Defeat of the Democrats and tariff debate in Senate
The Senate met in Washington with little morning business and took up the tariff amendment on hoop iron and cotton ties. Debates tied to the Democrats' defeat in the last election and civil service policy dominated. The tariff vote ended with 18 yeas to 23 nays on the amendment, as broader discussions led to discussion of direct tax funding and refunds. The House later passed the direct tax bill after lengthy debate as lawmakers reported the bill to the chamber.
