ODer Tariff
In The Senate
Not Pledged to Re.
Uise Downward
Says Aldrich

WASHINGTON, Apil 23.-Before
the adjournment for the day yesterday
the senSte had reached the end of the
metal schedules of the tariff bill and
this morning began with the lumber
parag graphs. Only 6S pages of the bill
have been read SO far, the greater
part Of the time having been given to
speeches and debate,
Some important differences of opin.
ion developed today on the Republican
side, Senator Nelson. OF Minnesota
attacking the rate on woolen and cot
ton cloths and those on glass, de-
mandlng reductions. Senator Dolliver
also attacked the schedules on woolen
and cotton cloths, declaring so far as
cottons we're concerned that while
apparently there had been NO change
in the rates of this schedule. every
one Of them mad been changed by a
new definition of these cloths inserted
in the bill.
But II there are differences on the
Republican side as to rates, there the
same on the Democratic side as to
principles. Senator McLaurln, OF Mis-.
sissippl for example. spoke in favor Of
placing cotton seed oil on the free list,
and Senator Simmons took issue with
him, debate resulting in which Nc.
Laurin reiterated his statement and
Simmons pointed out danger to the
south in the large lmportations Of cot.
ton seed into Germany to be manufac-
tured, no doubt, into oil. Tais menace
convlnces the North Carolinian that a
duty on cotton seed oil is a good thing.
The consideration of the duty on
gas reorts caused az oratorical explo-
sion. The committee on finance. had
increased the rates on these articles
from 50, as provided by the house bill,
to SO>per cent ad valorem, the new
duty being on large retorts three times
the amount levied by the house bill
and the present law.
Net Pledged to Revise Downward.
Mr. Aldrich explained that the
specific duty of SO was put on small re-
torts, and that the practice Of building
large ones had made necessary
change of the duty to an ad valorem
rate. He challenged the Senator from
Texas to show that the Republican
party had been pledged to a revision
of the tariff Downward"
"The Republican party" said Mr..
AldrIch, agreed to revise the tariff
on the basis of rates equalling the DIFF.
ference in cost of production in this
country and abroad"
Mr. Bailey inisted that there was an
understanding in the country before
the last election that the Republican
party would revise the tariff down
ward otnerWlSe, ne declared, the
House of Representatives would have
become Democratic.
THE people" said Mfr. Aldrich, "un-
derstood that the Republican party
was a party of protection, bound to
revise the tariff from the protection
standpoint. If any paragraph in this
bill does not give protection equal to
the cost of porduotion, am for an
amendment of the bill in that re-
spect."
Senator Elkins criticised the lack Of
Information concerning what had
come before the committee on finance
dn regard to the tariff bill. Mr.. Flint
referred to suggestion that had been

Seventeen Of the twenty-nine inde-
pendent Or insurgent Republicans
yielded. At the same time, and as a
part Of the same plan, Special Priv
ilege had arranged for a sufficient
Democratic vote joined with the over
whelming Republican vote upon which
it could rely, to insure the adoption Of
the old rules, clothing the Speaker
power to appoint all Of the committees
and thus maintain its hold upon leg
islation In the House of Represent
atives.
As the order Of procedure required
the election Of the Speaker before the
adoption Of the rules, Cannon's cleo
ton would be made secure before It
became necessary to disclose the deal
made with the Democrats.
The plan was consummated In every
detail. seventeen independent or in
surgent Republican votes were re-
corded for Cannon for Speaker. He
was elected. Having furnished the
necessary votes to make Cannon speak
or the seventeen insurgent Republic
cans arrayed themselves with the
insurgents who had voted a.
Cannon, proposing now to cast
their t~wenty-nine votes against the
Of the old rules.
Then came the master stroke of
Privilege. A Democrat was
pushed forward with compromise
proposition which in effect left every
power for evil accorded to him by the
Did rules still In the guise Of anNamen-
1ment to = pending motion and

ing of his administration was per-
suaded to aid the forces which COM
bined to make Cannon Speaker, with
unlimited power for obstruction under
the rules adopted, must bring dissap-
pointment to the great body OF pro-
gressive citizens Of this country.
President Taft knows that Speaker
Cannon blocked the legislation which
would have promoted the policies of
his predecessor. How a he hope to
advance with this progressive legisla-
tion when he sets up and fortities in
power across the course he must ira
vel one of the strongest enemies Of
progress?
The defeat of Common would neither
have deprived the Republicans Of the
control of the s~peakership o delayed
the consideration of the tariff bill.
1t would have forced the Republican
Majority into immediate agreement
with the independent Republicans
upon the selection of some fair man

rules would have followed logically

opposed Champs Clark's policy. Fitz-
gerald has been my friend for many

"Fitzgerald is said to have followed
