DEMOCRATS AND THE TARIFF
Bailey Explains Why He Is For and
Others Against Duty on Hides, Etc.

Others Against Duty on Hides, Etc.
Washington, June 24-In a long
speech in the senate today, Senator
Bailey, of Texas, made reply to those
who have been criticising him for his
position in favor of duty on hides,
lumber and iron ore and other articles
of raw material in connection with the
pending tariff BILL His expression on
the subject of hides is a fair example
of what he said with reference to the
other articles involved. "If," he said,
4 were invested with the power to re-
peal any duty would not repeal the
duty on hides until I could also repeal
the duty on shoes and leather goods.
would not repeal either until 1 could
repeal both, and 1 would either have
free trade in everything made out Of
hides, or else I would lay revenue
tariff on the hides" He could not, he
said, comprehend how a democrat
could think that he was relieving the
consumer from the exactions and op-
pressions Of the manufacturers by vot-
ing to take the duty off Of what the
manufacturers buy from the people
and still leaving duty on what the
people buy from the manufacturers.
THAT kind Of man." he continued,
may be free trader. but he Is free
trader in spots; and the misery Of it
all is that he selects the factories Of
this country as the spots where he ap-
plies his free trade doctrine. have
sometimes doubted the sincerity OF the
men who denounce the greed Of Amer
ican manufacturers and then gratiey
that greed by exempting those same

Tins"
Mr.. Bailey was willing to concede
that the democrats who advocate free
hides desired as earnestly as he did to
reduce the price Of shoes and Of leather
goods generally. but not to coneede
that they knew as we'll as he aid how to
accomplish this result "They seen."
he said. ITO think that the proper meth
cd is to hrst reduce the manufacturers
cost Of production and then reduce the
duty on the finished product That will
undoubtedly reduce the price OF the
finished product to the ultimate Con-
sumer, but there Is another and q much
juster way to accomplish the same
end" Outlining this plan he insisted
that the producer Of the raw maAesial
and the manufacturer Of the finished
product should be compelled to share In
the reduction on behalf OF the whole
people
With reference to lumber Mr.. Bailey
contended that the forests would not
be preserved by placing lumber on the
free list. his argument being that the
timber lands OF the United States and
Of Canada must supply the demands Of

However, she tried the experiment.
That was all for while. Then
she heard from a woman friend in
London-she gave none of the pic
lures to nen-that prominent
Londoner had seen the picture in
the house of her friend that he
had gazed at it long time, drink

And now that man from London
is on the ocean making the long
trip from England to England
farthermost colony. He is going to
hunt up the girl whose picture he
saw. He is answering tn ecall of
the occult.
You may credit this to some hyp-
motto influence if you wish. You
may call this mere chance-that a
man, susceptible, say the picture
of a pretty girl, and decided that
she measured up to his ideas, and
wanted her-that there was moth
ing mysterious about it at all-that
is farther than the general mystery
