The tariff debate began on May -,
which day Mr.. Aldrich, in behalf of the
finance committee, made the opening state
ment on the bill. The actual consideration
of the bill began the next day, May 70,
when schedule A. relating to chemicals,
was taken up. The debate has been con-
tinuOuS since then covering six weeks and
one day. 1t has been notable in some re-
spects, although it has lacked many of the
dramatic and oratorical features marking
past debates. From the outset the advo-
Gates of the bill refrained from set
speeches, and the discussion mar
rowed to a consideration of rates and
schedules. rather than general principles.
Mr.. Aldrch'S illness took him from the
chamber after the first day, and since then
the bill has been in immediate charge CT
Mr.. Allison.
The opposition has been directed in the
main by Mr.. Jones (Ark) and Mr.. Vest
(Mo.), while Senators White, Caffrey. Cray
and Allen have frequently figured in the
debate The bill it goes back to the
House re-enacts the antitrust sections of
the Wilson act, while the reciprocity and
retalatory provisions are substitutes for
those of the House. One of the most i'm
portant new provisions added by the Sem
ate is that placing stamp tax on bonds,
debeEtureS and certificates of stock. Aside
from these more important changes, the
bill IL goes back to the House has S74
amendments of various degrees of i'm
portance, which must be reconciled he
tween the two branches of Congress
