dustry be protected as we'll as the "shot gun"
industry?
Mr.. Bawley made remark to the effect
that Mr.. Mcpherson was as much mistaken
about that matter as he was about all other
tariff matters. That Senator ought to know
that Americans made the best rifles in the
world, made the best use of them and want
ed no additional protection.
'Let not the Senator from Connecticut
trouble himself about my Mistakes" said
Mr.. Mop herson.

Then, said Mr.. Vance in his usual drol
style, we make the best rihas In the world,
and therefore we only want 25 per cent.
protection. We make The best shot guns In
the world, and therefore we went ll5 per
cent. protection.
Mr.. BIair-The Senator should not make
such statement about shot gups, an article
of southern consumption Laughter.
