The question of limiting the debate

the leaders of the two parties held in
front of the speakers desk. 1t was
decided to close the debate at o'clock,
half of the time to be given to each
side. Mr.. Reed was given control of
the time of the republican side and
Mr.. Wilson for the democrats.
Mr.. Dingley was given fifteen min
utes. Contending against the asser-
tions that large importations benefited
the country he said that if $500, o00 COO
worth of goods were brought into this
country it was dcpriving American
manufacturers of sale of that amount
and stopped work TO just that extent
Mr.. Hatch dem, Mo- spoke in favor
of free wool. Whenever the tariff on
wool had been raised American woods
declined in price, he said

operation Of the wool schedule to take

Mr.. Cannon rep, Ill asserted that
wool had been as cheap in this coun-
try since the LIST of last June as it
could be bought in Australia.
Mr.. Cochran dem, n. ~ held
that the Importation of $780,
600, 600 worth of goods could
not occur unless we manufac-
tured that much to pay for them. lie
said that the importation of
$3.50, 600, 900 worth of goods meant
the expectation of an equiv
alent amount in goods or money.
lie argued that if the amount
of goods had been imported 1t must
have been because they were cheaper
than they could be bought here. and
that consequently we must have got
more goods for the S250,00o,
900 expended than If we had
manufactured $3.50, 00O, 900 worth our
selves. And if we import more goods
we must manufacture more goods to
meet it and pay for it. IF any gentle
man over there has any suggestion to
make would like to hear it," said Mr..
Cochran. He paused for reply and
mono coming he continued 1--WE want
to manufacture goods and demand
tribute from all the people of the
world.
