the carpet-making industries. Others
opposed the amendment because they
thought it would delay the passage of
/ the bill. In replying TO MIR. HAwLEY
who represented the carpet-making
industries aud other manufactures of
WOODEN goods, MIR. SHERMAN said a
great injustice had been done him by
intimating that lac was seeking to in
iure the manufacturers of wooden
goods. The duties on such goods pro-
vided for in this bill were greater than
those reported by the tarifrcommission
and he had voted for them. II was the
manufacturers that had shown dissat-
isiaction with the report of the tariff
commission, and, having got the
changes made they desired in their
own interest, they were now indig-
nant because wool-producers also asked
fair protection.
Mr.. ALLISON argued that the bill as
1t stood made very fair adjustment of
the duties of wool and wooden
manufactures. He said
As 10 the class of wool which MIR. surR.
MAS : amendments would effect The impor.
tation of them was very small, the American
WOOL grower substantially controlling the
American market, and understanding that
our wool producers would have n protection
OF dJ per cent. under this bill he would not
vote 10 have II increased when such increase
must necessarily increase the cost of all man
uiacturod wo0len goods. He did not believe
senators could Justify their claim that they
We're reducing the burdens OF the people II
they should restore higher rates OF duty up
ON great schedule like this.

There Is more hope now Of its final
passage by the house than heretofore.
Its success, however, depends upon
the rules adopted for the transaction
of the pending business. If KAssoN's
rules is adopted it can be taken up
Immediately but if not it will have
to go on the calendar and await
the call. The prediction which
was made several days ago that the
hntIgp tuniIlI f,, -,,l,
bill for basis for its action was cor
rect one. The whole action by the
senate and house Republicans on the
taritl conceals some deep laid political
schemes. They haye rushed high
tariff measure through the senate,
knowing that the Democrats of the
house would be afraid to assemble at
the beginning of next session with
any hope for success in elect
ing II speaker without hay
ing taken some definite action on
the tariff question. The senate bill
pleases the Republicans, at least to
certain extent. II was the best they
could get and they voted for it, with
one exception. The house Republic
cans will accept it and the Democrats
VIII be forced to do the same or take
the risk of wrecking themselves next
summer IN the tariff campaign for the
speakership. See Again we are
brought face TO face with the force of
the remark: THE Democratic party
Is constantly doing something to inn
peril its success
