had never seen anything in connection
with tho Coxey movement that war
ranted congress in taking the slightest
heed Of 1t, when the morning hour ex-
pired and Harris insisted on going ahead
with the tariff bill.
When the tariff bill was laid before the
senate Galiinger offered an amendment of

cerning tariff operations between this
country and Canada. Other senator's ex.

As the senate was now on the chemicals
schedules. Lodge suggested that tho re-
plies on this subject received by the finance
committee 70 its inquiries should be
placed at the disposal Of the senate.
Vest said the printing of these replies
had been stopped because 1t Was found
that many Of them were offensive.

plies from business men concern Ing this
bill could DO otherwise than offensive.
Vest explained that the replies were of
fensive to the senators personally; per-
sonai abuse was INDUCED in. For him
self. he cared nothing about such abuse.
Chandler congratulated the Missouri
senator. His hide, Mr.. Chandler said, had
become thick. or perhaps he had creased
himself 90 that criticism ran off him like
water from ducks back.
Harris attempted to offer resolution
that the senate meet at 10 o'clock until

patience, ''that the senator from New
Hampshire 10 responsible for this un-
founded statement about stopping this
publication. He had better be sure OF his
facts before he comes in here with state

emphasis. 81 have always respected the
senator from Indiana" Voorhees, made
no reply.
