given assurances that the matter should
go over for the present But Just before

was unreasonable 70 ask the Senate TO

Senator Cumulins entered serious OBJ

afforded for free discussion. Senator Aid
rich observed that much OF the debate

Senator Bailey objected.
There has been no irrelevant debate
on the bill or certainly less than on any
previous tariff bill" said the Senator
from Texas. correcting Mr. Aldrich.
Senator Hale inquired what progress
had been made with the measure up 10
the present time Chairman Aldrich re-
Piled that about half OF the bin had been

tested questions were in the paragraphs
already adopted, indicating that the Sen
ate had completed more than half OF the

the request for unanimous consent tor a
vote on June ., and again Senator Daniel
objected.

Senator who monoplizes the information
concerning the schedule, is to deny to the
States that equal representation in this

Senator from Virginia intimated that he
would insist on fairer treatment of the
