| bitterly satirical character We're indulged
in by Senator Chandler, Republican of New
Hampshire and Hale, Republican of Maine
The former spoke of the protective duty
on collars and cuffs being from so to 125 per
cent. Mr.. Hale thought the Senator from
New York (Murphy) should be praised for
the self-restraint he had shown in not in
sisting on fair measure of protection for
hundreds and thousands of industries in
his own state, confning himself to a COM
parativaly small industry of collars and
cuffs in his own city of Troy. That the
Senator. knew he had power to exact greater
conditions by far than he had done. The

| 43, nays 5. The next reserved vote was
on the schedule ''K'' of wool and manufac-
| lures OF wool. The committee amendment
| striking out of the bill paragraph 27S, put
| ting a duty of 15 per cent ad valorem on

division. Mr.. Sherman, Republican of
| Ohio, moved to insert a paragraph putting
duty of 80 per cent ad valorem. Mr..
| Sherman said there had been no opposi-'
| tion on the part of wooden manufacturers
| to reasonable duty on wool. Mr.. Hoar,
Republican of Massachusetts, asked Mr..
| Sherman if he knew of anything the New
England Senator could door anything the
New England Senator had failed to do that
would have kept up duty on wool. Mr..
Sherman was glad to say every representa-
tive of manufacturing states on the Repub-
ican side of the chamber, every Republican
Senator had from the beginning of the con-
troversy to this hour, been in favor of Civ
ing to the farmer his share of protection on
wool. The interests of the wool grower
| and of the wool manufa cturer were identi-

ment would be adopted. It is the deadliest

strike at manufacturing interests.
