Sounds Strange Coming From a
Democrat.

Discussing the lumber schedule
in the tariff debate in the senate
Sen. Simmons of North Carolina,
said that lumber and it's products
represented the principal industry OF
IL states, affecting more than 1000
cities which were largely dependent
upon it. He opposed the proposed
reduction on lumber, principally, he
said, because labor constituted a
larger element in the cost of produc-
ing lumber than in the cost Of pro-
ducing any other manufactured pro-
duct and further, that lumber was a
competitor with some of the articles
that added to the cost of it's produc-
ton. The present crusade against a
duty on lumber Mr.. Simmons charg-
ed lhad been instigated by speculat-
ors having interests in Canada. He
maintained that there was no lumber
trust.
Mr.. Simmons denied that lumber
prices had been fabulously high and
that any great. fortunes had been
made in manufactured lumber in the
United States. The lumberman was
not as fortunate as the farmer, who,
he said, was getting high prices for
his products.
The only beneticiaries of reduced
or free lumber, Senator Simmons de-
clared, would be the great rich box
manufacturers located along the
great lakes.

Senator Burrows Believes EXpendi-

Senator Burrows believes it a gooC

along with tariff revision. the growth
of which has been SO rapid as tC

a reckless extravaganza Of govern
ment funds He saws the new tariff
will furnish revenue enough if waste
i is stopped. Continuing, he says:

there is to it, Look at all of those
commissions which have been spend
ing good money and costing this gov
eminent great sums to print their
rotten drivel by the ton!
'I'd just like to know how many
inspectors are employed in the exc
cution of the new immigration law.
They go hopping around like toads
in puddle, and it takes cash. In
the pending census bill a PROPOSE
ton is brought forward to construct
a new census building. What is the
matter with the present building?
MY honest Judgment is that good
business men, running the govern
ment departments upon business
principles. could have cut down eX-
penditures % per cent. The wonder
is, not that this government has been
eating into its surplus month by
month. but that it has not gone into
bankruptcy.
Nor is THE senate without its
share of responsibility. Places and
salaries have been piled up without
regard to the treasury. Clerks have
been hired on the slightest occasion.
without any niggardly policy of
cheese pairing and without restrict
ing the proper activities of the gov
eminent a policy Of wise economy
can easily in my judgment effect a
reduction of at least fifty million
dollars annually and possibly seven
ty-fve. We hope to increase the rev.
enues by at least an equal amount
through improved administration of
the customs laws And by these
means we expect to come out on the
right side of the ledger.
81 believe that we are ready now
for an era of economy and that we
shall have it. Through its new COM
mittee on public expenditures the
senate now intends 20 carefully scru-
tinize the paths through which mon
ey has been accustomed to slip more
or less easily. When extravagant
schemes are proposed for assaults
upon the public treasury they will be
revised by the committee on public
expenditures, where the brakes will
be effectually applied"

The Rising Tide.

The rapid increase in importations
~ merchandise can scarcely be &C.
counted for by the proposed changes
in the tariff, for no one can yet
foTesee what those changes may
eventually prove to be, and as the
daGE1red policy of both the Payne
and the Aldrich bills is for reduc-
ton of duties rather than an in
crease OF them. there is no reason
t0 9ssume that merchandise is being
h'unied into this country in antici-
latlon of such reduction. The only
reasonable explanation, therefore, is
that business is improving and that
merchants are repleniSIhing stocks
