the tariff bill again.The nouse then went into committee of tbe

whole (Mr. Springer, ot Illinois, in the chair) on

| the tariff bill.CHEAP VEGETABLES FRO* CANADA.

Mr. Baker (N. Y.) moved to strike from the freelist vegetables in their natural state or in salt orbrine, not specially enumerated or provided for.Mr. Brewer (Mich.), in supporting the motion,

referred to the strong competition which existedbetween the farmers of Northern Michigan andthose or the province or Ontario; and he protested

> ngaln-t the removal of the small tariff which wasnow laid upon the vegetables Imported fromCanada.Mr- T. H. B. Brown (Ya ) said that the question

presented was whether the farmers of this coun-'T .should be permitted to feed the people of the' n tfd States or whether the farmers of othercountries should be allowed to do so.

MR. PARQIHAR'9 IRONY.Mr. Farquhar CN. Y.), ironically expressed his

admiration for the generosity of the committee onways and means In opening the Northern marketsVLi-t cana(llan, farmers. If that was goodAmerican policy let the committee follow it;butalomr the Canadian border there were lnt-nieent

I farmers who would elve their opinion of this cut¬throat legislation when November came around.

^ iw (Tex->- sa,<1 lhat on" of the objectionsmade to the clause was that it removed fiedutvon potatoes. This wns a mistake as potatoes wereSP^°'2£aUj[ Provided for m auother portion of thei e clause- heintended, was in the interest

of the consuming classes, and he queried wherein? republicans would be willing to reduce taxa-

Mr. Brumm(Pa-), suggested that they were readyto reJuce internal taxes.

FREE WHISSY AND THE DARWINIAN THEORY.Mr. J. D. Taylor (Ohio), challenged the state¬

ment that the republican party was in favor offree wnisky. All portions of the republican partywere in favor of abolishing Internal taxes becausethey believed It to be unwise as a svstem. Under..

circumstances a man who would coldly, andwith his Judgment in his hand, assert that the re¬publican party was in favor of free whisky, mightbe develop, d, according to the Darwinian theoryfor countless cycles of time without mounting in¬tellectually to the position of a brevet ass.[Laug.iter and appliu-e on the republican side 1. .T" y''fu Inquired whether the gentleman ln-tended that remark to apply to him.Mr. Taylor suld that lie would repeat his remark.

NR. MILLS AND THE REPVBL1CAN PARTY.Mr. Mills.All I have to say is that the platform

of the republican party says it Is In favor of therepeal of Internal taxes. (Shoutsof "Oh! no" fromthe republicans.] It says it is in favor of taklntrthe tax off alcohol used In the arts, and if that isnot enougn ii is In favor of taking off all lnt<rnaltaxes, l uat is what Is understood by the countryas bein? in favor of free whisky.Continuing, Mr. Mills said that he was not as¬

tonished at the tenderness or gentlemen on thisquestion, it was well known that the majorityof tlw republican party was opposed to theextreme position which the republicansJ\? .li4 Chicago. It was well knownthat the gentleman tr>)m Pennsylvania (Mr Kelieyirepresented a minority, and when the conventionat Chicago was lashed and scourged to take aposition lor free whiskey, no one sooner than thegentleman from Pennsylvania sent oongiatula.lions to the convention for coming to the heroicstand which he had occupied. For the firsttime at Chicago had the republican partycome boldly end taken the portion before theAmerican people in favor of keeping the taxes onthe necessities of life and demanding that theTreasury should be emptied by taking tbe taxoff whisky. That was the position that partyhad taken before the intelligent Judgment®J .,th,e, American people, and no amountor disclaiming would convince the people that thatparty, if in power, would not take the tax offwnisky and leave it on every article of necessity[Applause on democratic side.] 1

MR. KEI.LEY REPLIES TO MR. MILLS.Mr. Kelley (Pa.) said that no man who bad read

I or heard what he had said on thesubject of internal taxation since the closeof the war, was Justified In charg-

| lng him with being in favor of free whisky Hehad never favored it. He advocated the repealsof the war taxes which Thomas Jeffersonhad denounced as an infernal system, and atthat time had been repealed at theend of eleven years. He denounced that infernalsystem which Madison and Monroe had hastenedto repeal at the end of four years whensuch taxes had been. again resorted to asa war measure. He had demanded that thedemocracy should walk in the footsteps of thefathers of that party and should maintainits holiest precedence by removing thesupervision of the national Government from thefields, the factories, and (he orchards of the South.He had demanded that the democrats carry outtheir platform of 1884, which promised an abolitionor the internal taxes. The gentleman fromTexas (Mr. Mills) could not deny that it was thedemocratic promise in 1884 to the tobaccogrower^the fruit growers, and the distillers of the South!that they should be relieved from national surlveil)ance and supervision. He had asked that thisgreat source of revenue be remitted to the oeonleot the states, and, under state law. to the munlcl-

6allties of the state, and the governments whichore the burden of crime, and vice and Insanity

should have whatever revenue might be lustlvderived from a source so fruitful ot crime and m£.erj as the whisky business. He was in fafor or freewhisky ! It was a dire party necessity whichmade the chairman ot the ways and means com¬mittee make such a charge against himpersonally or as a representative of his partyA democrat of old, he stood by the teachingsof the founders of the party, and ot the tramersor its doctrines; and he asked the demo¬crats to-day to keep faith with the peopleof the Booth, who bad been deluded into theirsupport four years ago by their lying promises toremove the Internallaxes.

Keierred to appropriations commit-tee.

The School Appropriations.THE DISTRICT COMMISSIONERS WRITE a LETTER TO

SENATOR PLUMB.The commissioners have written to Senator

Plumb In reply to a verbal inquiry concerning tbepublic school appropriations, as follows: "For theremoval of schools from basement rooms and fromother rooms unfit for use as school rooms, and toprovide whole day schools for all pupils eightyears of age and over, will require all the schoolbuildings which are provided lor by the pendingappropriation bill as amended by the Senate, ifwnoie day scltools are to be provided for childrenover ten years only, a reduction may be made Inthe number of ouildlngs. ft this case one of theschool buildings in the first, one in the third, andone in the fifth division might be dispensed with."In response to inquiries of the same gentleman,tbe commissioners further say that ou behalf orthe school board Mr. Boss A. Full has addresseda letter to them.He asks that me commissioners have a confer¬

ence with the Senate committee and get them tostrike from the bill tbe paragraph containing pro¬visions making certain restrictions regardlug theincrease ol salaries. Mr. Fish writes that ih - pre¬ceding part ol the paragraph conforms to the or¬ganization of the public schools in tliree impor¬tant particulars, viz: The number of teachers,the average salary paid to teachers and the ag¬gregate amount of salaries. Under this provis¬ion Mr. Fish thinks further restncnons of the billare unnecessary, and make It difficult to adjustsalaries wisely.He says that he Is informed that It Is thought bymembers oi the committee that this provision does

not prevent the promotion of the principal of thecolored Normal ScUool, yet lu the Judgment ofthe board of school trustees, and the accountingofficers of the Treasury, it does, and as it compli¬cates, instead of helping school interests and pros¬perity, It is hoped the commissioners may bee it inthe same light and strike the paragraph from thebill as suggested. He earnestly pleads that theprovision rorbidding discrimination between maleand female teachers be stricken out."It wUi," he says, "utterly fall to accomplish the

purpose tor which it was introduced, viz., to makefemale teachers receive equal salaries for equalwork with male teachers. It Is the desire of tbeboard to give the female teachers as much as maleteachers when they do the same work, but It can¬not be done under this provision; It will only re.duce some very competent male teachers to lowergrades ol salaries, as the preceding paragraphForbids 'increase ol salaries' or increase ol thenumber of teachers."

evening of the republican nominees; -I believe itIs a ticket that will grow stronger until the day ofthe election. We have had tickets of eutbusi.ismbefore. This ticket commands and represents tnefull strength ol the republican party. No republi¬can convention has adjourned since the war witheverybody accepting tbe result as unanimously asthis convention adjourned. New York demandedHarrison, and Indiana offered him, and Connecti¬cut approved of hlin and New Jersey accepti-d him,and California adopted him. These are the statesthat can elect blio. They have given bond to gorepublican, and I believe they will do it. The re¬publican pi.rty will have very Utile campaign fundas against the opulent tund that many Urge in¬terests will provide the democrats, but 1 believethis Is one of the elements ot our strength. 1 be¬lieve we can make a strong and winning tight onprinciple and without money.
