EXPLAINED BY ALDRICH.
Senate Tariff Bill Formally Laid Be-
fore the Body.

fore the Body.
Mr. President-The business of the entire
country is in a state of suspension waiting the
action of the senate upon the bill under con-
sideration.
1 believe that the anxiety to secure action
upon this important measure at the earliest
possible day is shared by every member Of the
senate. I can say for the senators sitting
on this side of the chamber, that no time will
be spent in academic discussion of the prin-
ciples Of protection.
1t is my purpose to keep the bill con-
tiruously before the senate, to the exclusion
of all other legislative business, until 1t is
finally disposed Of and in this shall expect
the hearty cooperation Of senators on both
sides of the chamber In the discussion of
the bill the members of the majority of the
committee will content themselves with such
brief explanations may be found necessary
for the various paragraphs as they are
reached.
1t seems desirable that at the beginning Of
this discussion the majority OF the finance
committee should present to the senate in
detail their estimate Of the effect which the
bill will have upon the revenue, and that they
should explain in general way the character
of the amendments they have suggested.
The majority of the committee believe that
II thorough revision OF our revenue laws,
such as is contemplated by the house bill,
is necessary, 1t should be carried out in q
conservative spirit, and that such moderate
and reasonable measure should be adopted as
will insure a much greater degree Of pefma-
nence to our tariff legislation. Frequent revis-
ions Of the tariff are productive of long periods
of uncertainty and arrest development The
radical change In policy in 1893 proved disas-
trous to the business interests Of the country.
1t was, I believe, thoroughly understood
throughout the country IN the last political
campaign that If the republican party should
be again entrusted with power no extreme
tariff legislation would follow It was be-
lieved that in the changed conditions of the
country return to the duties imposed by
the act of 1890 would not be necessary even
from protective standpoint.
1t was with these facts constantly in view
that the majority Of the finance committee
prepared the amendments which they have
submitted for your consideration. Nothing
could be more conducive to the return and
maintenance Of real prosperity in this coun-
try than the well-grounded belief that there
were to be no violent changes In our revenue
policy for some years to come. The true
friends of a protective policy do not insist up

the homeless Not less than 120 homes
were swept away and tonight several
hundred men are at work on a new
levee. They threw up an embankment
on Third street to try and check the
advance of the water, which is rum
ming over one Of the international
street railway bridges. The splash of
the walls of houses as they crumble
and fall is mingled tonight with the
cries Of frightened women and children
who are driven from their homes. Peo-
pie residing. in the lower part of the
city are leaving their homes and NOV
ing to the foothills of Mount Franklin
Several hundred families are now
housed in freight cars standing in the
sea Of water. Should the improvised
levee on Stanton street break tonight
the water will flood the business por-
ton of the city. The ringing Of the
fire bell this morning saved the lives
Of many people who were asleep,
ignorant Of their danger.

early Friday morning. but the fog that
settled down over the ocean three
hours later swallowed them up, and
when, after three days of waiting, it
lifted, no trace of the men could be
seen. Sunday morning, there being no
trace Of the boats, course was set for
Provincetown. During this time the
three men on the schooner were with
out sleep and they reached here nearly
exhausted. A number of old fishermen
here are of the opinion that the men
will be seen again, either being picked
up or rowing to the main land of Nova
Scotia, almost 200 miles distant AS
to the probability of the men being
picked up it is acknowledged that
steamers during this portion of the
year take a more southerly course to
avoid the ice, and the men when last
seen were some distance north of the
so-called steamer line. Another fisher
man may, however, rescue the missing
men,

observe are simply the figures to Q,
inclusive, reversed) by 45 gives Al, IA,
AL, 445. reversing the order of the
digits and multiplying l23i567S9 by IS
We get a result equally curious, viz, s.
5j5, ,555, sos. If we take l2Si5G7S9 as
the multiplicand and interchanging
the figures in - so as to make them
read 81, use the last number as multi
plier and the result will be 6,666, ,666,

Returning to the multiplicand 9S765-
1921 and taking "a as the multiplier
again, the result will be s., 3S3, ,333, S34-
all 3s except the first and last figures,
which together read 54-the multiplier.
Taking the same multiplicand and y,
the half of 81, as the multiplier, the
product is %, ,G66, ,G66, ,6G7, all 6s except
the first and last figures, which togeth-
er read 27-the multiplier. Now in
