TARIFF DEMOCRAT
SPEAKS IN SENATE

The spectacle OF a stanch Southern
Democrat urging a high tariff duty
was presented on the floor OF the Sen
ate this afternoon, when Senator Sim
mons OF North Carolina spoke IN favor
Of the amendment to the tariff bill for
s. duty on lumber.
Senator Simmons maintained that the
protection on lumber was low and in
sufficient, as compared with the protec-
ton on other articles he said the
average ad valorem rate in the present
Dingley law is 44 per cent The rate on
lumber amounts to IL per cent II fxed
as II stands IN the bill now, II would be
but about 5 per cent.
Senator Simmons declared this was
unjust disc animation against the lum-
Der industry.
In the course Of his argument, Sena-
tor Simmons took the position that 70
per cent OF the cost OF lumber Is labor.
He said the cost of producing lumber
in this country was increasing, and
everything that enters into the cost OF
manufacturing lumber is protected by
rate of over 30 per cent
