CHINA, POTTERY AND GLASS.
Texts for Senators In the DAILY TartH De-
bate-Cummins Keeps Busy.

UetC- NuIutuulb hCcpS D~sy
WASHINGTON. May 1.-THE Senate did
some real work on tho tariff bill carly Ia
to-day's session. Amendments wore dis
posed OF with despatch. 1t Vas nearly
I O'Clock before & roll call wss ordered.
Senator Cummins challenged the para
graph putting % per cent. I'D vslorem
on decorated china and earthenwara. BE
said that 90 per cent. Of the china used IN
the United States WA imported and 90
per cent. OF tho eartbsnware vas Of do
mestic manufacture. This sugessted to
his mind the necessity Of making tho duty
on earthenwarc Lees than that on china.
The committee amendment making
the ad valorem IS per cent. was finally
adopted.
When the glassware sohedule was re-
ported Senator Scott brought An exhibit
Of glassware such u il produced In his
factory at Wheeling. He gave the price
list on various articles, showing they
we're sold at prices below the duty Owen.
Mr.. Newlands developed the fact that
glass pitchers such as Senator Scott
exhibited as being sold at 90 cents q dozen
by manufacturers were recalled at $4.S0
a dozen. whereupon Senator Hale roasted
the 'jobben and retailsrs.'
Mr.. Scott showed the picture 81 a re-
~tailer's establishment IN New YORK that
was a fourteen story building, which
he said represented profits wrung from
consumers. NO ten manufacturers In
the country have made enough In four.
teen years to build such a building said
Mr.. Scott.
Mr.. Scott returned to the discussion
later in the day to correct q slight error.
He said he was mistaken when he told
his colleagues that glassware was sold
at q price below the duty. because the
duty was an ad valorem duty.
Mr.. Tillman pleaded for a protective
duty on tea II such a duty would not in
crease the price. Il van protection he
said. There is one small producer OF
tea in my State who raises 1900 pounds
a year. He wants protection. He wants
enough protection to enable him to raise
his price. Why even now he is competing
with the free tea from China. Is any
body fooled by the claim that this tariff
doesn't increase pricesf'
In the course Of the afternoon the debate
became general. The question Of the
middleman's profits came in for a share
Of attention. incidentally the venerable
question as to who pays the duty. the
foreign exporter or the American con-
sumner. was raised. Senator Lodge gave
an illustration by citing saccharine. He
reminded Senators that when the Dingley
law duty of $3.50 a pound specific with an
ad valorem Of 10 per cent. was imposed.
sacoharine was selling at ts.22 a pound.
1t had been gradually declining In prioe
year by year in spite OF the duty until
az present the price wa 10 cents q pound.
or less than half Of the specific duty.
Il want to ask the Senator from Massa-
ohusetts how high the duty would have to
be placed to permit the consumer to get
saccharine free," inquired Mr.. Core, the
Lodge Joined in the laugh that followed.

Senator Hale's Resolution Cuts
! Salary Of Secretary Of State
to $4,000
SOME DOUBT or SUCCESS
Members Raise Question That Even
After Repeal Knox May Stll Pc
Prohibited to Accept the Port
folio.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. TO-
Following close upon the discovery
that Senator P. C. Knox could not
without violating the constitution sf
the United States accept state
portfolio in Taft's cabinet the senate
took prompt action today to remove
the constitutional objection. Senator
Hale introduced resolution which
was referred to the judiciary commit
tee providing that the salary Of the
secretary Of state be reduced from
$4,000 to $1,000, figure at which il
stood before it was increased along
with other cabinet officers two years
ago. While in the house there Is
general acceptance Of the suggestion
to repeal the law standing in Knox's
way some Of the members haye
raised the question il even after the
repeal he would not be prohibited in
as much as the constitution forbids
the appointment to Office the salary
Of which has been raised during ap-
pointees term as member Of con-
gress, nothing being said about the
subsequent reduction Of the salary.
Assistant Attorney-General Russell,
however, holds that il congress re-
stores the salary to the former figure
the case would fall outside the pur-
port of the law and would not be
within meaning Of it.
