WILLIAMS ASSAILS
EFFECT OF TARIFF

John Sharp Williams. Democratic
House leader, concluded today the
speech on the tariff. which he began
yesterday. 1t was tho great Democratic
tariff utterance of tho session. an at
tack especially on tho policy of a tariff
that enables the manufactures to exact
higher prices at home than he can and
does abroad. a defense of the Demo
cratic program for revenue only.
Mr.. Williams said the usual eXplana
don OF the CHI aper sale of goods abroad
Than AZ home was that the manufac-
turers dunn their surplus abroad at
low prices 70 get new markets
our objection" be said, is first
that they never dump them at home Mt
these low prices. We would like 70 see
some Of these cheap things dumped here
al the low prices Then there IS the
theory also OF dumping SURPRISES abroad
But We have found that dumping IN
practice has been done abroad by an
agreement OF American manufacturers
in an organized way always with ref
erence 10 maintaining the high prices at
home. Yet IL Is we'll known that the
home demand would increase and absorb
what surplus may exist. II the home de-
mand was stimulated by the lower prices
that are made 10 the foreign trade.
You've got TO defend this system or
else destroy il. YOU We got 10 defend 1t
or else reduce the tariff 70 such a point
that II will not shelter the manufacture
in exporting the American consumer

In "Recollections and Letters of Gen.
eral Robert e. Lee" Captain II. Il. LIE
describes his fathers return to private
life after the surrender Of Appomat-
tox. He says:
"a day o. two after the surrender
General Lee started for Richmond, rid
Ing Traveller, who had carried him so
well all through the war. He was ac-
companied by some Of his staf. On
the way he stopped at the house OF
his eldest brother, Charles Carter Lee,
who lived on the upper James, In Pow
hatan county. He spent the evening In
talking with his brother. but when
bedtime came, though begged by his
host to take the room and bed pre-
pared for him, he insisted on going to
his old tent, pitched by the roadside,
and passed the night In the quarters
that he was accustomed to. On April
10 he arrived In Richmond. The peo-
pie there soon recognized him. Men,
women and children crowded around
him, cheering and waving hats and
handkerchiefs. II was more like the
welcome to n conQueror than to a de-
feated prisoner on parole. He raised
his hat in response to their greeting
and rode quietly to his home on Frank
lin street, where my mother and Sis
tiers were ~anxiously awaiting him.
Thus he returned to that private fami-
ly life for which he had always longed
and became what he always desired to
be-a peaceful citizen in q peaceful
land"
