in the civilized world whore she is not
known, mol cup oially among tlio

regarded as one of the chief stats of

Am ricu. Tlio south has gained both
by its advertisement of natural ro-
Foureofl and by tbo certain inllux of

On«- of the happii at results, however,
is the fact that tlio whole country h is

In anticipation of a fbdd day in the
hoiiRO Thurnday over the put-sago of
the tnnlT bill agreed on by the ways
and means committee, great crowds
were attracted to the capital and every
available inch of apaoo in the public
and private galleries, save the sections
reserved for tlio executive and diplo
matic oorpR, were taken. Most of the
members who hud gone homo for the
holidays hud hurriedly returned, and
the attendance on the ll >or was alnio-t
qr large as on the opening of the sua
sion, In addition, many senators were
present. Immediately a t r the read

chairman of the ways and means com
mittee, reported from that, o •tnmittr,

for such a c-.ur-c. 'ihis bill wv.s n-«t
demanded by any department of the
government. Tlu-ro was no ih cco-sby
for increased revenue. He protested
against the use of tic whip and rptir
for its puKflago before the o)iiuion of
the oxpertHof the treasury department
could la* oVitaincd as to its effect.
Mr. Dalzell, a member of the com
mittee on rules, said tin ro was no one
who did not know that wo face a pecu
liar exigency. The president and tho
aecrotnry of the treasury had both be
come alarmed and tho president had
asked tho house, notwithstanding it
was opposed to him politically, to
come to his aid. The treasury was Do
ing rapidly depicted, and since the de
mocracy had couio into the eontr d of
the executive branch of iho govern
ment thero had been frequent bond
issues.
Mr. Turner, democrat, Georgia,cnll-
cd at(< n ti on to tlio fact that bolh Iho
! president and the secretary of the
{ treasury had given congress tho high
est svmiranoo that there wnh ample
I revenue iu tho treasury. Bolh tlio
! president and secretary of the treas
ury had pointed out the evil in tho
financial situation and its r> mody.
j Everybody understood the str< ss ex-
I isting. And what was to bo the re
sponse f t congress? Before all reme
dial legislation was to bo put a pi .p >-
i sition to still further bleed and tax the
American people.
V Mr. Ileudcrs ui closed the d< bate in
a speech which aroused the ro| ubbcau
side to great enthusiasm. T his w ih,
he Slid, a business matt, r for a bnsi-

ENGLAND MAKES THREATS.
Hays Illicit) Sam Cun Get No More
British Gold.
Tlio London Standard, commenting
on tlio new American tariff bill, says
that it can only offer tho British in
dustries, by tlio prospect of a height
ened tariff, tho consolation that it
cannot hold sway iu tlio United Htates
very long unless tlio conditions of
trade improve very much.
Jt is legitimate to toll tlio American
people that they cannot have more
British money so long as their trade
is conducted on lines calculated to ilo-
Btroy the productiveness of all capital
or which it is impof-siblo to know
whetlnr their debts will finally bo
paid in gold or in paper worth from
20 to 25 cents on the gold dollar.

-age and so much of tho annual report

Dites to revenue nud tlio condition in

a direction * uleuluted to bring relief.
“U* port, that the committee appre
ciate the seriousness of tho situation
and tho importauco of prompt remo*
ii« s so far as congress can give them.
“Your committee regard the ehrouic
deficiency of revenue for the past two
ycarH ami a half as a most potent cause
oi the difficulties which tho treasury
uhh encountered, and an im
portant factor in tho creation
and promotion of that serious dis
trust which has paralyzed business and
dangerously shaken confidence ovon
in tlio financial operations of tho gov
ernment. It is as impossible for n
government to have a continuous
deficiency of revenue for two years
und a half without affecting its finan
cial standing, us it is for an individual,
ft is impossible also for a government
to continue in this condition without
casting a shadow of doubt and dis
couragement over all business opera
tions within its borders.
Tho president’s special message, set
ting forth so pointedly tho soriouenerin
• if tlio situation and the necessity for
tho promptest action, only emphasizes
tho duty of the house.
Jn response to tho urgent call of the
president, your committoe have felt
imp- lied to act with ull possible dis
patch ami two facts have led your
committee to look for au increase of
customs duties ns tho most appropri-
source of additional revenue.
The report on the bond bill says
that the secretary of tho treasury now

tion act oi 1875 to issue and sell ten-
y» ar five per cent bonds und thirty
