VIEWS ON HIDES
OHIO SENATOR SAYS HE WANTS
TO BE CONSISTENT AND WILL
VOTE FOR TARIFF.
TO PROTECT LABORING MAN.
Warren of Wyoming Talks in Favor of
Duty, Declaring He Wants to
Benefit the Farmer
PROCEEDINGS IN THE HOUSE.

WASHINGTON. ID. c., June 21.-
Senator Dick of Ohio made public today
Il letter he had written in reply to COM
munications from manufacturers and
others interested in securing n removal
Of the duty on hides. In the letter he de-
clared himself opposed to n removal Of
that duty. AS Il protectionist, the sen
atOr said. he strove for consistency and
believed in protecting all American in
dustries--thoSe of the farm as we'll as
those of the factory the shop, and the
mine As to hides, he contended that
to call them raw materials as an argu-
ment for admitting them free of duty
was silly. The argument that the pack
erS We're the chief benetciaries on hide
duty he combatted by quoting statistics
showing that of 100000 grown cattle
consumed for beef last year only about
J.J4i 900 We're slaughtered in all the
big packing houses of the west, the re-
mander being killed in thousands of
places all over the country.
Senator Dick indicated his belief that
a removal of the duty on hides would
invite reprisas by the farmers and cat
tie raisers which would be likely to in
jure American shoe and leather man
ufacturerS.
Wants to Protect Labor
1T will be an evil day for our Ameri-
can industries" concludes the senator,
when the cheap labor of foreign coun-
tries shall become skilled in the use
of the machinery for manufacture, if
there shall be free trade in shoe and
leather products. For one, | shall cast
no vote that may aid i'll Fastening that
evil"
Senator Warren of Wyoming contin-
ned in the Senate today his advocacy
of tariff on hides. He declared the
Senate had been injured and lnSulted'
by the man who in seeking free hides
had declared that the duty on hides had
midnight process. Senator Warren
proceeded to present facts intended to
show the value of the hide and to prove
that a duty on that part of the bovine
carcass would be of material benefit to
the farmer.
