have no intention Of keeping it.
An International Conference
How nice it sounds. And, yet,
AL know, as well as those who
made it, as those to whom it is
made, that if they even go
throagh the mockery of an Inter

power in our nation will send to

who, at best, will only be able to

of our silver-produoing country.
Hope has no seat of empire in

have the wages Of Welsh workingmen
been so increased as to make .competi-
ton with them easier. The whole fact
is that it was possible for American
capital and American labor to take
control of the tin plate business with
that it chose The offer of subsidy
collected from the people tempted it
by the offer of illegitimate profit. Mil
lions rushed into the business, and that
protection. There have been collected
from the people of this country, since
1891, tens of millions of dollars, which
were handed over to capital for the
ton which already offered it a hand
some profit.
The difficulty of proving a negative
renders it Improbable to discuss what
might or might not have happened had
no tariff been placed on tin plates.
What could have happened, as the
facts prove is that the American man
ufacturer, under a system Of absolute
free trade, could have taken control of
the American market, as he has done
today, under industrial conditions that
have not changed in any way to our
advantage. We can make tin plate in
this country, just as we can make all
forms of manufactures of iron and
steel, more advantageously than any
other nation in the world; and cannot
only hold command of our own mar
ket, but can sell those products abroad
in fierce competition with the foreign
manufacturer If there is in this any
"vindication'' of the protective policy
we fail to discover it.

SENATE SESSION.
An Adjournment Taken Until
Wednesday by That Body.

WASHINGTON, March 8.-Most Of
the new senators were on the floor
when Vice President Hobart called the
senate to order at noon today. The
other senator's were not SO prompt In
making their appearance. The gal
leries, save that reserved for the diDlo-
matte corps, were thronged with
curious visitors. AS soon as the blind
chaplain had delivered his Invocation
Mr.. Pruden, the presidents executive
clerk, appeared with tOdays nomina-
ton of pension agent at Detroit.
Some routine business was transact
ed before the senate went into execl1-
tive session. Mr.. Elkins (Rep., w. Val
presented long memorial from the
legislative assembly of New Mexico
praying for certain mining legislation.
and Mr.. Carter (Rep., Mont) a series
of memorials from the legislature of his
state. in favor of the passage Of the
postal savings BILL and in favor Of u
constitutional amendment providing
for the election Of United States sem
ators by the people, and also in favor
of the government management Of the
Union Pacific railway
The last communication II ex-Sacre-
tary Lamont, dated March 5, transmit
ting certain papers called for by q
resolution of inquiry, was laid before
the senate. The vice president sub
nitted some resolutions Of the New
York chamber of commerce praying for
the early ratification and passage Of
the arbitration treaty. At 1912 o. m
on motion of Mr.. Burrows (Rep., Mich.)
the senate went into executive session.

SENATE CONTROL.
Vexed Problem of the ReOrgnniza-
ton Not Yet Settled.


WASHINGTON, March S.-All par
ties in the senate devoted considerable
time today to the solution of the prob
lem involved in the filling of the SEN
ate committees. The Republican COM
mlttee on the situation appointed as
the result Of Saturdays caucus and the
Democratic steering committee both
held meetings during the day. The
Democrats decided upon nothing ex-
cept to call a caucus for tomorrow
afternoon. The silver men and Popu-
lists were also in conference.
No definite conclusion was reached
by either organization and none IS
probable on the part of the other par
ties until after the Democrats decide
upon q line of action. 1t still looks
as if the Democrats would have no
difficulty in making a coalition with
the silver Republicans and Populists
for the control Of the committees, but
they are in doubt whether such a com
bination would be wise They have
been thinking over the proposition and
many Of them feel that while the COM
bination could be brought to work
tremendously on silver it is doubtful
whether they could agree upon a
tariff policy. There are several intri
cate points which cannot be satisfac.
torily adjusted quickly. There is a
the more conservative members Of both
the Republican and the Democratic
ranks to allow the present organization
to stand, giving the Democrats a slight
increase over the Republicans in the
new committee appointments
There has been more or less discus
sion also as to the admission of men
from Kentucky, Florida and Oregon.
-Four years ago Senator Pasco was ad-
mitted on the appointment Of the gov
ernor of Florida in an exactly similar
case, and it Is believed Mr.. Henderson
will be admitted without opposition on
the same precedent
In the case Of the other states it will
be claimed that they are in all respects
similar to the case of the Montana,
Washington and Wyoming cases three
years ago, when the senators were
refused admission on the appointment
or the governor. 1t is said, however
that, in the case of Oregon, the failure
OF the house to perfect it's organiza-
ton may present a different PROPOSE
ton. 1t is also claimed that while the
vote Of three years ago was a prece-
dent, 1T did not settle the question for
ali time, and that each senator is 4

ARBITRATION CALLED UP

CONSIDERATION.
SENATE CONTROL STILL IN DOUBT.
Democrats Able to Form a COmbina-
ton, But Doubtful Regarding
Such Course.

WASHINGTON, March Sin execu-
tive session today Senator Davis, chair
man of the foreign relations committee,
offered a resolution referring back to
the committee the treaty of arbitra
ton, and it was agreed to. At the close
OF session of congress pending legis-
latlon, which has not been acted upon
fails. In the case of the treaty, how
ever, it remains as it came to the sem
ate from the president, but all pend
ing amendments offered in the senate
or proposed by the committee failed
and have to be reoffered.
AS soon as Senator Davis had offered
his motion to refer the treaty back to
the committee, Senator Morgan raised
the point that this could not be done.
There was considerable discussion as to
the parliamentary status of the treaty,
and after it had been explained the
resolution of Senator Davis was adopt
ed without division
A meeting of the foreign relations
committee has been called for Wednes-
day at u o'clock, at which time the
treaty will be considered. At present
there are two vacancies on the COM
mittee, both on the Republican side,
but it is believed that it will make
no difference in regard to the strength
of the treaty in committee. Senator
Sherman voted for and Senator Cam
eron against reporting the treaty, so
the vote will be relatively the same
when the matter comes to test. OPP
ponents Of the treaty in the senate
say there will be a great deal of dis
cussion before the treaty can pass, no
matter if the committee again amends
it as before.
