'In many respects they seem to have
been singled out for attack. The new
taxes upon tea and coffee, upon
womens gloves and cotton stockings
are a direct provocation to woman
suffrage. If this tariff bill does not
bring about the franchise of women.
their cause is hopeless. But the most
serious aspect is that these duties fall
more heavily upon the poor than upon
the richA
1.-THE increased tax upon cotton
stockings is even more serious than
that upon women's gloves. In hose
and half-hose, the enormous increase
in taxationfs entirely upon the cheaper
grades.
The Great Danger
"The great danger of the situation
is that the lowering of the tariff rates
is to be used as a pretext for lowering
wages.
IT have not the slightest doubt that
the American manufacturers of steel
and iron are strong enough to enter
every market of the world"
Mr.. Harrison declared every item on
the steel and iron schedules should be
put upon the free list in order to
cheaper the price of these products
to the American consumers. He at
tackled the maximum and minimum
provisions of the bill, the countervail-
ing duty on coffee, and said the Demo-
cratic party favored an income tax,
rather than an inheritance tax.
The tariff on hides was then dis
Los Angeles herald., 1909-03-28

cussed by Representative Gardner of
Massachusetts in speech in the house
today. He said hides We're on the free
list as the bill passed the house, but
that duty of is per cent was fixed in
conference.
Whether this duty was imposed at
the instigation of the great Chicago
packers, / do not know" continued
Mr.. Gardner whether the packers
have financed the campaign which has
created an artificial sentiment among
the farmers in favor of the duty, is
beside the question. The fact remains
that this sentiment undoubtedly exists,
and it must be reckoned with"
Mr.. Gardner said he had lost pa
thence with those who claim that they
cannot vote for free hides because the
leather duty and the boot and shoe
duty have not been sufficiently touched.
Ruin was spelled by free calfskin and
free patent leather, he argued, and by
free boots and shoes, so far as sub
stantial minority of manufacturers
was concerned.
He said a duty on hides does not
encourage the breeding of a single adj
ditional animal, and does not furnish
a market for single American hide.
Mr.. Garner said the ultimate con-
sumner would receive the benefit of free
hides through the cheaper cost OF pro-
duction to the manufacturer. So long
as the shoe trade is not controlled by
a trust, he said, competition would
keep the profits down. He argued the

The quest for unanimous consent was

The quest for unanimous consent was
made by Mr.. Payne, who said forty
or fifty members already had indicated
their desire to this end. Mr.. Clark OF
Missouri, the minority leader. asked
how long general debate would con-
tinue, said he was somewhat embar-
raised by this lack of information
Some of his colleague Democrats had
asked for time to speak and 1t was
difficult to make allotments.
Mr.. Payne replied that he was suf-
fering under similar embarrassment
but did not supply the information de-
sired.
without any intimation being given
as to when the general debate on the
measure would cease, the bill was pre-
scented for general debate. Mr.. Harri-
son of New York, the new Democratic
member of the committee on ways and
means, at once took the floor, followed
by Nicholas Longworth.
Declaring there would be no dissen-
sion in the Democratic ranks of the
house with regard to the tariff and
that the Fitzgerald amendment TO the
rules made 1t possible for the minority
to express its views upon amendments
to the bill by a record vote, Repre-
sentative Harrison of New York today
discussed various features of the Payne
measure.

There were sixty of us in the camp

we would kill him.
'It was fixed among us that who
ever he swore at first was to hit him,
