CContlnued from First Page.D
II this tariff bill should be put through
without amendment II would cause an i'm
mediate countrywide demand for another
revision.
He said he would return to his subject
from time to time as various schedules Of
the bill we're reached.
AIdrich VIII Answer.
Replying to Mr. Delivers remarks, Mr.
Aldrich said that when the wooden and
cotton schedules were reached he would
show that in the cotton schedule no i'm
portsnt change from the house bill had
been made. except In the substitution of
the specific for ad valorem duties and a
raise in the taxes on clothes.
Mr.. Bailey declared there was no sched-
ule in the tariff which ,exemplified the
frauds and injustice of the entire protective
system so we'll as the wooden schedule.
Mr.. Aldrich prophesied that within twenty
years the representative Of the south in
the senate would be voting with the re-
publicans for protection.
Defending the wooden schedule, Mr.. Car
ter asserted that the difference in the
wages in this country and South America
and other wool producing countries would
Justify a tariff of 900 per cent on wool
and woolens.
Free trade, he declared. practically wiped
out the wooden industry.
Mr.. Carter declared the Dingley law was
the wisest and best balanced tariff law
anybody ever knew" Under that law Mr..
Carter declared the people changed from
the condition Of tramps into the happy at
titude OF Independent workmen. He thought
a series of resolutions amending certain
schedules of hat law which new conditions
had rendered desirable would have been
much better than this Pandora's box
which in a ~thoughtless moment we opened"
Bill Read for Amendment.
The reading of the tariff bill for the
adoption OF schedules passed over when the
measure was first read was resumed to-
day, having been displayed since April %
by speeches of senators who have discussed
the tariff measure.
On motion of Senator Aldrtch the dutY
on blue vltrol or sulphate of copper was
reduced from onehal to on~e-ouarter Of
one cent per pound
Mr.. Aldrich agreed that any amendment
whether 1t had been passed over or not
might be amended without the Formally Of
a motion to reconsider.
Amendments on lead ore and lead pro-
ducts from which paint IL manufactured
called forth a storm of criticism. Senator
Bristow moved that the house provision
Of 2h cents per pound instead og as cents
per pound on orange mineral as proposed
by the committee. be retained in the bill
this being the first Of the committee series
Of increases rating to lead that was
reached.
Mr.. Bristow said this rate ment an in
~ a .-.a - -a
in that statement he was Joined by Mr..
Nelson.
Mr.. Aldrich replied that the increase only
made the duty the same as that provided
In the Dingley law.
Remarks by Mr.. Burkett.
Mr.. Burkett said that such an explana-
tion was not satisfying. THE Dingley
law has been all right for the day
in which II was made" he said, but now
we are making another bill, the reason
for which is found in the changed con-
ditions. Hence l want to know more of
the reasons for this change"
Mr.. Hepburn and Mr.. Warner of Mis-
souri,, each saying that about one-third
OF the lead produced was In his state,
protested against lowering the rate.
The vote on orange mineral was re-
garded as a test vote on all the amend
ments bringing the duties on lead ore and
it's products up to the rates of the Ding
ley bill and the rate proposed by the
committee of So cents per pound in
stead OF the house rate of ~ cents per
pound was agreed to--41 to IS.
Senaort Crawford OF South Dakota said:
I'VE came here with the idea that we
were to revise these schedules down
ward and I shall vote that way unless
good reason is shown why l should vote
otherwise"
