Hanna of Ohio and Spooner of Wiscon-
sin were especially vigorous in their
opposition to the increased tax on beer.
1t was pointed out that the Democrats
had already stated their opposition to
this tax; that they thought it would
be wise to have an arrangement ef-
fected which would relieve Republican
Senators from embarrassment. 1t was
determined that efforts should be made
to secure the revenue both from beer
and tea by a tax, which would accom-
plish the same result.
Western Senators referred to the
wool schedules. Senator Warren OF
Wyoming, appearing as the spokesman
for the wool growers of the West, SAID
that the duties proposed by the COM
mittee were, in his judgment, made
quate, and he thought there should be
some increase on the lines of the
amendments proposed by the Western
Senators.
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts
spoke against the duty on hides, say

posed placing hides on the free llst
This statement raised a storm among
Western men, who said if such

compelled to vote for placing certain
articles on the free list or for reducing
them They did not expect that the
Democrats would vote with them to
increase duties The Westerners an

people purchased and did not produce
1t was this state of affairs that brought
forth the proposition of Senator Bur
rows to submit proposed changes to the
Republican members of the Finance
Committee and then to caucus. There
was no talk of boiling, and no Senator
said he would vote against the bill as
a whole 1t was on the matter OF
schedules that they disagreed.
The question of abrogating the Ha-
waiian treaty caused a lively debate.
Senator Aldrich stated that the COM
mittee intended to bring in an amend
ment to this portion of the bill.
Senator Frye opposed its abrogation
in the strongest possible terms, While
Senator Nelson of Minnesota made
vigorous speech in support of the COM
mittee amendment, declaring that the
revenue which would be raised from
the duty on Hawaiian sugar would be
greater than that which the committee
expected to get from tea. He declared
that the admission of Hawaiian sugar
free was in the interest of the sugar re-
finers. and consumers received no bene-
fit from it.
