It has been said that this is a tariff item. and that it may not originate here in the Senate by way of amendment. A bill regulating immigration may yield some revenue. a bill concerning the disposal of our public lands may yield revenue. but they are not "bills for. raising revenue" in the contemplation of the Constitution. and therefore they may originate here. So if we could agree. and I hope we may agree before 10 oclock tonightrising above party. remembering what a great Democratic statesman said. that he serves his party best who serves his country bestif we could remember and be influenced by that wise utterance and lay aside all partisanship. if we could agree as to these four items that they are purely revenueraising items rather than protective in the sense of a protective tariff. could not the Senator join in letting these four items remain in the bill as revenueraising items?
