Tariff debates and House actions shape early month session
In the Senate on the 22nd Bayard introduced a petition to curb railway discrimination while Cameron pressed petitions from Pennsylvania iron workers against tariff cuts. Logan favored regulation of telegraph and cable firms and Plumb pushed a public lands act. The Tariff Bill faced amendments on lumber and a Seaborn plan. Ingalls and Van Wyck maneuvered to separate lumber types, and the amendment passed. House actions included copyrights for writers and anti bigamy measures, a Census Bureau appropriation, and naval and tariff considerations. On the 23rd and 24th, pension, tariff, and naval bills continued, with debates over metals schedules and ship construction, and eulogies for Senator Hill marked the days.
