A QUESTION OF EVIDENCE.

senator Aldrich says the prices of
agricultural implements are lower
in this country than abroad. He
promised that he would submit alb
sulute proof from the department of
commerce and labor that the Inter
national Harvester company did not
charge higher prices for their i'm
plements in this country than
abroad
We will admit that senator Aldrich
can prove anything he wishes by the
department of commerce and labor
that is If we are cOnfinding enough
to accept the statements of that de-
partment as proof. But while SEN
atDr Aldrich is getting his witnesses
together we will offer Il few of our
own. The first one We will call to
the stand is Nelson W. Aldrich who
In speech in the senate, delivered
June =, 1906, said:
at is well known fact about
which there Is no dispute that pro-
duccrs In the United States and in
every one of the great industrial ma
tiOns sell portions of their products
from time To time at less price to
people of other countries than to
their regular customers at home"
When Charles NJ. Schwab of the
Carnegie Steel company, afterwards
president Of the steel trust, testified
before the industrial commission in
1901 the record shows the follow
ing:
q. Is it fact generally proved
Of all exporters in this country that
they do sell at lowerPrices in foreign
markets than they do in the home
markets? A. That is true, per-
fectly true.
Z. Would you say that when bus
mess is In normal condition the
export prices are regularly some
what lower than home prices? A.
oh, yes always.
Next let hear from Hon. jeremiah
Rusk, President Harrison's secre-
tary of agriculture: He makes the
assertion that Senator Aldrich says

The Conference Committee OF
the two branches of Congress now
has the Aldrlch Payne tariff mud
die under consideration. Nobody
seems to think that the bill will
emerge from the committee with
anything like downward slide
from the Dingley law, but the
President is very anxious that it
may make a confused semblance in
that direction, so that he will not
have to stultify himself too much
in approving it, for it is the con.
census of public thought that he
will not veto it under any cirCum-
stances. This much appears to be
certain, that the special interests
will be well taken care of, and
that while there may be few re
auctions on some articles the in
crease Oh others will more than off
set them. 1t will not settle the
question of tariff revision, but
rather accentuate its agitation in
the next congressional campaign
and the national campaign two
years later. The present temper
of the West does not promise that
it will be satisfied with pretense
and a makeshitt.
