SENATOR DOLLIVER
RESUMES ASSAULT
ON TARIFF BILL
Considers It a Compliment
to Have Aldrich Insinuate
That His Arguments Are
Similar to Those Made by
Senator Vest Dozen Years
Ago.
Especial from United Press.)

Washington, May 5. With his
strength renewed by a nights rest
Senator Dolliver resumed to-day his
assault on the Aldrich tariff bill in the
Senate. AS a result of his interesting
Tits with Chairman Aldrich yesterday,
the galleries were closely packed be-
fore Vice-President Sherman called
the senate to order at IL o'clock.
when the session closed yesterday"
Mr.. Dolliver said, ST was making con-
siderable progress toward proving that
substantial, unknown and unknowab1e
advances had been made in the cot
ton schedule by the Senate committee.
The day closed with a somewhat hur-
ried and excited statement of the Sen
ator from Rhode Island (Aldrich) that
it would be shown that no changes had
been made. The fact is, the phrase
ology and the framework of the cotton
schedules have been SO changed as to
make serious differences in rates, plen-
ty of them in the wrong direction.
Dolliver said that Aldrich had
threatened to disparage him by print
ing in the Record arguments similar
to his, that were made by two Demo-
cratic Senators, Jones and Vest, a doz-
en- years ago. Dolliver added that if
it was true that Vest had found the
same defects in the mysterious sched-
ules then. that Dolliver had found by
hard study now, it would be a comph-
mSnC, because rev STedler IHSl lIidu
Vest had ever sat in the Senate. He
continued:
81 object to these amendments. We
are told that they originated in the
customs offices in New York If that
were true, it would be a sad commen-
tary on the senate, but it is not true
Long before the senate committee was
appointed manufacturers had submit
ted these schedules to the house COM
mittee, asserting that they had been
o. KID by the government inspectors
in New York"
He had been sneered at, Dolliver
said, because he had sought advice
and Information about these schedules.

called for but absurd, in view of the
