House Bond Debate Delays Final Passage
A conference between Speaker Reed and house managers set the bond bill to debate until tonight with voting anticipated tomorrow. The plan includes separate votes on a $50,000,000 hand debt and an unlimited pause while ensuring the bill does not retire greenbacks. The rule for debate faced Democratic objections, and the measure moved to the committee of the whole for consideration after Dinsley reported the bill amended by the Ways and Means Committee.

Senate Tariff Bill Sparks Debate On Duties And Finance
In Washington on December 7 the Senate discussed a tariff bill proposed by Senator Burrows of Michigan. The measure aims to place several articles on the free list with duties set at 60 percent under the law of 1900, while the House previously passed duties on the dutiable list. Senator Sherman argued it violates revenue origins in the Senate, and Burrows offered it as an amendment to the finance bill. The resolution to accept a rejected ship the Kathadin faced debate, ultimately adopted after objections were withdrawn. A separate resolution by Senator Hill sought bonds payable in gold or standard silver with a cap of 3 percent interest. Teller questioned the motive and warned against undermining U S credit. The session adjourned to Monday.
