Mr. Plumb Estimates a Deficiency of One Hundred and Fifty Million. —— THE ATKINSON BILL IN THE HOUSE. oo SENATE. Tho House bill to set apart a certain tract of land (on which the big trees stand) in Cali- fornia as a public park was passed without amendment, THE RIVER AND HARBOR BILL PASSED. The conference report on the river and harbor appropriation bill was taken up and agreed to, without discussion and without a yea and nay vote. TARIFF BILL AMENDMENTS, The tariff bill was taken up—the debate on the bill and amendments to be limited to thirty minutes for any Senator on any one subject, Changes or amendments in the bill reported by Mr, Aldrich from the finance committee were made as follows: Adding to paragraph 59 the words “and white paint containing zinc, but not containing fead.” Making the duty on phophorous 67) 30 per cent ad valorem instead per pound. Inserting in paragraph 75 (relating to medi- cinal preparations) the words “or in the Siok rateaac of which alcohol is used.” jaking paragraph 132 read “boiler plates of Me or steel and other plate iron not thinner,” C. Making paragraph 218 read “white pine shingles 20 cents per thousand; all others 30 cents per thousand. Making paragraph 221 read “chair cane or reeds, wrought or manufactured from rattans or reeds; and whether round, square or in any other shape.” ‘MR. PLUMB'S PROPOSED TAX ON SPIRITS, Mr. Plumb offered the amendment of which he had given notice on the 30th of August, im- Posing a tax of €1.25 per gallon on distilled spirits, He said that he offered it because he believed that it would be necessary to have the additional revenue which would be thus pro- vided ($21,508,000) to meet the requirements of the government. He was not unmindful of the fact that that question had been discussed from an entirely diflerent standpoint, and that very elaborate efforts had been made to show that there would be no deficiency. In fact he was bound to presume that, when the tariff Dill passed the House of Kepresentatives, those who fashioned it and who were responsible for it believed that, under it, the necessary revenues would be collected. THE REDUCTION OF REVENUE, which the bill (as it passed the House) would effect, had been estimated at $71,000,000. By the restoration of the tobacco tux in the Sen- ate that reduction had been dimi1 ed to $60,. 000,000—qualified by the somewhat ambiguous statement from the finance committee that if importations were kept up on the present seale (notwithstanding the increase of duties) the reduction of revenue would be only about 320,000,000. SUMMING UP THE APPROPRIATIOYS. Mr. Plumb went on to give a resume of the #ppropriations for the year and to argue that- the appropriations for future years would not fall short of those for this year and would, in regard to pensions, &c., largely exceed them. He estimated the cost under the new pension bill at $50,000,000 at least. There wouid bo added to the list of pensioners, widows and de- pendent t parents to the amount ‘of at least $10,000,000. And there would be added, he believed, (paragraph of 10 cents AT Least 400,000 soxpii In fact he should be greatly surprised if in the next three years the payment on acconnt of that law would not amount to $60,000,000 a year. Mr. Berry asked Mr. Plumb how many appli- cations had already been received under the new pension law, Mr. Plamb gave the number at over 400,000, Mr. Berry recalled the fact that Mr. Davis (who nad charge of that — bill) had said that he was satisfied that not more than 200,000 names would be added to the pension list under it. Mr. Cockrell. There will be between 600,000 and 700,000. Mr. Piumb said that he had no doubt that there would be from 700,000 to 800,000 applica- tions under that Jaw. and that the appropria- tion under it would amount to at least 360,000,- 000 a year within the next three or four years. HE ESTIMATES A $150,000,000 DEFICIENCY. He continued his summary of appropriations, and said there would have to be added to them the amount that would be required under the direct tax bili, for the French spoliation claims, for the international fair and under the elec- tion law. He thus estimated the expenditures of the government at $450,000,000 and its rev- ennes at €400,000,000, and suid thata deficit was justassuro as the rising of the sun. If his amend- ment was incorporated in the tariff bill it would add €21,500,000 to the revenue. WHY MR. WILSON OPPOSED THE AMENDMENT. Mr. Wilson (Iowa) opposed the amendment on the ground that it would put $35,000,000 into the pockets of the men who owned the 100,600,000 gallons of distilled spirits now on hand. and also on the ground that it would make the liquor business an important ele- ment in the financial system of the govern- ment. Mr, Gorman said that he would vote against the amendment, because he did not believe that at this stage of the proceedings it was proper to put an increased tax on whisky. And yet he believed with Mr. Plumb, that under the opera- tion of the tariff bill there would be within two years a deficit in the Trexsury. He thought a deficit inevitable, but he believed that it would be much better to wait at least a year before attempting to increase internal revenue taxes, €MR. DAWES DITTO, Mr. Dawes also opposed tho amendment, be- cause the increased tax would not apply to whisky on hand, which would be thus appre- ciated in price to the amount of 35 cents a gallon, and also because he would not admit, by implication, that the pending bill would result in a deficit. Mr. Plumb modified his amendment by mak- ing 1t apply to all whisky hereafter produced or withdrawn from bond. Mr. Aldrich op; 1d the amendment because he did not think it at all necessary that there should be any increase of revenue. Ho. was satisfied, from the ‘clear and conclusive dtate- ment made by the chairman of the committee on a ‘tions a ae Sars sides, 8 tbe Tevennes would be amply it to meet all expenditures. Mr. rell said he would vote against the amendment because he thought ‘the tax proposed too high. ‘TRE AMENDMENT REJECTED. The vote was taken and the amendment was rejected—yeas 17, nays 39—as follows: Col- @nties on all sugars abore No. 13, Dutch | standard, { Mr. Sherman argued against the amendment and in favor of the House a, which would allow all sugars under No. 16, Dutch standard (including good qualities of brown sugar largely used by the people, to come in free of duty, AMENDMENTS AGREED 10.

The next voto was on the Senate amendment to the same paragraph, increasing the duty on sugars above No. 16 six-tonths of one cent per ae instead of four.tenths (as in the House ill). Mr. Allison opposed the committee amend- ment and favored the House proposition. The amendment was agreed to—yeas, 29; nays, 23. ‘MR, QUAY'S AMENDMENT. Mr. Quay offered the amendment proposed by him on tho Ist of August, fixing the dutics between No. 13 and No. 16 at three-tenths of a cent per pound; between No. 16 and No. 20 at six-tenths, and above No, 20 at one cent, ‘MR. STEWART FOR PROTECTION. Mr. Stewart occupied his thirty minutes with aspeece in laudation of a high protective tariff system, Mr. Manderson addressed himself to Mr. Quay’s amendment, which he moved to amend by putting the proposed duty of one cent a pound on all sugars above No, 20 at 8-10 cent a ponnd instead of one cent. He illustrated his remarks by specimens of the yarious grades of sugars from No. 13 up to No. 20, Mr. Quay modified his amendment as sug- gested by Mr. Manderson. Mr. Gorman opposed the amendment as in the interest of sugar refineries, giving them an absolute monopoly. Mr. Vest also opposed it. The refiners had now, he said, all that they wanted. They had triumphed by the votes taken today and which put into their pockets millions and millions of dollars, THE AMENDMENT REJECTED. Mr. Quay’s amendment was rejected without the yeas and nays. The proviso in paragraph 223, that in case of anexport duty imposed by any country the sugars from that county shail be subject to the duties under existing law, gave rise to an informal discussion the course of which Mr. stated that would exclude sugars from Cuba and Porto Rico, where there was an export duty of one-sixth cent a pound, and that export duty was pledged for a por- tion of the debt of Cuba, so that there would be difficulity and complication in the matter, and Mr. Carlisle gave it as his opinion that the provision was objectionable in any form. He could not see how the thing would operate to have some sugar admitted free and some sugar subject to duty. ‘The difficulty was solved by Mr. Aldrich on behalf of the committee withdrawing the pro- viso, Mr. Quay moved to include sugars made from maize stems (‘Better known as corn stalks,” Mr. Allison said) among the sugars for which a bounty of two cents a poand is to be paid. Rejected. MAPLE SUGAR. The next question was on the finance com- mittee’s amendment to include maple sugar among those for which a bounty is to be paid. Mr. Edmunds advocated the amendment, and claimed that maple sugar fell within the samo Policy and the same justice as other sugars. it was o business of small farmers. Mr. Blair also advocated it, and mentioned the annual product of maple sugar as fifty million pounds. OPPORED TO ALL SUGAR BOUNTIES, Mr. Carlisle declared himself opposed to all sugar bounties and, therefore, opposod to their extension to maple sugar. No small farmer, he deciared, would ever receive a cent of bounty for maple sugar, be- cause, under the bill, no bounty would bo paid unless the product by one per- son was at least 500 pounds, and he did not suppose that at that any farmer in the country progaced so much maple sugar, unless it might e in Vermont. Mr. Edmunds assured Mr. Carlisle that in the state of Vermont there” were a thousand farmers who produced more than 500 pounds of maple sugar annually, Mr. Carlisle added, ax another objection to paying a bounty on maple sugar, that cane sugar and bect sugar on which the bounty bad been already paid, would be used to make ane sugar, so that that product would sogn be largely increased. Mr. Aldrich asked Mr. Carlisle, in allusion to his remark about the increused product of maple sugar, how long ho supposed it took for ae trees to produce sap, Carlisle supposed that it would not take more than two or three weeks under a bounty clause, [Laughter.} The amendment was agreed to—yeas 30, nays 25, AMENDMENTS ADOPTED, All the other amendments referring to maple sugar were agreed to, and the time for filing notices in connection with claims for bount; was fixed as prior to July 1 (instead of. Sanuary) of each year. HOUSE, Prior to the reading of the journal Mr. An- derson (Kan.) raised the point that there was no quorum present. The effort of the Speaker pro tem, to counta quorum proving unavail- ing a call of the House wasordered, The call disclosed the presence of 156 members, and the sergeant-at-arms was dispatched after the absentees. THE MAINE DELEGATION. Mr, Cummings (N.Y.) raised a laugh by the request that the Maine delegation be excused on account of political illness, {Every member of this delegation is absent.] A quorum having appeared further proceed- ings under the call were dispensed with and the journal of Saturday's proceedings was read and approved. BILLS PASSED. On motion of Mr. Crain (Tex.) a bill was passed to create a port of entry at Eagle Pass, ‘Tex, instead of at Indianda, Tex. e On motion of Mr. Evans (Tenn.) a joint reso- lution was passed granting the use of a portion of the United States military reservation at Chattanooga, Tenn., for a public park, DISTRICT Day. The foor was then accorded to the com- mittee on the District of Columbia, the pend- ing question being one to recommit the Atkin- son bill with instructions to it back with au amendment requiring the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad Company to remove its depot in Washington to the intersection of Maryland — a avenues. a3 subsequent proceedi: reported A eadleane ——_-+9e—______ Not Offered the Spanish Mission.
