e THE OMAHA DAILY BEE o — THIRTEENTH YEAR. “A DAY OF DISCUSSION. The Congress _of lflnuilcfl States Unusually Talkative Yesterday, Tho Senate Consumes ‘the Day on the Education Bill, Which Finally Passes that Body by a Vote of 38 to 12. Seventy-Seven Millions Appro- priated for Eight Years. The House Has Quite a Talk on the Wool puestion. A Motion to Restore the Duty of 1867 Fails by 119 to 120, FORTY-EIGHTH CONGRESS, SENATE, WasuiNeron, April. 7. — After the transaction of unimportant business the senate resumed consideration of the education bill, . Mr. Brown (dem., Ga.) spoke in its support in answer to the opposing ar- gument rmade Mr. Morgan (dem., Ala.). Mr. VNorhees (dem., Ind.) followed Brown, strongly advocating tho measure. He thought it was too late in the day to protest against national aid to state edu- «cation since not only had hundreds of millions of acres of lands been given to separate states for education, but $600,- 000,000 in cash had been exponded by the national government in the establish- ment and support of freedman’s schools -and $400,000 for the education of Indian children. At the conclusion of Voorhees' re- marks, Hoar's firat amendment was then taken up, providing that the amount to be distributed the first year be $7,000,000 the second year $10,000,000, third year, $15,000,000, and then diminish at the rato of $2,000,000 a year till the expira- tion of the 8th year, whenjthe appropria- tion should cease. ~ Agreed to, yeas 38, nays 2. Another amendment of Hoar's was agreed to, providiug that an equal oppor- tunity of education bo given to all the children of the state. An amendment was offered by Mr. Sherman, (rep. O.), providing that the money shall be used only for common schools, not sectarian in character. Mr. Morgan (dem., IlL.) inquired if this provision aimed at Catholics. Mz, Sherman replied that it was not aimed at Catholios, Mothodists or Pres- byterians especially, but it was his idea that the public money should be disbursed only for non-sectarian schools. He be- lieved the intelligent Catholics of the country were coming to the conclusion that many of their ideas about common schools were erroneous. The amendment agreed to—yeas 32, nays 72, The first of the amendments heretofore offered by Harrison was taken up. It g:ovidau that no states shall receive any mefits of the act until the governor of the state shall file with the secretary of the interior a statement showing the at- tendance at the schools and the expendi- ture for them. Mr. Williams (dem., Ala.)opposed the amendment, Mr. Morgan said there was a provision in the constitution of Alabama that pro- hibited the state from using the principal of any money. It could only use the in- terest. In reply to a suggestion from Mr. Logan (rep., 11l.) regarding new issues, Mr. Morgan said he didn’t care for new issues; the old issues were good enough for him. He (Morgan) was not a presi- dential candidate. Mr. Butler (dem., 8. C.) suggested that it was not at all impossible that the sec- retary of the interior might use this money as a corruption fund. It had been done .before and would be done again, if this bill passed; he didn't care if that officer was a domocrat or repub- lican. Mr. Plumb (rep., Kas.) thought the danger greater that the governor might use the money for political purposes on his own account or for the benefit of his owa political party. Mr. Harrison (rep., Ind.).remarked that Beck had on another day, speaking for his party, said *‘We never trust men twice,” Harrison said *‘That might do for the party of the senator, but he said on this side of the chamber we do trust men twice. . If we didn’t it might not be possible for us to be on friendly rela- tions with some senators on the other side of the chamber.” Mr. Morgan added: *‘Nor your own party either,” Several senators protested against poli- tics being brought into the discussion of this humanitarian question, Mr. Harrison’s amendment was finally to. The motion of Logan was agreed to, striking out the section which permitted states having less than 5 per cent of il- literacy to use money for normal schools or industrial education, number of sinendments were offered y Harrison and agreed to. The bill being completed as in com- mittee of the whole, it was reported to the senate, read threo times and passed by the following vote: Yeas— Blair, Brown, Colquitt, Conger, Collum, Dawea, Dolph, Edmunds, Frye, Gurland, George, l&ampmn, Harrison, Hoar, Jackeon, dJonas, Jones (Fla.), Kenna, Logan, McMillan, Anderson, Miller (N.

On motion of Mr, Jordan (rep., Or.) the joint resolution was passed directing the secretary of reports of the United States supreme court and circuit and distriot courta, two complete sets of the revised statutes and sundry other public documents, Mt. Liedler (dem., N. J.) introduced a bill to enable the attorney general to col- lect statistics in relation to criminals and convict labor. .

Mr. Randall (dem., Pa.), from the com- mittee on rules, reported a resolution set- ting apart April 8th and May 13th for the consideration of bills reported by the committee on torricories, not to include bills for the creation of new territories or the admission of new states. Adopted. Mr. Stockslager (dem., Ind.) moved to suspend the rules and adopt a resolution to make bills for the erection of public buildings, a continuing special order for April, There were fifty-four such bills before the house, and unless this was done, none of them conld be passed. Me, Holman (dem., Ind.) opposed the motion. Only five of the thirteen appro- priation bills were passed, not to mention the tariff and bills to forfeit rail- road land grants, After further dis- cussion, the motion was agreed to—162 to 77. Mr. Morrison (dem., IIL) called atten- tion to tho fact that when the tariff com- mission ended its eight months' exercises, it fixed the duty on wool, as it was in the law to-day. Its report was approved by the gentlemen on the other side, and their protective friends, few in number, on his, by the senate and by a confer- ence. Presently these gentlemen would undo their work and restore the duty to the rate at which it stood before the pass- agoe of the tariff bill. What estimate was to be made on their professions, he left to the country to say;whatever might be thedifferent views of the question, the protective countries and duty and wool could be justly and rightly considered apart from the duty on woolen goods, into which wool entered as a large part. A bill had been reperted to the house on the general subject of the tariff, as well as on rates of wool and woolen goods. He would ask the house on Tuesday week to take up that bill and consider the wool question,and among others he would give his time to Mr. Hurd, as this was claimed to be a sort of an Ohio question. [Laughter.] Mr. Converse (dem., O ) moved to suspend the rules and pass the bill re- storing the duty of 1867 on wool. Mr. McKinley(dem., O.) approved the measure. The last house had no oppor- tunity to vote on the wool tariff as an in- dependent proposition. He appealed to the gentlemen on the other side to sup- port the measure. He did so more bold- ly, because their brethren in Ohio last fall promised the people they would restore the duty on wool at the beginning of the present session. The democrats on every stump made that promise. He held a pamphlet issued by authority of the democratic state com- mittee, which declared that if Hoadley was elected governor the democrats in the first days of the eession would wipe out the iniquity which was inflicted by the republican party. Ho asked the democrats to keep their pledges. Mr. Henley (dom , Cal.) supported the motion. Mr. Wilkins (dem., O.) said it was not often the farmers came asking for legis- lation, and when they did, congress should give them a respectful heaving. Mr. Hurd (dem., O ) opposed the bill on the ground that the restoration of the old tariff would increase its price by in- creasing the price of foreign wool re- quired in domestic manufacture, There were three classes interested—the con- sumers of woolen articles, the manufac- turers of woonlen goods, and the wool growers, The consumers under the mn creased tariff would have to pay more for their goods. In this climate woolen clothing was indispensable to all classes, even to the poorest. Should the price of this necessity of life bo increased it would do an unforgivable wrong to millions. Its effect on the manufacturing interests would be equally bad, The woolen industry was in a bad condition, The mills were largely shut up entirely, or running on short time. It would simply add to their already heavy burdens to increase the price of the raw material, especially of foreign wool, of which 75,000,000 pounds were imported in 1880, Yet the mills were not run at more than half their capacity. The tariff so put up prices as to keep American manufacturers out of the world's markets. Englandjsold abroad $120,000,000 worth of woolen goods. America scarcely $400,000 worth. The passage of the bill would compel a further reduction of wages, It would not help tee wool grower, for his prosperity depended on the prosperity of the manu- facturere, The low priceof American wool 18 largely attributable to the high price of foreign wool. The American farm- er only produced a medium wol and any duty on superfine or carpet wool could not be of advautage to him. The wan- ufacturer must have partly fine wool, and its high price, owing tothe high tare, prevented him paying a good price for medium grades. Mr. Converce said the pending ques- tion was not as to whether the laboring fienpls should be compelled to pay w iff was cut down so much money was put into the pockets of Britishers in Aus tralia? The gentleman made a mistake about the fibro of wool. Australia pro duced the finest, but tho United States produced the most elastic fibre. 1f the tariff could be maintained at what it was ia 1867, this country in a fow years could maintain its wool industry without a tar. iff. Without it, our wool would be driv- on from the market. Over §15,000,000 was lost the past year owing to the reduc- tion of the duty. Itdid not affect the price of clothing. The motion was lost— yeas 119; nays 126. On Converse’s motion to suspend the rules and pass the bill restoring the duty of 1867 on wool, the following north- westorn representatives voted yea: An- derson, Cannon, Cullen, Eilwood, Funs- ton, Henderson (I11.), Hanback, Hitt, Hepburn, Kasson, Morrill (Kas.), Pay- son, Peters, Perkins, Rowell, Weller, Wilson (la.), Ryan, The nay vote of the northwestern members was: Adams (I11.), Honderson (Ia), Morrison, Moulton, Murphy, Neece, Riggs, Springor, Struble. Thoso absent or not voting wore: Messrs. Dunham, Finerty, George R. Davis, Worthington, Townshend, Thou a3, McCook, Cook (Ia.) Mr. Thompeon (dem., Ky.) moved to suspend the rules and adopt a resolution declaring it unwise and inexpedient for the present congress to abolish or reduce the tax on spirits distilled from grain, In a_brief debate which followed, Messre, York (N.C.) and Cox (dem.,N.C.) opposed the motion and advocated the fntiru repeal of the interanal rovenue aws, Mr. White (vep., Va.) also opposed the moticn, and favored a reduction of the tax on distilled spirits after January lst, 1887 to five cents per gallon, and a change of the cxisting law so as to pro- vide that the tax shall be paid within sixty days after tho spirits have been put in bond. Mr. Willis (dem., Ky.)'and Mr. Kasson (rep., Ia.) favored the motion on the ground that the whisky industry was liablo to a serious financial disturbance as long as the queation remained in doubt. The last tax to bo taken off, should be the tax on whisky. Mr. Springer (dem., Il1.,) thought the great mass of the people desired to have whickey taxed, and he wanted congress to give notice notice that this tax of $70, 000,000,000 would remain on the statute book till the people could get cheaper blankets and cheaper neceasities of life. The motion was agreed to and the reso- lution adopted—yeas 179, nays 3s. Mr. Keliogg (vep., Ln.,) introduced bills for the improvement of the Louisi- ana bayous, agyregatine §95,000.

WasHiNaToN, April 7.—A strong effort is being made by business organizations of this country to persuade cobgress to pass a national bankruptcy law. The bill now before congress for this purpose is the result of a good deal of careful study by men who have given the subject agrest deal of thought, and have had long legal experience. A series of argu- ments in favor of the enactmont of such a law have been presented to the mem- bers in pamphlet form. THE PUBLIC BUILDING GRAB. The house committee on public build- ings have reported bills for the erection of from thirty to forty public buildings in various parts of the country. There is the usual growl from those who ask and do not get the buildings. There are always four or five times as many appli- cants as can be given buildings. One of these unhappy individnals whose bill has not yet been reported suid, in conversa- tion with your correspoudent, that he had made & careful study of the house calendar, and found of the thirty-one bills reported by the comumittee, only two were for republican districts. Fully four-fifths, he said, of those reported are for democratic districts. NEWSPAPER TAX, THE OPPRESSIVE POUND RATES. ‘WASHINGTON, April 7.—Jozeph Medill, editor of The Chicago Tribune, and pres- ident of the Western Associated Press, made an argument today before the sen- ate committee on postofices and post roads, in favor of the reduction of the present pound rate of postage on newspa- pera issued from the offices of publica- tion. The present law, wus, he said, the occasion of laying the oppressive tax upon publishers. It enacted in was 1874 ~ and fixed the rate of postags on papers issued from the office of publication at two cents per pound, which rats it made prepaya- ble at the office of publication. Before the enactment of this law the postage on this class of mail matter was collected at the postoffice delivery from the sub- scriber, then the news agent, or whoever received the papers, the tax falling upon the purchaser, as it ought. But it was said a great many papers were not taken out of the postoffice, and in order to stop this loss the revenue law requiring pay- ment was enacted. The result has been that the publishers of the Umted States have been compelled to pay a tax amount- ing to £1,600,000 per annum during the past ten years, o —— The Burlington Fools With the Tri- partite, Onrsaco, April 7.—A meeting of the managers of roads parties to the tripar- tite agreement, forming the Western Trunk Line association, was held to-day for the purpose of consulting upon plans for harmonizing the differences between the association and the Burlington road. The eession was sceret, but it is under- etood matters progressed to the extent igher prise for their clothing. He would have liked if his colleague had shown by facts and figures that the price of clothing was cheaper now than prior 4o the passage of the tariff bill. Statis- tics did not sustain the gentleman’s rhetoric, The question was whether this great industry should be kept in the hands of American citizevs or its profits divided among foreign nations. The wool industry was one of the largest siu- glo industries in the United States, Its annual product was over $150,000, 000, aud it gave employment to ever 200,- 000 men—10t women “and children, but strong men, Did not the gentleman of the interior to deliver to | know that American free trade was Brit- the Cincinnati law library & complete utlhh protection] That when the wool tar- of rendering the formation of a pool be tween the associztion and the Burlington road probable.
