BAILEY ATTEMPTS TO JUSTIFY
HIS VOTE AGAINST FREE
RAW MATERIALS.

Washington, June 25.-A short
time before adjournment last night
at Z O'Clock, the senate returned to
the consideration of the schedules of
the tariff bill, after devoting a greater
part of the day to listening to pre-
pared speeches, and adopted amend
ments increasing the duty on shoes
from Is to 20 per cent. ad valorem
and increasing the duty on sole
leather from 5 to 10 per cent. ad va
loren, the lower figure representing
the house rate in each case.
During the day there were three
prepared speechs, all. of them being
at considerable length. Beginning
when the senate convened at 10
O'Clock, Mr.. Beveridge talked for
about four hours and was followed by
Mr.. Bailey at almost as great length.
Mr.. Newlands was the last of the
orators of the day, and he had not
long surrendered the floor when the
senate adjourned.
The theme of Mr.. Beveridge's dis
course was an amendment proposed
by him regarding the size of tobacco
packages. He contended that while
the size of packages had been re
duced during the Spanish war with
the end in view Of the committee com
polling the purchaser to pay a war
tax, those sizes have never been re-
stored nor the prices reduced, not
Withstanding the removal of the tax,
thus practically giving the tobacco
manufacturers and especially the to-
bacco trust, the advantage of a tax
even though it has not been in opera
tion for about nine years. He de-
clared that the trust had Influenced
legislation for this purpose, and as
serted that it was being benefited to
the extent of many million of dollars
a. year.
Mr.. Bailey talked about free raw
materials for the purpose of Justify
ing his vote as a democrat against
the free entry of iron ore, lumber and
hides. He declared that previous to
the time when the Cleveland policy
was established, the democratic pol
icy was in opposition to the free adj
mission of raw material
Mr. Newlands gave his attention to
the income tax question, devoting es-
pecial consideration to the presidents
recommendation for a corporation
tax. He discussed at length the legis-
1ation Of 1898 providing for tax
upon the gross receipts of the oil re-
timers, on which the Spreckles case
was decided by the supreme court.
and which is relied upon by the pres
1dent as precedent for the proposed
corporation tax. He pointed out es-
pecially that the law of 1898 was ap-
plicable, not to corporations alone
but to every person. firm, company
and corporation carrying on such
business and suggested that a tax ap-
plying only to corporations might vio-
late the constitution requirement of
uniformity.
