TO HAVE A DUTY ON HIDES
Republican Senator's So Decide in
Caucus Held Last Night.
ONLY ELEVEN OPPOSED
Did Not Pass Upon the Question of the
Amount of Duty to BE imposed
Senator Lodge Led the
Fight for Free Hides

Washington, June A.-The republican
senators decided in caucus tonight by
vote Of 22 to II, tu sustain the action
OF the finance committee in placing a
duty upon hides. but did not pass upon
the question of the amount Of the duty
imposed. The committee was also sus-
tained in the rate fixed upon imported
wrapper tobacco. The only other tispu-
ted questions considered were watches
and watch jewels. and upon these the
action OF the committee was reversed.
the house rates being accented on
watches and watch jewels being made
free.
While the discussion was spirited at
times, the meeting was without especial
incident. The greater part uf the time
was given To the proposition to fix "a
duty on hides. Senator Lodge led the
contest against the action of the finance
committee In taking hides from the free
list. and was seconded by Senators
Hoar, Plat, Spooner and others, while
Senator'S Nelson, Allison. Warren and
Gear spoke In favor OF the duty
Lodge contended that the duty, II Inn
posed. would add nothing To the farm
er's return on his cattle. while IL would
have the effect of greatly injuring the
Industry of leather manufacture" which
had crown to Immense proportions nm
der the system Of free hides. He said
that imports of leather amounted To
s20o00.000 per annum. and asserted that
if n stim duty should be- imposed the In
dustry would be- greatly checked. In
reply the Western senators claimed
that it would bc direct benefit to the
farmer and asserted that hr was as
much entitled To- the protection IL would
give as were the manufacturers To the
assistance they would receive from
other duties.
The vote was on the general PROPOSE
tion To impose duty without regard to
rates. The fixing of these. II was un-
derstood. should be- left 10 the finance
committee. but the expressions were so
general I'm favor of ad valorem rather
than the specific system. that the com
mittec will feel itself instructed to sub
stituie this system of the ~ cents per
pound rate originally agreed upon.
There was also general expression
against an increase on India sheep and
goat skins. which the manufacturers
regard as substantial victory.
There was only one vote raised In op-
position To the proposition to return Ia
the house schedule on watches and in
addition To admit watch Jewels free of
duty. The finance committee made a
uniform rate of 40 per cent. ON watches
I for which The house provided com
pound duty. II Is 10 this compound sys-
/ TEN that the senate returns.
. The questions OF reciprocity. trusts,
Hawaiian sugar. beer tea and internal
revenue were not discussed.
