- publicans totheextremity of filibusterieg,and, - finnlly, s a mnkeshaft, was postponed to be considered the first day ot the session, subject was ealled up yesterday, but an ad- Jourmmnent was had upon the notico of death, during the recess, of a member from New Ltampshire, Mr, Farl THE BESOLUTION, in substance, provides that u -joint rule to take the place of the twenty-second - joint rule, which, it Is admitted,Is o longer in foree, for the cotnting of votes for President and Viee-President, shall be adopted. ‘I'ne - proposed Joint rule itself pro- vides that, In case of dual returns from any Siate, the concurrent action of the two louses shall be necessary to de- termine which votes shall Le counted or ree Jeeted, <T'his Jolnt resolution passed the Sen- ate after considerable debate, the 1®hublic- ans opposing It. 1t I8 even more strenuously resisted in the louse, The theory of the Republicans is that this rule was devised by the Democrats ns a means of making It casler to count In tho, Democratic Presiden- tinl candidate, or to throw the election into the Ilouse of Representutives had the clecs tion been elose. The Republleans opposethe resolution substuntially for TIE FOLLOWING REASONS: 1. Because it undertukes to settle, by a rulo of thu two Houses (which lssimply a by-law to govern their own procedure), constitutional rlghts, and fmposes constitutional dutics. Tho only powor of the two Houses to make rules ls to makgthem for tholr own procedure, This lmitatson of power does not extend to noy-, thing outside, much less to o construction of the Constitution. The anly othor modu of pros ceeding known to the Houso s by leglstation, . Even admitting that tho Electorut count can bo conducted by such a rule, this rule fn itsolf {8 wrong, bocnuse it provides subatantinlly .uot only that the two Houses mmy clect tho Prosle dent, but that cithor llouso may defeat tho ro- sult of a Prusldontiul viection, and, us tho oleos tlon would thon devolve upon the House of Rop- resentutives, that rule substuntiully gives to the Houso of Represontatives tho powor of elocting tho President. THF: WEPUBLICANS indieato tholr purpose to debate this fne definitly, and, when the debate shall elose, to resort to every known expedient of purlla- mentary law (which means fillbustering) to defeat tho adoptiop of the rule, aud they will probably succeed, Sowwe of the Democrats, even, nro gnld not “to be In accord with the principles’ of tha rule, and Mr, MeLean, of AMnrylang, practieally indiented that in his brief speech to-day, publicans may forco a-politieal discussion fn- cldental to the debate upon the resolution, and some bad blood may be accasloned by referenca to the results of the eampalyn, A PROMINENT DEMOCKATIC MENBER soid that tho Republicans might cause so mueh bad blood ns to creato troublo in cons neetlon with the countiug of the Electoral vote tor Garflell, but .th . debate - ltself showed that, whatever might bg the reanlt of the attempt now to adopt this new rule,* there would be opposition on the partof many Southern Democrats, at least to any attempts to mnke trouble ju connection with the Electoral count.
