Ing upheld by the senate by substan
tiai najoritIes.
A feature OF the days session was
a general discussion concerning the
great display between wholesale and
retail prices OF commodities. Repub
lican senators declared that this diff

strate that the duty levied by pro.
tectiye tariff had small effect on the
price paid BY the consumer,
This feature of the discussion was
precipitated by Senator Scott.
The schudule covering the products
Or lead was passed over upon the sug-
gsstion Of Senator Aldrlch because.
he said, the finance committee desired
to make some changes in the duties as
previously recommended
Senator scott's Speech.
Senator SCOTS speech on pottery
and glass schedules achieved the most
notable victory in the tariff battle up
to date, as not single vote was cast
against his demand for the tariff rate.
Scott used many glass pitchers, turnb-
lers and dishes to illustrate his argu-
ments md when he finished Senator
Hale came over to congratulate him
and remarked that 1t was the best and
most convincing protection speech yet
made in tariff debate. Later on Sena
tor Hale in public ntterance to the
senate, paid many compliments to
SCOTS arguments 1t was when the
glass schedule was reached that Mr..
Scott made plea for protection Of
the glass industry.

Senators and visitors In the gal
leries craned their necks to see the
sample held aloft by Mr.. Scott.

When I first went into the glass busi-
ness this tumbler retailed at $3.50 a
dozen. Now we sell 1t for eleven cents

Here is a glass dish to be bought in
any store for 70 cents dozen.
IF we keep on we will soon be pay
ing people to carry this glassware
away. Here is another goblet that
formerly sold for $500 dozen and
which now under protection sells for
25 cents dozen
Then holding up picture OF an
eleven-story building, Mr.. Scott said
it was the business place Of whole

Earthenware Schedules

When the schedules relating to
chinaware and earthenware were
reached, Mr.. Cummins suggested that
twothirds of the chinaware used in
this country was imported, while 80
per cent. of the earthenware used was
OF domestic manufacture and added
that he proposed later TO offsr ar
amendment to reduce the rate on
earthenware. Mr.. Aldrich said that
the two articles had been classified
together and given the same duty
since 1888, even the Wilson bill max
ing no change in the ella sification.
AS the result OF an understanding
reached after a discussion OF the
parliamentary status bill. hereafter
the senate as in committee OF the
whole will finally adopt each para
graph OF the bill as reached, unless
passed over by agreement and no
further opportunity will be had to
amend tn. measure until 1t has
reached the parliamentary status O.
being before the senate.
Speaking in favor OF reduction OF
the duties of stone and earthenware

Bacon offered an amendment reducing
the rate from 60 to IS per cent. ad

Washington, Nov 20. - President

a sharp letter to William Dudley
Foulke OF Richmond, Ind, erstwhile

promptly given to the press. There
were many observers of the Roose-
welt policies" who believed that Mr..
Foulke was convenience for Presi-
dent Roosevelt, and to such persons
Mr.. Foulke became known to fame
as "the ready letter writer"
The habit seems to have clung to
the Indiana reformer. In any. event
when President Taft returned from
bulky correspondence a letter from
William Dudley Foulke administering
to the president a lot of chastisement
on account OF Mr.. Taft's Winona
speech. Mr.. Foulke AYERS his disap-
pointment at the tone of the speech
and conveyed with expressions OF
profound regret the feelings of disap-
pointment which filled his breast and
surged I'm the bosoms of other re-
formers because the president had
seen fit to part company with the
so-called insurgents. Mr.. Foulke took
occasion to remind the president that
he had been one Of Mr.. Taft's ante
convention supporters, and that, he
declared, made his grief all the more
poignant.

PAIN In LIMBS,
HEAD AND BACK
This Detroit Woman Did Not Regain
Health and Strength Until She
Tried Or. Williams Pink Pills,

When there is general breakdown of
the bodily health, either the blood is at
fault or the nervous system is deranged,
often both.
There is no more perplexing trouble
for a physician to treat than debility
cases, especially in women, in which
there is no acute disease but in which
the patient every day sinks lower and
lower despite changes of medicine and
similar experiments.
Mrs. Il. r. S. Martin, of No. 1870
Michigan avenue, Detroit, Mich. advises
weak mothers to try the tonic treatment
with Dr. Williams Pink Pills. She says:
"For five years after the birth of my
child / suffered from nervous break
down. / did not regain my strength,
could not stand for any length Of time
without becoming fatigued, and was
nervous and irritable had torturing
pains in my limbs, back and head and
felt sick all over.
II was under the care of several doc
tors but received little benefit from any
of them. Dr. Williams Pink Pills were
recommended by friend and as had
heard of them years ago, l stopped the
doctors medicine and gave the pills q
Grial. felt much better after taking a
few boxes and used them until cured.
The pills did in short time what the
doctors had failed to do after months of
treatment"
Men and women, who are run down,
will find DIR. Williams Pink Pills the
best tonic for their condition because
these pills are certain blood-builder
and purifier. They enable the blood to
meet the unusual demands of the body
and give perfect health.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills contain no
harmful or habit-forming drugs and the
sufferer who gives Them a trial, will
avoid the danger so common in taking
drugs which only deaden pain. These
pills have cured such blood and nerve
diseases as an9mia, rheumatism, stom-
ach trouble, nervousness, neuralgia and
st. Vitus' dance and have been found
invaluable in partial paralysis and loco
motor ataXia. Proof of what DIR. Will
liams' Pink Pills have accomplished in
such cases near your home will be sent
free upon request.
They are for sale by all druggists. or
will be sent, postpaid, on receipt of price,
90 cents per box; six boxes for 81 100, by
