BAILEY TALKS
ON THE TARIFF
Senator From Texas De-
nounces Protection.
Aldrich Makes Retort on Several
Points OF BaiIey's Speech and
Heated Colloquies Resulted.
TALK ON INCOME TAX TODAY

Washington, April 27.-Denounc-
ing the principles of protective
tariff as unfair in taking money from
one man to give it TO. another in
order to encourage him in the pur-
suit OF an otherwise Improbable
business, Senator Bailey. OF Texas.
delivered a speech on the Democratic
side in opposition to the pending
tariff bill.
Both the floor and galleries were
crowded. Mrs. Taft occupied a seat
in the presidents gallery. After he
had proceeded without interruption
for over an hour. several senators en-
gagged in colloquies with him. Refer
ring TO Bailey's statement that the
duties of the pending bill might be
lowered 33 1-2 per cent, Aldrich
asked whether he supposed the
profits of the American industries
equalled that amount. eai|
Bailey replied that In the case OF
the United States Steel corporation
he believed they had, and he cited
the increased capitalization as evil
dence of enormous profit. He insist
ed that such lowering of the rate of
duty would not seriously affect the
because he believed the
manufacturers would be
by added foreign compe-
tition and would continue TO supply
the market.
Bailey discussed his amendment
providing for an income tax, which
was criticised by Aldrich as tending
TO reduce the protection that would
be given American labor IL II should
result in a proportionate decrease OF
customs duties.
Bailey favored the restriction of
immigration as protection to Ameri-
can labor. Aldrich retorted that
while Bailey was ready to keep the
foreign laborer from our shores. he
was not averse to allowing the pro-
duct of the foreign laDorer to come
in competition with the product OF
American workingmen.

Washington. April 27.-The proud
mother who wants her son to grow
up and become a statesman can gain
valuable information as to the prop
er procedure by consulting the Con-
gressional Record. The biographies
of the representatives Of the people
give the clue.
In the first place. the aspiring par
emit, ought to choose the honest.
rugged name OF william. There are
more congressman with this ccgno-
men to the square inch in the house
OF representatives. than any other
so out of the total of 1898. John Is
also a favorite, with 81 bearing that
front name IN the present member
ship. But william is better. "Bill'
sounds good with the masses.
Thirty one members answer to the
name OF Charles; 2S to that OF
James: II were baptized Joseph; 10
bear the surname of George; there
are IL Henrys. 10 Thomases' Z Rob
erts, and the same number OF
Franks. Edwards. 4 with the his
toric George Washington" as their
two first names, and one who scorns
adornment and calls himself plain

should carefully choose an occupa-
ton for the child destined for con-
gressIonal fame. BY oil means he
should be lawyer-there are 2iS
