Mr. HENDERSON. I must express some little astonishment at the proposition of the Senfrom Ohio to take up a bill of this importance and act upon it within an hour and 3 uarters of the close of this session. Certairily it is a very ungracious thing to vote ainst a proposition of this sort, especially where one is representing a constituency interested in it. I have no doubt that something ought to be don on this subject; but when the tariff bill was lgfore us the other day we concluded to postpone it until December, with a view of taking up the whole subject then and disposing of it as it ought to be disposed of; to let the ComFinance examine it, scru tinize it. as it deserves to be, and report to us a bill that will take care of the interests of the people in every section of the country. After avmg done that, I must express some little quarters. astonishment that a bill singling out one particular interest should be brought forward and Congress should be asked to take that one interest into consideration during the last few hours of the session. It'is not a sectional interest. NewEngland is interested in it. Vermont is, perha 5, one of the largest wool growing States of tie Union. I know that Ohio is interested in it. I know that Wisconsin is interested in it. I know that my own State is interested. But, sir, I do not think the people who are deeply interested in the growth of wool will expect us within 2 hours of the close of the session to mature a measure of this importance; and I do hope that Senators will not press a measure of such vast importance upon our consideration at this hour. It ought to be carefully examined by a committee and reported to this body. Now, sir, when you have secured this one interest I should like to know, when other interests are taken up next winter, how those interests can expect anythin more than simple stern justice at the hands 0 this particular interest that has already been protected. I think it is better to take them up altogether and consider them. I cannot understand this bill. It has not been printed, as I understand. It is a bill of ten pages, which has not been printed, and it is expected that we shall act upon a tariff measure on a mere, reading at the Secretary’s desk. Why, sir, such a thing is unheard of. It cannot be expected of Senators that we shall consider it.
