BLOW AT THE SOUTH
BAGGING AND TIES TAXED BY
REPUBLICANS.
Senators Bailey and Aldrich Lock
Horns in n Short Debate OH
Tariff.

The consideration of the duty on
gas retors in the Senate Thursday
caused an oratorical explosion. The
committee on finance had increased
the rates on these articles from SO
as provided In the house bill to 80
per cent ad valorem, the new duty
being on large retorts three times the
amount levied by the house bill and
the present law.
This course was denounced by Mr..
Bailey as evidence of failure on the
part OF the Republican party to keep
faith with the people in their de-
mand for a revision of the tariff
downward.
Mr.. Bailey read from President
Taft's inaugural address to show that
he had favored lower duties and Mr..
Aldrich responded that the pending
bill proposed to fulfill that pledge alb
soluteiy.
II have heard IL said" added Mr..
Bailey, that the present adminlstra-
tion aims as one OF its chief accom-
plishments to disrupt the solid South.
and 1t is endeavoring to accomplish
that result by fattering the weak
men among us in the South by con-
ceding to them an invitation to the
White House or by giving them a
portion of the patronage of the
country.
THE president wastes his time and
wastes his breath when he gives
heed to those men who tell him that
they can disrupt the South he said
There is in the South today, as
there was before the war, a senti-
ment that is not Democratic. In
the olden times they were Wings
and in this day they are Republi-
cans. But some of them are asham-
ed of their associates down there.
MIR. Bailey said he deprecated the
effort of the Republican party to
win the South by appealing to selfish
interests
AT the same time" he sai1. this
bill is full OF sectional discrimiua-
lions. The farmers binding twine is
placed on the free list, but in this
very same bill the bagging of the
cotton planter is highly protected.
That costs the cotton planter of the
South yearly more than $1,25O,OOO.
and that burden should be lifted
from his shoulders, even If every
factory Of the cotton hagging trust
should be compelled to close. If you
want to find way to the hearts of
our people of the South, do not
treat them unjustly"
Senator McLaurin, declaring that
the duty on cotton ties is extortion
on the cotton farmers and Is not a
tariff for revenue, announced his in
tention of Offering an amendment to
place cotton ties on the free list.
Despite the contention of so-called
experts, dc said, the duty adds so
cents bate to the cost of bagging
and tying cotton, which he said is
tax on the cotton farmer who re-
ceiveS no protection on his product
