Lodge Shows Relation Of Money.
The relation of money-that is, the
amount of money in circulation pei
debate in the senate.
Senator Lodge, in explaining tht
rise in prices of cotton goods durin!
the past few years, loudly asserted
that this rise in prices was not du,
to the tariff, but to the increase in thu
volume of money.
The senator was reminded that hi
position was just the opposite of tha
taken by the Republican party in th'
national campaign of 1896, when !
was declared that the mills and no
the mints should be opened in orde
to arrest falling prices. He made Il
reply.
Senator Lodge gave especial after

dentally spoke of the general polio
of the Republican party with refe1
ence to the subject of tariff revision
He contended that there had bee
no intention of revising the tari
downward, but that the purpose Of I'll
party had been merely so to revise tn
tariff as to protect American manufat
turers against cheap foreign labor. Fl
declared that eastern factories wer
