auent oratorical squalls, in which
senators 'tcailed things by their pro-
per names" the tarif bill made some
progress in the senate today.
A number of paragraphs were pass
cd upon, and while in most instances
is was understood that the senate
might return 10 them it is the general
opinion that very little. il any. change
will be made.
The house rates were retained in
the polished plate glass paragraph,

the bill is taken up in the senate pro-
per there probably will be some al
terations. Tho Republican progress

e adequate. iSGt

CORE ATTACKS sarooT.
MIR, Gore brought the Standard Oil
company into the discussion, and also
made a personal reference 10 Senator
Smoot.
= ''It has been charged, z he said, that
hle National Carbon company is an
adjunct of the Standard Oil company
+ trust, and we will heetr a great deal of
/ Hostility here against the STANDARD Oil
company. A sham battle will be pulled
& off against the great trust, but here is
q chance 10 demonstrate where senators
Z stand in respect to that great monopoly.
The senator from Utah, the high
81 priest of high tariff, the anointed apos-
tie of protection, has stated here that
4 there is a combination between this
monopoly and the electric light COM
panics of the country.
II challenge the right of that sena-
{ tor to speak for the people of Okll-
holna, and impeach his power to rep-
resent both the monopoly and the con-
suIner. No man can properly represent
4 both side of d contest OF this kind
..It must be due to the fact that he
has some divine aff1atus, some heavenly
illumination by which he is enabled to
speak for the consumers / have not
I heard that the consumers want these
prices increased.
He said the electric light companies
merely act as a medium Nfor passing
along the charges on carbons to the
people. e z
Responding. MIR. Burton said he never
heard in Cleveland. where the National
Carbon company is located, the slight
est irttinlation that the Standard Oil
company had anything to do with the
carbon company.
