natural result capital and labor moved
forward in their respective spheres in con-
tent and accord with mutual profit. To
judge from the intemperate language and
exaggerated rhetoric which had frequently
marked the debate, it would seem as if
those engaged in industrial pursuits were
robbers and outlaws. As a matter of fact,
they were nothing of the sort They were
a portion, and no mean portion, of the
btsineis of the country, and had been in,
vited under the law to engage in thoee em
ployments, and therefore, if for no other
reason, they were entitled to the protei tion
of the law. They were part of our re
sources as a nation, and todeveloo those
resources was the test of true statesman
ship. lie rejoiced in the growth and pros-
penty of every section of the country. If
the denunciations of the advocates of the
bill were to be believed, the men who had
built up our manufactures had committed
sn unp.inlonablesin. Ha could see a good
reason why England should think so.
hut not why such should be tho feeling of
any citizen of the United States. Great
Britain had never ceased to deplore the
lots of her American colonies. She had
struck, as she thought, a deadly blow in
1812, and during our civil war she had
done her best to sunder the two sections,
Since that time she had changed her poll-
cy, and instead of forco resorted to per
suasion and advice. She eked out tho
lion's skin with that of the fox. The Uni
ted States should remember the warning
to fear tho Greeks cyan whan bearing gifts.
He then went on to argue against the
policy of unsetting business interests by
constant tinkering with tho tariff. Should
no law laat longer than the meeting
of the next Congress? Should
the meeting of Congress cause fear and its
adjournment cause relief? Should noth
ing !e settled fora time at least, bat should
doubt and mistrust always haunt the wak-
Ing and sleeping boura of the people? lie
was emphatically opposed to any such su
icidal proceeding. It would he madness
for any partv to pursue it. It w a submit
ted to every member's judgment to apply
a heroic remedy to this bill or to let it rin
ger out a sickly existence, bearing In its
wake tuuineea confusion and general bank
ruptcy. It was not based on any sound
principle. There hart been apologies for
it, but no . defense. It was
need that it might reduce
the surplus revenue, but nobody pretend
ed toi|«:ik with certainty. There was no
attempt for an adjustment of the tariff.
It sliced reckless of Injury. It might re
duce certain Interests and industries as
well is the revenues. It eras like the fa-
moui bed of the old robbers—If a man was
too small, ha was stretched out to lu

Washington the local lines of interest bad

Mr. Blackbnrn said that unlike the gen-
tlemnn from Pennsylvania (Mr. Randall)
ho did not complain of the conduct of the
debate. In the main It had beenfatr—fair
from the difftrent standpoints from which
tlie bill had been viewed. He did regret
that the gentleman from Connecticut (Hr.
Eaton) should have seen fit, in the exuber
ance of zeal, to have indulge in remarks
which were received, and could be re
ceived, by many of his political asso
ciates only with a tense of the
sincerest pain. Ho regretted that
the gentleman should have found It nec
essary to'appeal to prejudice and passion,
which should hare been buried with the
war which gave them birth, and sbonld
have attempted to flaunt in the face of the
American House the bloody shirt which a
sense of dignity on the part of the Repub
licans themselves hod long since consigned
to oblivion." [Loud applause ou the Demo
cratic side.]
Eaton—“I suppose my friend alludes to
the remark I made in reference to the Con
federate constitution. I explained to the
full satisfaction of the gentleman from
Georgia (Mr. Hammond) exactly wbat I
meant—that I intended to point an irre
sistible argument; that the very making
of that Confederate constitution,
leaving out the general welfare
clause, showed that the sense
of that people prevailed; and permit me
to lay that tlie distinguished 8enator from
Louisiana (Mr. Gibson) quoted the same
clause of the Confederate constitution,
made precisely the sxinc line of remarks,
and I have yet to hear that he is sec.
tional.”
Mr. Blackburn—"I did not blame the
gentleman so much for using that refer
ence. I know that the original responsi
bility for its introduction into the debate
diil not begin at his door, but that tlie sug
gestion was furnished him by a gentleman
coming from a section farther South, hut I
regret that the word traitor should have
crept into a tariff debate."
Mr. Eaton—“I thought that my public
character and public record would be a
defense against any charge of that kind. I
was speaking of the revolutionary war.
I was speaking of a Connecticut man who
was called a traitor, as he was, and I said
that there were other traitors than he—
that the woods were full of them."
Mr. Blackburn— 1 "If the gentleman's
opprobrious epithet was Intended for only
those who figured in the revolutionary
struggle I have no cause for complaint."
Mr. Hunt, of Louisiana, said that it was
be who had shown the Confederate con
stitution to the gentleman from Connecti
cut, for the purpose of showing that the
constitution with the fifth section In it did
not mean what the constitution did from
which the section had been rejected."
Mr. Blackburn then proceeded with hla
argument in favor of the bill.
Sir. Kasson, of Iowa, closed the debate
in opposition to the bill in a severe arraign
ment of ita provisions, which ihc declared
to be impossible of administration. lie
challenged the tarifls of the world to pre
sent provisions of an enormity and confu
sion approaching those of the (lending
measure; asserted that it would require a
special catechism to answer tho questions
which must be asked before any goods
were imported, and predicted that if the
bill were enacted into a law before a yeai
every Importing merchant would bo clam
orlng to Congress to restore tho old rates
of duty. The bill tossed into the lap of
Europe one-tifth of the duties which now
flowed into tlietreasurvof the United States
without exacting an equivalent from any
of the countries of Europe. To call that
statesmanship was to nullify tho meaning
clause, and Messrs. Morrison and Tjrttc.,
of Kentucky, calling for tlie yeas and nays,
it was agreed to-yeas 159, nays 155.
When Mr. Young’s name, the last on
the list, was called, Speaker Carlisle said
to tho clerk, “Cull my name." His name
was called, the Speaker voting nav. The
vote was received with cheers 'by the
friends of tho measure.
Representatives Barr and Robinson, of
hew York, were absent. Before Hie vote
was announced clerk read names of four
pairs, the smallest number of members
recorded as paired for years—Bennett,
nay, with Ochiltree, yea; Muldrow, nay,
with Valentine, vea; Nlcliolts. nay, with
R>ggs, yea; Woods, nay, with Johnston,
nay.
‘The voto on the pending bill is 159 yeas
to 155 nays/’ said the clerk. Upon the an
nouncement of the result, there was a rep
etition of the scene that followed the an
nouncement by the tellers. The Republi
cans and successful Democrats rose in
their seats and gave cheer after cheer.
Some waved papers above their heads,
while others added to the confusion by th
continuous clapping of hands. In the gal
leries men and women again cheered, the
latter also vigorously waving their hand
kerchiefs.
Mr. Morrison moved to vacate the order
for a night session, which was agreed to.
Mr. Randall moved that members who
had not spoken on the tariff be allowed to
print their remarks in the Record.
This motion was also agreed to.
Mr. Converse moved to reconsider the
vote by which the House decided to strike
out Hie enacting clause, and then moved
to lay (list motion on the table. The mo
tion was carried by a viva voce vote and
the announcement of this result was re
ceived with cheers and applause, although
not with so much enthusiasm as the pre
vious announcement.
Mr. Willis suggested that Mr. Converse,
whose seat is on the Democratic side, have
a seat hereafter with the Republicans.
When the lost vote was announced,
members began leaving the ball. The
crowd In the galleries began leaving and
within ten minutes scarcely ten persons
remained. At 5:20 the House adjourned
till to-morrow. As the members were
leaving many expressed the opinion that
a final adjournment should be taken in
June—some thought in the latter part,
others during tho first few days of the
month.

Mr. Morrison, of Illinois, closed the de
bate witli a rapid review of the objections
which had Iwcn made to the bill, and on
equally rapid and brief answer to these ob-
ections. Should tho motion to strike out
:ho enacting clause be agreed to, it would
be a declaration that tariff taxation would
bo continued and the* Dcmocmtio party
would appeal tr m the Congress of the
United States to the people, and Hie people
would so understand it. Ho referred to
the fact that tlie Democrats from Iowa.
Wisconsin. Michigan, and California
had been elected on tarifl reform platforms,
and expressed his fear that if tlie Dili should
be ilofested they would bo succeeded by
l’nge ami Burrows and Hazelton and "My
dear Huhbell." He then turned bis atten
tion to Mr. Randall, and addressing hint
said: "You claim to have the power to
striko out the enacting clause of this bill.
If yon have that power, you have the
power to amend this hill and make it what
it should lie." (I/>udapolau*« on the Dem

hum of conversation and watched with in

in an earnest conversation with
Mr. Hunt, of Louisiana, anil
did net appear to know that all eyes
were fixed upon him. Mr. Kasson, fear
ful tliat the time for a motion to strike out
tho enacting clause would ho in order
would expire before Mr. Converse's atten
tion could be attracted to the fact, rose
and Inquired ot tho chair whether the
proper time had como to make a motion,
liefore the chair could respond. Mr. Con
verse. pushing to the front, moved to strike
out the enacting clause. This was tho sig
nal for a volley of hisses an.l groans from
tlie Democratic side, this demonstration
1 icing met by rounds ot applause from the
Republican side. Tlie scene in the cham
ber was one of intense excitement
and confusion, to which the

the regulation ot certain unwholesome or
dangerous trades, such as the slaughter
house business, the manufacturing uf gun
powder, etc., which becomes detrimental
to tho public health or safety, is included
among wbat may .tic called the police pow
ers of the State. Second, that the Legisla
ture cdknot, by any contract, limit tho ex
ercise of these public powers to the preju
dice ef general welfare. The preservation
of the public health and the protection of
the public morals arc so necessary to the
best interests of the social or
ganization that wise policy forbids
a legislative body to divest itself of the
|>ower to enact laws for the preservation
uf health and tho repression of crime.
Such power cannot lie sold or bargained
away under any circumstances, as if it
were a mere privilege which the legislator
could dispose of at his pleasure. Third, It
follows from these considerations that the
State of Louisiana had and could pro|>erly
exercise the power to revoke the exclusive
'rivileges granted the appellees in this
-use, and that the State constitution of
1179 and the ordinances of the
city of New Orleans complained
of are not void as Impairing the ohGgatlon

which we said everybody understood.
