The account showed ho bank owed a balance of § 550,000 to ho clearing house but this was reduced M $339,000 by the discovery that there were among the chocks ptoiontcd over $200,000 in uncertified chocks of Giant fc Ward.

FORTY-EIGHTH CONtfUKSS. HOUSE. The morning hour was dispensed with and the house wont into committee o ; ho -whole ( Mr. Cox , dom. , N. Y. , in tin chair ) on tno tariff bill. Mr. Brown ( dem. , Pa. ) spoke in sup port of the prptectivo system of taxation Mr. Townsend ( dom , III. ) quoted fron various platforms of dotnocratio nationa conventions to show that the party ho ( always boon in favor of tariff reform ant always declared for a revenue tar ill' some gentlemen repudiated the torn "protection" and took refugn behind th < term "discrimination. " If the discrimi lotion wore boiled down it would bi : pund to bo the quintessence of protoc ion. Kit waa not the proper tune tc jegin the work of tariff reduction , whet a presidential election waa coming on and people could record their votoa 01 ; ho question , when would the propc ; imo bo ) Mr. Randall ( dom. , Pa. ) then took ( he leer in opposition to the bill. Hi opened by citing the extreme quicknoai with which capital invested in largo in duutrial establishments took alarm While in common with all other interest ! it was liable to bo called on far taxatioi to aid in the support of the government Congress owed it to itself that nothinj like a vindictive policy should bo adopt ed. In the nice adjustment of busiucs affairs gthora was nothing moro condu cive to success than stability. If ther waa stability it was a sure foundation fo confidence , and na a natural result cap ! tal and labor moved forward in their respective spectivo spheres in contentment and ii accordance with mutual profit. To judg from the intemperate language and exaggerated aggorated rhetoric which had so frc quontly marked the debate , itvoul seem as if those engaged in industtia purnuits wore robbers and outlaws. A A matter of fact they were nothing of th sort. They were a part ( and no ruea : part ) of the business of the country , am had boon united under the law to engag in those employments , and therefore , i for no other reason than that they wor entitled to the protection of the law they were part of our resources as a na tion , and tc develop these resources wa the test of true statesmanship Ho rejoiced in th growth and prosperity of over ; section of the country , If the dcnuncia tiuna of the advocates of the bill were t bo believed , the men who had built u our manufactories had committed th unpardonable sin. Ho could aoo goo reason why England should think so bu not why such should bo the feeling of an citizen of the United States. Gruut Brii iau had never ceased to deplore the los her American colonies. She had strncl as she thought , a deadly blow in 1811 and during our late civil war had don her best to sunder the two sectioni Sinca that time oho had changed her pal cy , and instead of force , resorted to pe : suasion and advice. She eked out of th lion's skin with that of the fox. Tli United States should remember the trait ing to "fear the Greeks oven when brtij ing gifts. " lie then want on to argue against tl ; policy of unsettling the business intores by constantly tinkering with the tarif Should no law last longer than the meo ing of the next congrcae ? Should meeting of congress cause fear , and i adjournmentcauso enjoyment ? Shoul nothing bo settled for a time at leas should doubt and mistrust haunt tli working and sleeping hours of the pei pie ? For ono , ho was emphatically 01 posed to any such suicidal policy. J would ba madneas for any party , to pu : sue it. It was submitted to every man ber's judgment to apply the heroic ren edy to this bill or to lot it linger out sickly existence , bearing initi wako bu iuess confusion and general bankruptcy It was not based on any sound principli There had been apologies for it , but r defense. It wai guessed it might roduc the aurplua revenue , but nobody pn tended to speak with certainty. Thei waa no attempt for adjustment of the tai iff. lUlicod u way rock legs ofjtho injury might do certain interests and industrii as well aa to the rovenuo. It waa HI the famous bed ot the old robber ; if man wai too small , ho wns stretched 01 toils inexorable length ; if too long , 1 wai cut down to fit it. It was a thing i measurement and neb a wiio scheme i reduction. A horizontal reduction oflfo pd no remedy ; on the contrary it mac woiso what was bad before ; it waa a pa pjble confesaion of the inability to hand thin intricate problem at issue , or elao rash eagerness to do what waa at otico ui called for , unwise und unfortunate , appeared to bo agitation only for aako < agitation always & miatako. It wa tl clear dictate of common 8 nse , to hai waited until the effect of the last tar bill could have boon learned , and tin have saved from all the passion and tu bulautu of the presidential election , question in which the public welfare w < to deeply concerned , and which , if pose > lo , should never bo made a purely par- san issue. This 20 per , cont. reduction was ot so dangerous for what it did as foi what it promised. In thia regard Ihort was no room for conjecture. It wiw pro' loimod to bo a firm ilrst atop toward free rado. Lot gentlemen consider wha' : eo trade , BO called , meant. It incmit o hango of the whole scheme of collecting lie rovenuo. The people had boconu ccuslomcd to an export duty. It had irovon the safest and best method ol axatiou. It caused no friction or com' larativoly little. All this was to be llshcd and the internal war taxes be oullnucd. Was that the people's wishl ! ho old confederation relied on direct nxation , and it was a failuro. Tiio fa lters' government sought nftigo in a dif- oront nystcm and the result was moro n lerfect union in order to provide for the onimon defence and general welfare , 'ho bill bore a captivating caption and vaa doubtlcas intended to bo captivntino ; , t did not abolish wur taxes , for if it dtil t would repeal the internal revenue taxes f thoao taxes were abolished there woultl jo no internal ipvonuo and the ndminis ration of public affairs would bo rui iroperly and well. The nurplua rovctuu or this current year would bu about $00 , lOO.OOO. The housa waa invited hero U hooao between "tho firm first stop to vard free trade , " or to wait to reforn arilF until euch a time as the democrat ! ' mrty should frame i\ bill _ on the princi 's expressed in the Ohio platform. Ho had , ho satd , no difficulty in choos ng between the two lines of public policy .ml ho chose for his own pcopln and hi own country. Ho did this in the full us auranco that frco trade would bring noth ng but disaster and ruin ; while the prin cipal cxprctsion in the Ohio clccltxrutioi would bring prosperity , Iiappinoss , and ; higher order of civilization. Would i : iot bo wiser to defer the considcrrxtioi of so important a qucstiou until th country had passed through the excite raont of the presidential struggle , uuti some information could bo tocurcd as < , ho working of the tariff bill of 1882 Tli en a real reform mcasuro could b adopted which would remain undisturbei 'or years and would bo safe , steady au < inivorsally accepted. Then buaincs ntoresta would have time to adapt themselves solves to whatever change might occur. Though this subject ought not to involve volvo any question of party allegiance , i will bo well to consider how far its agi Ation might advance or retard the marc ] , o victory of the great democratic party rho southern states alone were made quato to succear , and -which of tbo no'th o'n states waa likely to accept the nov diiponsation ? Ho would speak plain ! ; and utter his fcara oven in the preaenc of his political enemies Take the fou treat states of Connecticut , Now York tfuw Jersey and Pennsylvania. Th census showed that inoro thai 1,100,000 were engaged in manufac .urea in these four great dommonwoalthc Did the gentlemen bcliova that a rcduc ; ion of wages w'as a potent factor in wio ning the support of thceo people , and ce socially when the republican orator : sacked by a powerful pr/jss / , would thur der in their ears thur the democrats party had been the trwii caujo pf thc reduction , Ho twigged { He goutronicn t ponder those thtnga j > " 4 ( not lightly dii miss thorn. ' * Thia waa certain , the would not act without a warning , and i was kindly meant , but not loss emp'm ' Ically aa it sprang from his deep convii tion of its truth. If , however , the inej ornble logio of ovcnta should demonstrat liis apprehensions to bo groundless , thoi would bo no ono more willing to acknowl edge his errqr , and rejoice that hia ossc ciates had been right. But to him it seemed inevitable that th action of the committee of ways am means would fall a little short of publi condemnation. Ho deplored that sue an illadviscd atop should bo taken , as th triumphs of the democratic party woi dear to him , and ho had sought them ai dontly and eagerly for nearly a quartc of a century. If disaster come ho , t least , would have the consolation < knowing it waa led to defeat by otht advice than hia. Theorists might figl for impossible doctrines , but ho know b exparionco how futile in government wi mere theory , how valuable was comma Dense. Ho believed in that which he stood the strain long , nor could ho bo o : pected to yield it for something impost bio nnd impracticable. ( Applause. ) Mr. Blackburn spoke in favor of tl bill , and Mr. Kasson closed the doba against the bill. Mr. Morrison closed in the debate f the bill with A rapid review of the o' jections made to the bill , and equal rapid und brief answers to these objc lions. Should the motion to strike 01 the enacting clause bo aufeod to , it wou bo a declaration that tariff taxation'wou bo continued , and the democrat party would appeal to congrc < 8 and the people , and the people would so u deistand it. Ho loforred to the /a that democrats from Iowa , Wisconsii Michigan and California had boon elec od on tariff reform platforms , and o pressed the fear that if the bill was d feated they would bo 4ucooeded I ' Paso , Burrows , Hazelton and My Da Hubbell. " He then turned to Randall and sai "You claim to have the power to atril out the enacting clause of thia bill , you have that power , you have the paw to amend this bill and make it what should be. [ Loud applause on the dot ocratio side. ] After a few moro cursory remarks i the general subject of tariff reform , Me rain's time expired. A murmor of expectancy ran throui the ranks of both aides aa the chairmj directed the clerk to road tko bill. The audience which throughout ti day crowded the galleries almost to m fpcation hushed their hum of convcra tion and watched with intense intercut. As the clerk began Mr. Converse Ii his seat in the last row of ecuts n walked down to the bar of the lieu ! stood norvounly fingering a piece of \ per which ho hold in hia hand. Wh the reading of the first paragraph completed there w 3 an embarrass ! pause. ' Convoreo was engaged in earnest cc veraation with Hunt aud did not appt to know that all oy a were fixed up him , and Mr. ICaason fearful that t time for a motion to strike out would pirp , before Convcrao's attention was , traded , rose and enquired of the oh whether the proper time had coino make thq motion , and before the ch could respond , Convene , pushing to t front , moved to strike out the onacti olauao , This was the signal for a volley of h 8f a and groans from the democratic sidr , nnd rounds of Applause from the ropub- hVan dido. The acono waa ono of intunao excitement and confusion , aided by loud cheers of approval nnd disapproval. Tellers being ordered , Converse nnd Morrison were appointed by the chair. Before taking hia place Morrison called t-i the clerk of the hoitao "to ace that no Lunned scoundrel who is paired goca bo * U-oon the tollers.
