So (two-thirds voting in favor thereof) the 

 rules were suspended; and the bill (H. E. No. 

 174) was passed. 



In the House, on March 27th, Mr. Hibbard, 

 of New Hampshire, offered the following reso- 

 lutions : 



Resolved, 1. That the financial policy which aims 

 merely at a rapid extinguishment of the public debt 

 by perpetuating the burdens of taxation is inexpe- 

 dient and impolitic ; and that the faith and credit of 

 the Government depend on the development of the 

 resources of the country, and their relief from inordi- 

 nate taxation. 



2. That economy requires that the annual taxation 

 should not exceed two hundred and fifty millions of 

 dollars, including interest, and twenty-five millions 

 principal of the public debt. 



3. That the tariff should be so reformed as to be a 

 tax for revenue only, and not for the protection of 

 class interests at the general expense. 



4. That, in case this session adjourns without the 

 appointment of the Ways and Means Committee, a 

 special committee of seven be appointed to consider 

 and report upon the reform of the revenue, and also 

 report such oill or bills as will embody a revenue 



tariff without discriminating in favor of particular in- 

 i; and in case said Committee of Ways 



and 



Means be appointed at this session, that then said 

 Committee of Ways and Means shall perform the 

 duties required by this resolution. 



Mr. Eldridge, of Wisconsin, moved to lay the 

 resolutions on the table, saying that he did so 

 " to get a test-vote."
