With Mousy Aldrich.

With this gentle Introduction Sena-
tor Dolliyer proceeded To expose the
action OF the committee on finance and
its chairman In turning over the con-
struction or the cotton schedule to the
appraisers In New York. With this
and the trick by which Senator Aid
ricn aimed secretly TO increase the cot
ton schedule the public are familiar.
III Is even possible" said Senator
DolliVer TO comment adversely upon
the cotton schedule as contained In
the senate bill without impeaching the
abilities or the senator from Rhode
Island because. as he has himself
stated upon this floor, the amend
ments offered to the senate by the
committee were not the work OF the
committee, but every one or them
made by persons connected with the
treasury department. IL was, | have
NO doubt. cruel revelation to some
OF his languid disciples To learn from
the lips OF the senator himself that In
this cotton schedule the changes that
were made did not represent the ge-
MUS OF the man who enjoys, I'm the
mythology Of our public life, the repu-
taticn OF being the greatest living ex-
pert upon the technicalities OF cotton
manufacture, but that the senator from
Rhode Island. mystifed by the task
set before him by his constituents or
raising the table or these rates without
touching them. turned the job over to
the appraisers office In New York"
Speaking OF the wool schedule, Sem

OF party leaders is TO take us back,
not 10 1890. when Mckinley in despair
turned the making OF the wool tariff
over TO mass meeting OF It's benefic-
iaries; not To 1897. when Gov. Ding
ley's avowed purpose To reduce the
Mckinley rates was vetoed by the
threats and clamor or outside inter
ests. but 10 1883, when the senator
from Rhode Island labored month af-
ter month, day and night, with VIM.

only schedule OF wool and woolens in
40 years in which either the public In

party was made paramount over sor-

Senator Dolliver said he wanted Ito
see an end 10 the scandal that has ac-
companied the framing OF every tariff
I bill. and that has corrupted American
industries and made great enterprises
mere adjuncts to political agitation"

I character OF Aldrich. Aldrich does
not cherish personal animosities.
