Inc conference amendment emitting
from the free list scientific books and
periodicals, brought out sarcastic speech
from Mr.: Vest. The derided Democracy
nad In the Wilson bill placed paintings,
statuary and scientific books on the free
people by inviting to this country the
best productions of art and science.
Now, however, the G. o. P, the party
OF culture, refinement and progress took
tne backward track and attempted to ex-
clude these articles.
The reciprocity amendment occasoned
lengthy debate. Mr.. Teller inquired why
the PRESIDENT had been restricted to two
years In making reciprocity treaties.
sired TO have our commercial relations de-
nnlJely established within reasonable le
tlme. 1t was believed this could be ac-
compl1shed within two years.
MT. Teller said his first thought was
tnat the committee were afraid to trust
the next President. Mr.. White criticised
the provision that reciprocity treaties
shall be approved by Congress-" Con-
gress had the power to raise or lower du-
ties without waiting to approve treaty
and he declared that this provision would
arouse criticism on the mental ability of
the CongressEenacting 1t.
Mr.. Allison explained that Congress
had no means of negotiating with for
eign governments SO that treaty was
essential before any reciprocity plan of
tariff reduction could be executed. The
conference amendments striking out the
Senate provision for stamp on bond s
and stocks also led to discussion. In an
swer to inquiries, Mr.. Allison said the
point had been raised that an excise tax
must be levied on class Of of articles as
a whole while the Senate amendment
expressly excepted bonds Of building as
sociations and other classes of bonds.
This objection was 1elt to be we'll taken
and the bond provision was abandoned.
Mr.. Allen declared that this was anoth-
er humble submission to the money
power.
Mr.. Morgan asserted that there was
many reasons beyond the one assigned for
the abandonment of the bond tax. The
main influence was the favoritism shown
to capital. 1t was this favoritism which
was making converts to the Populist
party.
Another influence was the sugar trust
which had been instrumental in having
the bond tax abandoned, as it would
effect the tremendous stock transfers of
the trust.
The formal reading Of the conference
report was completed at 5.25 and the Sem
pate at once went into executive session,
adjourning soon after.
A Vote Friday Probably.
Washington, July 21.-When the Senate
adjourned today the understanding was
general that the final vote would be
taken on the conference report on the
tariff bill not later than Friday, but
there was no formal agreement to this
effect.

Vancouver, July 21.-There is great ex-
citement in British Columbia owing to
the fact that Canadians are making moth
ing out of the fabulous finds in their own
country. Live Americans have been the
pioneers in the Canadian Yukon as well
as at Kootenai. Prominent men and the
press are demanding that the Dominion
government place customs officials at the
Canadian passes. At present Americans
are paying no duty, and are getting
their goods in Seattle and other American
towns, to the great loss of British Column

A long discussion followed on the pow
ers of a conference committee. Mr. Nor
gan argued that the committee had ex-
ceeded it's powers and that it could
not arrogate to itself the right to origin
ate amendments. The Senator branched
off to the partianship of the bill The
man who would lift the tariff out of poll
tics, he said, would be another Thomas
jefferson as benefactor to his country.
The present bill was framed on purely
partisan lines declared Mr.. Morgan. and
was designed to give benefits to party
favorites. The Senator reviewed in de-
tail the action of the Republican mem
bers of he ways and means committee
and of the finance committee, and OF the
conference committee in excluding Dem
ocratic members. Mr.. Morgan was IN
volved in several sharp colloquys with
Mr.. Gear of Iowa. who pointed out that
the Wilson bill had been considered IN
the same way. Mr.. Morgan referred TO
the reports 'sthat the splendid and pond
erous speaker of the House OF Represen-
tatiyes had secured House victory on
the suear schedule The Senator thought
there must be some mistake about the
Speakers success, for Notwithstanding
his ponderosity the harder he sits down
on thing the higher it rises; notwith-
schedule, up go the prices. If he can't
work the safety valve better than that
he had better retire from politics.
Vice President Hobart then announced
his decision on the point of order, hold
ing that it was not well taken. 1t was
not. he said, for the Chair to determine
whether the matter in conference report
was new or was relevant. All such ques-
tions We're for the Senate itself, on the
question of accepting or rejecting the re-
port.
TIE reading of the report proceeded.
When the mendment relating to hides
was reached, Mr. Allen of Nebraska,
asked why the conferees had provided
draw back OF duty on leather exported,
made from imported hides.
Mr.. Aldrich explained that the House
had insisted on the provision and he felt
that the drawback was payable under the
law without reference to this provision ::
He thought about $500, 900 to $3.50, 600 of
revenue would be obtained from the duty
on hides and probably about half OF this
would be paid in drawbacks, Mr.. Allen
OF Nebraska spoke against the bill as a
whole, and incidentally referred to tne nt
present coal strike. contrasting it WIN

Swapping Free Hides For Dutiable Sugar.
1.-THE senate tariff bill as a whole, -
says ex Congressman John De Witt
Warner, "is a notice to eastern manu-.
facturers Of what they may hereafter
expect Hitherto they have considered
protection as sort Of providential ar
rangement by which they were enabled
to feed on the rest Of the country Now,
like Polonius in Hamlet, they are in
vited by "a certain convocation of politio
worms to supper not where they eat,
but where they are eaten. The manu-
facturers of New England, New York
and Pennsylvania are to take their turn
at being muloted for the benefit Of 9th
ers who now control legislation. This
applies especially to the hide schedule. "
Cannot the New England senators
secure favorable changes in THAT sched-
ule2"
II think not. The bill as it stands is
satisfactory to the Sugar trust and prob
ably cannot be kept 30 except by tho
votes controlled by the Cattle trust Of
the west We're the New England sona-
tors willing to risk offending tho Sugar
trust, they could doubtless defeat the
duty on hides, but the fact Is that Bos.
ton and Providence, in proportion to
their size, are far more thoroughly sat
urated with Sugar trust influences than
Is any other part Of the country and,
however much Senators Aldrioh, Wet.
more, Hoar and Lodge may bowail tho
fate Of their boot and shoe manufac-
turers, there is no prospect whatever
that they will sacrifice tho Sugar trust
interests TO help them. "
