THE TARIFF DEBATE.
The Senate at 1920 resumed consider.
alton of the tariff bill, Paragraphs 32l
and 322 were passed over informally.
Mr.. Vest offered an amendment to
paragraph 1923, (reterrinG to Hamburg
edgings) by adding the words meek
rufIling and ruching," but as Mr., Aid.
rich explained that that would increase
rather than reduce the duty on these
goods, he Withdrew 1t,
Mr.. Vance moved to amend the same
paragraph by reducing the rate from %
cents per pound and 10 per cent adva-
loren to 40 per cent advalorem.
In the debate upon this amendment,
Mr.. Hawley asked Mr.. Vance whether
there was any nation which had any ap.
proximately just system Of taxation,
and II not, which OF tho nations was
tho nearest right?
Mr.. Vance replied that the system. OF
taxation which was nearest right so far
as he was acquainted with them was the
English system.
Mr.. Hawley-That Is about the answer
which expected to get.
Mr.. vanCc-I SEQ what you call "the
true inwardness" Of your question. The
Objects that you may charge that we are
in the English interest; that we are fol-
lowing the English system that we are
foreigners to our own people. But
there never was agreater piece ot hypoc-
risy than this pretensC Of q dislike to
foreigners. You only dislike the for
eigner when he brings something 10 sell.
When he brings In a blanket or pair Of
shoes, oranything else cheaper than you
are willing to make and sellit, then you
despise the foreigner and appeal to all
kinds OF prejudice against him. But
when the foreigner comes home, to un.
derbid tho American workman and take
the bread out OF his mouth, you vel.
come him with open and hypoCrltical
embrace.
SHOWED THEIR HAND AT LAST.
Mr.. Hawley-1 have no personal rea-
son for disliking England or English.
men. l disbelieve in the English sys.
tenn Of taxation, and what l wanted was
TO ret one Democrat, II could not get
more, to ayow frankly the honest pur.
pose Of that party, that the adoption ol
free trade is the policy OF that party.
Not one time In fifty, on the stump OF
in the newspapers, were we able In the
last campaign TO get Democratic polit-
iCian or editor 10 tell the truth In
regard to the position OF theit
party. An avowed FREQ trade
meeting was held in Boston
tho other day glorliying the campaign,
clarifying the President Of tho United
States, glorifying every effort In behalf
Of FREQ trade, prophCsying glorious
future for II and the great progress TO be
nude underi II, All we ask OF the otliel
slde Is that they shall tell the truth
about the inevitable drift Of their party
that the whole world knows Including
themSelves) to be true, tbat they mean
to bring tho country TO the adoption o.
a system OF taxation that will tax only
articles OF universal consumption (praC
tically q poll taxi
Nir. Reagan also defended the Demo
cratic party from tho charge oil being
Free Trade party. The debate was con
tinued ut great length and participated
In by Senators Dawes, MCPGtAon, Gray
Vance, Coke and Morgan.
| Tho latter commented oil tho FREQ lis
contained In the substitute and argued
that tho Republican Senators who fe
ported this and sustained II were prt

Nj. iIOar asked Mr.. Morgan whethe
