Mr. SPRAGUE. I move to amend by inserting after line 293 of section7, on page 37: Additional specific duty on machinery, namely: Qn coarse roving machines or slubber spindles, 49 incheslong, and upward, $150 per spin e. On fine roying machinesor fly framesfor spindles, lessthan 39 inches long, $1.25per spindle. sp9innd, lsepsi, nsnixintyg or throstle frames, with or without cents per spindle. On mulesor jacks for spinning yarn, with or without spindles, 35 centsper spindle. On spindles when imported without the machines, to wit: on coarseroying machines or slubber spindles, 39 inches long, andupward, 50 cents per spindle; on fine roving machine or fly frame spindles, lessthan39 incheslong, 40 cents per spindle; on twister, spinning, or throstle frame spindles, 12 cents each; on mule andjack spin dles, 8 centseach; on spoolerspindles, ten cents.on slubber or fly frameflyers, 35 cents It will be remembered that the Senate has increased the duty on machinery in this bill from 45 to 55%. It may be that this timendment which I now move is against the interest of the cotton manufacturers of my own section; it certainly is so aparently, and of course contrary to my own interest. it is shown in the report of the commissiofier that all the machinery o in this country is now being built abroad, except in cases where we have become familiar with certain styles of machines that foreigners have not yet been able to build. Of all other machinery foreigners today have the monop oly. I have in my hand a letter which. cates how this foreign machinery is introduced. It is not introduced as completed machinery, but as machinery in parts and portions as unmanufactured, though it is in fact manufac: tured ready to be put up. I have in my hand a letter from one of the pioneer manufacturers of machinery in this country; I do not believe he has his superior in the world; and by the indulgence of the Senate I will read to them some of his ideas: of“fTohreeigenximstaincghitnaer imff adkisecrrsi m" inates largely in favor
