CHRISTMAS MONEY. Mr. Allison, from the committee on appro- priations, reported back the House joint reso- lution for the pay of congressional officers, clerks, and employes on the 20th of December, and it was passed. On motion of Mr. Manderson, the House bill to authorize the construction of a bridge across the Missouri river in Iowa and Nebi was passed with amendments, TOBACCO CLAUSES OF THE TARIFF BILL. The tariff bill was then taken up, beginning with schedule F, relating to tobacco and cigars. No amendment was offered to the first two paragraphs, 226 and 227. Mr. Pasco moved to amend paragraph 228 by inserting 40 cents instead of 25 cents per and, 80 as to read: “All other tobacco in fea , Unmanufactured and not stemmed, 20 ae pound; if stemmed, 40 cents per After discussion the amendment was rejected. Paragraph 226 was gone back to—Mr. Vance moving to amend it by striking out $8.50 per pound and inserting $2.50, and 25 per cent ad valorem, 80 as to make it read: ‘igars, cigar- ettes, and cheroots of all kinds, $2.50 per pound, and 25 per cent ad valorem.” After a short discussion the amendment was rejected—yeas 18, nays 25. ir. Vance called attention to paragraph 227, relating to leaf tobacco suitable for wrappers, and stated that the proposed change from ex- isting law would increase the revenue over two million dollars. He asked Mr. Aldrich whether he was satisfied that the change would very largely increase the revenue. ir. Aldrich—I am not; and I am satisfied that the statement of the so-called expert of the House of Representatives is very wide of the mark. age earri shall offer no amendment to e paragray No asain was offered to any other of the tobacco and cigar paragraphs, and sched- ule G was reached relating to provisions, &.

He wanted a duty on it of 3 cents a pound. ir, Vance read some amusing extracts from the testimony of this witness, One of the vestige 3 (rears made by Mr. Vance was the pleading of the witness that the duty would be a very small thing for the public, but that “it would be a big thing for us.” He commended this point in political economy to the Senator from Connecticut (Mr. Hawley), as it sustained that Senator's argument yester- day about salt.
