In schedule "D"; wood and man
ufactures of wood; Of which the to-
tai imports are less than Is mill
ions; there are.reductions affecting
about two-thirds of the: schedule.
The reductions in the schedule
average less than 10 per cent, how
ever and are limo sense aemenace
to the interests Of the lamber trust:
This is .Aldrich's answer to the de-
mand Of the country for free .lum-

:; Schedule '"E'' which embraces
sugar, molasses and manufactures
thereof, also shows the character Of
reductions" which have been al
lowed by Aldrich. and his ''asso-
ciates.'' The value Of the total i'm
ports under this schedule in 1907.
was $21, 65e,0O0. The Aldrich bill
re-enacts the Dingley duties on
$2l. $4,000 Of the imports. The
balance of imports under this
schedule of $l16;000, represent the
total amount of refined white sugar:
that, found a way to market in this
country in spite Of practically
prohibitive duty of 1.95 cents per
pound under the Dingley law.
That duty is :'reduced",.' by .05
cents in the pending bill: This re-
duction is too smallto be measurable
to the consumer and if he were to-
receive the benefit oft in a cor
responding reduction Of the price
Of sugar, his benefit in a year, &C.
cording to the average per capita
consumption of sugar, would
amount to the princely sum of four
cents This reduction in SEIZED
ule "E' applies to about one-half
of one per cent of the 'importations
under that schedule and amounts to
only, about g. per- cent. on, that to
which it.. applies. This is one OF
the, reductions, which made Mr..
Fordney ~"sweat blood -wherefore
Cannon put him on the conference.
