SENATOR FRYE's OBJECT LESSON.
Mr.. Frye gave an object-lesson Of the
benefits of protection. lie mentioned the
case Of mOhair plushes which Few years
ago had been produced entirely abroad.
a couple of New England manufacturers
atcly there was cut Of l5 per cent in
tho foreign price. followed by another cut
Of 10 per cent, and within year after by
another OF l5-making a reduction OF 40
per cent, in order TO Kill off American
competition. The Americans were not
men. and would not yield. They
invented new dyes, better than those
sed abroad; and then they introduced the
-e of the power loom at cost Of $4,000,
.ar the making Of these mOhair pushes.
Z rom that time up TO one year ago they
ran their min on full time. and made q
fair proht, and six other mills came into
existence in the United States. And the
result was that the people of the United
states were buying mOhair pushes at 80
per cent. less than they bought them
Tor when there were no plush mills I'm the
rff
crs we're supplying nine-tenths Of an the
m0hair pushes used In the United states
Was not that ObJect-lesson Mr.. FRYE
asked. perfectly plain 10 everybody?

so Mr. Quay took the floor. and read a
small section Of his endless speech.

SIR Harris. who asked unanimous con-
sent that after speech by Mr. Aldrich
tomorrow the further discussion OF the
wool schedule should be under the five
minute rule. II turned out that Senators
Lodge. Piatt and Teller desired 10 speak
tomorrow on the wool schedule, and
did not wish 10 be restricted 10 five or ten
and Mr. Chandler gave a ludi-
crous touch 20 the conoquy by proposing
that the debate tomorrow should be
under the flve-minute rule. but that any
Senator who desired 10 speak for a longer
time should be AZ liberty 70 do so.
Finally Mr. Harris said that he was
raising no question about intentional de-
lay. The thing which he complained Of
was the delay itself That was the mis-
fortune Of the Senatt and OF the country.
lie gave notice that he would repeat his
request tomorrow, and hoped that Il
" ould meet with better success than it
had met with to-day.
