that the average consumption OF
wheat per annum in this country was

that 1t Is seven bushels and some

Helps Secure Reduced Rates on Ba.
CON- Hams and Lard.
Washington, June 1.-Mr. Aldrich
appeared in the senate yesterday in
q new role, that of champion of low
duties. The committee on finance had
recommended an increase from 4 to 5
cents a pound on bacon and hams and
Mr.. Bacon opposed these amendments.
After Mr.. Bacon had declared that
the proposed increases on bacon and
hams, lard, fresh meat, veal. mutton,
pork, ETC., would endanger the welfare
of the republican party, Mr. Aldrich
emilingly declared that as he had "the
welfare Of the republican party at
heart" he would withdraw the commit
tee amendment in sections $50, 2S1 and
2S4.
This action came as surprise to
many senators and Mr.. Aldrich ex-
planned that he har taken this action
because he wanted to curtail the debate
and did not believe the lower duty pro-
vided by the house on these articles
would affect the importations.
Senator Beveridge Indicating that he
approved this course, Mr.. Hepburn ex-
pressed surprise that such action
should be contemplated and said he
had supposed these amendments re-
storing the duties Of the Dingley law,
which had been lowered by the house
would be maintained by the commit
tee on finance.
-"If believed said Mr.. Aldrich,
shat every item of this bill raised the
price Of the article affected, then I
should cease to be a protectionist, 1
think" He said he did not believe
the industries concerned would be af-
feoted by the choice of the house or
of the finance committee rate. When
asked by Mr.. Bacon whether he would
consent to still further lower the rates
on these articles he promptly declared
that he would not.
