Mr. WADE. It is on page 84. The 1st amendment that he suggests is in line 224 of section 7. The bill now reads, “on cross cut saws, 12 cents per lineal foot.” He wants to make it 25 cents instead of 12. Then in line 225, “on mill, pit, and drag saws, not over 9 inches wide, 15 cents per lineal foot, ” he proposes to insert 35 cents, and instead of a duty of 25 cents per lineal foot on those saws over 9 inches wide he proposes 40 cents. The next clause of the bill reads now in this way:, On all hand saws not over 24 inches in length, $1 25 per dozen, and, in addition thereto, 30%. advalorem, over 24 inches in length, 2 dollars per dozen, and, in thereto, 30 per addition cent.ad valorem. He proposes to amend that clause so as to read: On all hand saws not over 24 inches in length, 2 dollars per dozen, and, in to, 30 per addition there cent. advalorem, over 24 inches in length, 3 dollars per dozen, and, in addition thereto, 40%. advalorem. Then the next clause reads in this way: On all back saws not exceeding ten inches in length, onedollar perdozen, and, in addition thereto, 30%. advalorem; over ten inches in length, 50 per dozen, and, in addition thereto, 30%. advalorem. He proposes to amend that clause so as to make it read: On all back sawsnot exceedingteninches in length, 2 loop. dozen, and, in addition thereto, 30%. advalorem, over ten inches in SiS. length, 3 per dozen, and, in addition thereto, 30%. advalorem. Those amendments this gentleman, who is extensively engaged in the business, and the other intelligent gentlemen who were with him thought ought to be made. As for my own ideas on the subject they are good for nothing, for I do not profess to have any particular knowledge, not having had my attention directed to it; but I call the attention of the Senate and of the committee to the statement of this gentleman, that the Present rate fixed by the bill would be destructive to that business. All I wish to do is to call the attention of the Senate to it. I hope that they will goome to the conclusion that the amendment I have suggested ought to be made.
