Danger OF Eliminating 1t From the
Tariff RiIt.

Washington. d. c., June 9.-The Re
publican members Of the Finance Com
mittee will withdraw the amendments
for an additional tax on beer and for
the duty Of 10 cents a pound on tea. The
pressure for the withdrawal Of these
amendments has been very great, and
many Republican Senators have made
decided stands against them. The for
mai action Of the committee on the sub
Ject has not been taken, but the deter
mination has been rea ached The MEM
bers Of the committee are still in doubt
as to what shall be done with increa ses
on tobacco In the internal revenue par.
or the BILL but there has been great
pressure to have these taxes reduced
The question of revenue Is giving the
committee considera bic concern, and if
there should be a withdrawal OF the
increases on tobacco, as we'll rs those
on beer and tea, the bill would not
meet the needs Of the government as a
revenue producer. For This reason It has
been practically determined to make a
pank check stamp tax. and the question
of additional revenue by means Of a
system OF stamp taxes on beer has been
under consideration

denounced the pending measure as
grossly and palpably inequitable, be-
cause 1t compelled the sale'bf the pro-
ducts Of the soil in the lowest market
Of the world, and the purchase Of manu-
factured articles in the highest market
10 the original doctrine which contem-
plated the protection Of manufactures
he still subscribed. The trouble was
that agriculture which, at the begin
ming was ready to support the manufac-
lures struggling for existence had fallen
far In the rear. The only ground upon
which the doctrine OF protection could
stand was that It protected the labor Of
this country from the wolfish pauper la
Dor of the world. But how could any
one contend for protection to the labor
Of the shops and mills, and deny 1t to
the labor Of the fields? The farmer
competed with the world. If this bill
was not just the country would be
plunged again next year into the agony
Of a tariff legislation If it was Just it
might endure.
Mr.. Cannon said he hoped that il
might endure with Slight notifications
for many years, because this country
was waiting for the settlement OF a
greater question than this. The propo-
sition offered by him for export bounties
on agricultural staples, he said, was first
called to his attention by David Lubin.
at the meeting Of the Trans mississippi
Congress three years ago He had
opposed it then, but found he had been
wrong.
Mr. Cannon spoke until shortly before
. O'Clock and was followed by Mr.. But
Ter, OF North Carolina, who spoke
against the heavy burdens the bill
placed upon the farmer.
at $50 p. m. the bill was laid aside.
