ba. Debate on the tariff bill
turned on Tuesday last, and
JUriea were almost ai much
Vlon that day an on the day
Han Milla ojened the contest,
ae has been expreti-sed that the
t who frequent the galleriet In
aambera, should take to much
irV5t in a cubieci that must nto-
eVetybody else, seem to realize that
the work of the session La begun,
and that the ground-work of the
next presidential campaign is teing
Uid.
After ninth diagreomiiit in re
gard to the length of time tho tariff
debate shall be allowed to continue,
the house ways and nivalin commit
tee agreed to limit the general dis
cussion to twenty days, iu all, x
cludire of night session, of which
there will be about tim e a w- k.
Four of the twenty day h are al
ready consumed, leaving about two
weeks more for taiifl' floquen;e.
Thin gir"8 sufficient opportunity for
a full aud free discussion of the sub
ject, atid btU jtartie lire sttisGed
with the tint allotted. Tticre is fo
be an equnl division of the time be
tween the republican and democrat
ic speakers.
Among thoso wlio have made
speeches on the tariff bill this week
were Representatives McMillan, of
Tennessee. Hiimnvs, of Michigan,
Itrnum nnd llrownf. ol' Indiana,
Hemphill, of Siii!h Cnrolin-i. and
Dockerv. of Missouri. Mt ssis '
McMillan and llurrows sp-ke for 1
over two hours each, tlie former
I presenting the democratic id- i
the question, and the latter chain-
pi'Hiiug the c:tue of protcctioti.
The
IV t o . ... . , ....'.
! manner f deiiv. i v is not the ino-l
pleasing. but he is
manner is foicible.
looiinl ir.l his 1
lie ripened hi-
sjiecli witli the declaration that
nttin ,nijoi.al:ir. l Hie ,j:i.-;.oli
of personal liberty was the ijio-st ion
of how and Low mii- li the iTotde
! shall be taxed. As it tiertains t'
taxation it was no n ev ,,neslin. but ;
was with us in t lie beginning of our :
government, and would be with 11-
to its close. He who advocated th j
present tariff, favored a tariff iiot .
favtircd a tariff imt
tot revenue, not for prolection mere-
p but H tariff for Mind
- . . '
us and a '
tariff for trusts. Said he:
The
internal revenue fields, in round j
numbers, one hundred and twenty '
millious of revcntio to the govern ;
meut. The annual surplus is only j
about sixty millions; so that if ulV
tl, .'niom-.i reromie law were r-
nealed. it would leave n defuiencv i
in our taxes of ivty millions a year. !
What is this deficiency to be raise J
! from? Shall we ro impose a tax on !
j tea and coffee? No. There is not !
' mn l,ro n-l.n o.d.l rnt.iv nflee I
I fa uidii us m.- w
! to untax whisky. Shall we increase
i
j tho duties on woolen goods, rice or
sugar? No, for the people would
! not and tho people should not tol
! erate such legislation. Then we
have to select the subjects from
which we will rrnnve taxes; and in
view of the fact that we cannot re
peal the revenue system, we have to
determine whether we will reduce
the tf x on whisky or the tax on
clothing; tho tax on whisky or the
tax on sugar. In other words, re
duce the tax on that without which
men can live and prosper, or upon
that which is essential to their very
comfort and existence, and it nar
fowa itself down to a contest be
tween the drunkard's belly and the
poor man's back. In that fight I
do not hesitate to say that I espouse
the cause of the back, and defy the j
world, the flesh and tho devil
Protection was tho kevnote of
Representative Ibirrows' speech,
whinb gave great satisfaction to his
republican friends. He said our
tariff to-tlay is professedly protec
the in that it i levied, not for rev -
enue only, but b encouiage Amer-
ican imbiMry . and to protect Amer-
icao loor. He cbsed w iib an p-
peal to the naw S unit, lorn of the
throes of war, but now full of cour-
age and hope, her loins girt for it
new race, her heavens aglow with
the break f n new day. wai ning
her that the Mills tariff bill b ided
! only disrupter to her.

Dr. Whitman had crossed the
plains and the mountain to Oregon
and knew from a few years' rei
dence, the value of the country. He
also knew that the Hudson bay
company wero anxioua to obtain
poaaesttion of the whole northwest.
and bad circulated the report that
it ;
At a dinner given in 1H12, where
the doctor and several of the com
psny's chief oflicers were present,
news was received that a band of
British emigrants had crossed (he
mountain. Toasts were drank iu
honor of the event. "Now the
Americans may whistle; the country
is ours," said one of the Englishmen
boastiugly.
"God helping mo tho country is
not yours," nid the doctor to him
self as he It-rt the table. The next
day he left for Withhington on
horseback. Jle made the journey
in winter, and with frozen limbs
called on Daniel Webster, the secre
tary of btate. On presenting his
cas, he was blufily told by Mr.
Webster that the country was
worthless.
"Wagons cannot cross the moun
tains," paid the secretary. "Sir
George Simpson, who is here, affirms
that. I am alout trading that
worthless region lor some valuable
conceMoiis in relations to the New-
fouiidl.it!.! fisheries." Finding that
a treaty hud lieen approved by the
