l to me he has demonstrated cOnclu- sively the tendency of this bill. | It ic said that this is not revision downward Why, it is impossible for any fair-minded man to take these | schedules and to go through them from beginning to end and deny that | it is the most effective revision down ward undertaken by any tariff bill | ever presented to the American con 1 gress.
 You can count on the fingers of one l hand in the chemical schedule the in l creases, if you leave out luXuries, while there is whole page of de- | creases, and among them the great chemical-sulphate of ammonia, which is put upon the free list, various forms ! of lead. various forms of potash [ those chemicals that enter into manu- facture and into the consumption of our people.
 And then take the iron and steel schedule. We begin by making a re ] ductiOn from 40 cents to 15 cents a ton in the duty upon iron ore. which lies at the basis of all manufactures of iron and steel. We reduce the duty
 
 many industries, from S4 to $2.50 a
 ton We reduce the duty on scrap iron
 from $4 to Sl a ton. We cut in two the duty on steel rails. The steel schedule presents a reduction which amounts practically to cutting 1t in
 two. Yet We have adjusted these cuts
 to the conditions of the industry, and
 we believe that they will not result in
 harming any part of this country. The
 duty upon coal is cut 8 per cent. The
 duty upon petroleum and its products
 is removed altogether.
 And so it is throughout the whole 1 bill. Take the duty upon hides. They
 have been upon the free list ever since we have been a nation, with the eX- CeptiOn of two or three intervals, and this bill places them there again. We do not believe that it will in any way affect the cattle growing industry in this country; but the removal of the duty is far more than compensated for by the radical cuts made in leather, in boots and shoes, in harness and sad | dlery. In these paragraphs the duties are practically cut in two.

THE INDECENT RUSH
 BEGINNING EARLY
The Supervisors Already Overwhelmed
 With Applications for Aid.

Great drafts are being made upon the indigent fund of the county at a time of the year when they have us ually been lightest. All sorts of re- quests are preferred. One woman has been haunting the board of supervis- OTIS to get a railroad ticket to send her father-inlaw back to his home in the east. She resented the question ing of the board as to her claim for aid. She said that as a heavy tax payer of the county she had right to make such a request.
 Day before yesterday another man called. He said he had been work ing in the Roosevelt tunnel, where the water dripped down upon him until he had contracted sciatic rheumatism and wanted to go Agua Caliente Hot Springs for treatment. Representing that he had no means of paying his railroad fare, the board got him a half fare ticket, but later he called on the board and said that he had learned that there were no longer public bath ing facilities at the springs and he would like to have the value of the ticket in cash. Chairman Hoghe eX- plained that such a disposition of the public money would be irregular; it couldn't be done. MT. Hoghe said that the only thing the board could do would be to send him to the county hospital. The man replied that he would prefer to go to the Potters field. You have your choice" said the chairman. Yesterday the appli- cant for aid called again. He was willing to go to the hospital
 It has always been the purpose of the board to refuse admission to the hospital to all except those whose residence in the county has given them some sort of claim. That pur- pose has never been carried out very long at a time for the applicants plant themselves before the board. saying. Pm here and you'n have to take care of me somehow"

not have tariff revision at this session, 1 if, indeed, you have it at the next. The question before the House is: Shall we sustain a republican president? Shall we carry out the pledges of Repub- { lican platform?
 MT Taft, when he was a candidate
 for the presidency, took the people in-
 to his confidence and frankly annOunc- l ed that if he were elected he would attempt to bring about a revision of
 the tariff downward upon the lines of protection. That policy beyond ques- | tion is reflected in this bill. It is great government measure. It is one
 of the most monumental measures ever ! presented to an American congress. It is a measure the passage of which is desired by a republican president. It is the first great policy of his admin istration. l say to You it would be most damaging to him, 1t would be most damaging to the cause of re- vision of the tariff, either up or down. if enough republicans withheld their votes from this measure to defeat 1t. It would, at the threshold of his ad ministration, subject him to a damag ing repulse, and it would keep alive agitation; it would keep uncertainty
 hanging over business.
 My friend from Illinois (Mr. Mann)
 does not want this report to be ac- cepted because he thinks that the
 cut on print paper from $6 to SS a ton to $3.75 a ton is not sufficiently
 drastic. On the other hand. the gen tlemen who represent the great paper producing districts of the country be-
 lieve that a cut even to S3.75 will render disaster. This is only an it. lustration of the difficulties we shall face We will have many conflicting
 views of this kind. If this report is
 thrown open, the gentleman from IT. linois will probably not see his views prevail, and the gentleman from New
 York (Mr. Malby) may not see his views prevail If in q tariff bill ap- plying to some 4.OOO articles every duty must first be adjusted to please everybody, or, indeed, anybody, we should never ..aye legislation. From necessity such a bill involves com promises. Some of the provisions of
 this bill standing alone, should vote against. But as a whole I believe it a righteous measure, and as such it will have my vote. We will have a | conflict of forces, we will have disin- | tegratiOn and chaos, if the report is voted down; and in inc interests Of good legislation, and tC put upol the statute books what I believe is. upon the whole, as good a tariff law as was ever passed by the American [ congress, l appeal to the members upon this side of the chamber to give their votes in favor of the report 1 Applause on the republican side).
