When the tariff bill was laid before
the senate Mr.. Lodge took the floor
with an argument against free wool
MIR. Teller Rep, OF Colorado fol-
lowed Mr.. Lodge with some remarks in
favor OF duty on raw wool. in the
course Of his speech he read state
ment from the New York Tribune to
the eject that the senatorial auctions
GERS" In order TO save the sugar sched-
ule and pass their bills had traded OF
prOnibitory duties on cotton and wool
ems.
Reduced Wages Predicted.
Mr., Vest Joined Mr.. Aldrieh in an en-
phatic denial that there had
been any bargains to obtain
prohlbitory duties. Later. while
discussing the reduction OF the
rates on woolens Mr.. Hawley
Of Connecticut interrupted MIR. Teller
to remark that these reductions would
result inevitably In lowering the wages
of the operatives 80 or 40 per cent.
"Elther reduction of wages or the
manufacturers would quit"
They will not quit" replied Mr..
Teller. They have too much
capital involved. They will re-
auee wages and operatives faced
18th starvation, Will stand the
reduction. Men who live by their labor
cannot make successful contest
against capital"

lives OF the great wooden manufactur-
ing states in the country. indorsed the
