Mr. Dawes on Mr. Morrill’s Resolution BILL DAY IN THE HOUSE. ————— ‘The Senate. ‘Mr. Morrill presented the credentials of Senator Edmunds for the full term, commencing March 4, 1887. Placed on file. Among the num-rous bills introduced andzre- ferred were the following: By Mr. Cullom: Toamend the Revised Statutes in relation to the immediate transportation of bonded goods. Also, to revise the rates of pay of certain employes in the Government Printing Omfice. By Mr. Bowen: Providing a new basis for the cireulation of national banks.

Ingalls, trom the committee on the District of Columbia, reported a Dill regulating the use of the avenues, streets, alleys and reservations of the city of Washington.’ Calendar, Mr. Morrill offered a resolution instructing the committee on finance to examine as to the expedt- eney of some practical measure for the main- tenance of the system of national banks with ample security and without additional cost to the government, Referred to the committee on finance. “On motion of Mr. Hoar, the electoral count: bill, as received from the House, was laid on the table, and ordered printed.

MR. DAWES ON MR. MORRILL'S TARIFF RESOLUTIO? ‘The Senate then, at 12:50, resumed considera- tion of Mr. Morrfll’s resolution declaring the promise of making a proper revision of the tariff at the present session obviously hopeless and impracticable, and Mr. Dawes proceeded to ad- dress the Seniite on that subject. It had alvw: Deen the policy, he sald, of both political part whenever the revenue exceeded the expenditures of the government, to make efforts, by the reduc- Uon of customs duties and internal taxes, to bring them together. Much was heard, he said, about] taxing raw materials, and the ery was ratscd in certain quarters, as if 1t was something new, that the great panacea for all tariff trouble was to make raw materials free. He reminded Senators that the tariff law of 1872 (which received the vote of Mr. Beck in the House) contained more than 180 different articles put on the free ist, almost all of them raw materials. He invoked an inspection of that statute by those who cried out that the present need was the reinoval of war taxes on raw materials. He had yet to see thi man who would not favor placing on the free list such raw materials as Were not produced in this country. House of Representatives. Under the call of states the following bills and resolutions were introduced in the House and re- ferred: By Mr. Phelps (N. J.)—Directing the Secretary of War toiease to the National Hotel company, of New Jersey, a tract of land at Sandy Hook for the purpose of Constructing thereon two large hotels— one for families and permanent, visitors and the other for the use of excursionists.

Mr. Mul- Taney sald the action of the congress relative to the trades unions and the knights of labor was especially important. “One result of our action,” he said, “ls that no’ knight of labor card will be recognized by any trades unton represented at Co- lumbus. If a man wants to work at a union trade he must belong to the union first, and then he can go into everything else he sees fit.” Being asked about the political movement, Mr, Mulraney ex- pressed himself as decidedly opposed to any thind party movement, and said that many of the dele tes agreed with him. “The labor people,’’ sald e, “with their widely divergent views on the tariff, on money and every other question, cannot be united in one economic poltcal party.” “Was there any attempt made to secre & Tes0- lution in favor of the anarchists?” “When the congress reached the head of resolu- ‘tions, a communication was read from the Central Labor Union of Chicago, which wound up with resolutions condemning the verdict as an assault on free speech. I. moved its reference to the com. mittee on resolutions. ‘The committee, instead of reporting the anarchist resolutions back, ved. this’—and here Mr. Mulraney produced the fol- wing: “Resolved, That it is the opinion of this body that the great trades of America are dependent on law and order for continued existence and sup- Port. While we deem it unwise for us to interfere ‘With the administration of justice, we are free to express the hope that the law will ‘of itself grant every opportunity of defense to any who may have reasons to complain.” “When this was Tead,” sald Mr, Mulraney, “a delegate Jumped up and moved to ‘add—‘and this applies to the seven condemned anarchists in Chi- cago.’ Of course there was uo objection to the resolution applying to any one, and the aimend- ment was adopted.
