 IF TARIFF & Bailey Again Locks Horns
 With Bryan
 " THE DUTIES AND REVENUES
Texas Senator Explains the Difference Between His Kind of Democratic Tax and That of the Nebraska Orator

Dallas. Tex. Sept. 1S.-United States Senator J. w Bailey tonight replied to the address delivered here last Tuesday by w. J. Bryan on Democracy and the Tariff" Mir. Bryan declared for free raw material and reduced rates on manufactured goods and severely arraigned the Texas democratic platform of 1896, which denounced this doctrine
 Senator Bailey contended tonight for low revenue duties on both raw material and manufactured articles. Senator Bailey declared the Texas platform was in harmony with the tariff plank of the national demo- cratic platform of 1896, when Bryan was a candidate. Taking up four reasons advanced by Bryan in favor of free raw materials, Bailey made d reply to each.
 My answer to those who demand free raw material is that I am willing to take the tax off raw material whenever our manufacturers will take the tax off the finished products. Mr. Bryan's second argument against a duty on raw material is that it is at last a duty on the consumers. This is strange language to come from a man who has been three times d presidential candidate of the demo- cratic party. To contend that a democratic must levy compensatory duty is to convict the democratic party of adopting the worst of pro lection devices. MT. Bryan's third reason for supporting the doctrine of free raw materials is that the tax is fightest when it is imposed on prod ucts at the most advanced stage.
 Bryan declares the consumer finds that other things being equal, the tax is the cheapest when it is levied upon the finished product only," con- tinued Bailey. That undoubtedly would be true under a system of republican taxation because they levy their compensatory and differentiaI duties for the sole purpose of en- abling the manufacturer to take from the consumer every species of tax which he has been compelled to pay. but under the democratic system of tariff for revenue only, the duty would be fixed at the lowest rate consistent with the revenue necessi- ties of the government

EXPLORERS
 INTERVIEWED Cook and Peary Both Talk
 By Wireless BOTH HAVE CONFIDENCE
Certain They Can Prove Their Claims-Each Calls Attention to the Unrelia- bility of Statements At tributed to the Other

Battle Harbor. Sept 1S.-(By Mar conf Wireless via Cape Ray. N. F. The Arctic steamer Roosevelt, with Peary aboard, sailed from here at a. m. today for sydney. Captain Bartlett received orders from Peary to have the Roosevelt ready on Sat urday morning for the voyage to Sydney. and also to time his arrival at that port so they might reach there about II o'clock Tuesday morn ing.
 Peary was asked before his de- parture what he would have done if he had fallen sick at the pole, with no one in the exploring party capable of taking observations. To this he replied: My last moment would have been devoted to taking observa- tions in order to leave the record. l would not permit anything to inter- fere with that important duty, and l would have handed the records to Eskimos to take to Mrs Peary- IT I had died within sight of the pcle, I would have had to depend on my Eskimos to tell how far they travelled from the last supporting party, or on my observations. My records are very complete and most carefully kept They are sealed in skins and parchments. so that if thrown on ice or in water they probably would drift for years without sinking or without being damaged, and eventually would be found. This priceless package will not be opened until I arrive in New York.
 Commander Peary confirms the statement that four Eskimos were with him at the pole. He says he has made no statement different from this. Would you become an Ameri- can citizen if you were offered the command of the Roosevelt to go to Rehring sea?" was a question which Captain Bartlett was asked. and to which he replied: You bet I would" Captain Bartlett intends to apply for an American masters certificate at present The only man on the Roose- welt who met Cook in Greenland was the boatswain, John Murphy. who was left at Etah when the Roose- welt went to her winter quarters. What Murphy knows about the alleged taking of Cooks supplies he has not disclosed to anyone. with the possible exception of Peary.
 Peary adheres to his determination not to disclose the proofs he says he has against Cook until the main prOpOsition-the direct claim of Cook. with his records-is submitted. The commander was shown a dispatch from Washington that the Geograph- ical Society would like to acknowledge both Polar claims but in view of the dispute must technically decline to ac- cept either until the matter had been investigated, and he said: That suits me"
 Harry Whitney, who is on the Schooner Jeannie, is likely to arrive in touch with civilization any day now, from his polar bear hunt on the coast of Greenland. He is reported to have Cooks records in his possession, and it is said here Whitney has stated that Cook told him he had been at the pole It is said also that Whitney is going to South America with Cook on hunting expedition.

has been to the pole and will prove II, stiil waits proof. As to the affirm ation that Peary has evidence to refute my statement, that evidence is based on the word of Murphy the boatswain. who is unable to read or write have already expressed my readiness to place my observations before a com mittee from scientific bodies and the verdict of that committee will justify my story.
 Cook has received dozens of dis. patches daily inviting him to banquets and other functions. He is ready to accept some of these invitations Many offers also have been made for lec- lures and magazine articles and on other propositions which Cook has de- clined without exception.
 The Oscar II was off Sable island at 1:SO this evening, when the report was received that Peary was still at Battle Harbor. Cook said: 'I greatly regret that Peary is not returning at the same time that I am I should have liked to meet him face to face in New York
 Referring to the final examination of his records and instruments. Cook said: Within two months at the out side. probably earlier. my records and instruments all will be ready for the official tests. I shall then send them to Copenhagen university, which has the first claim, as it was the first to officially recognize my work in the discovery of the pole. After that they will be at the disposal of any expert committee which the scientific and geographical societies care to form Cook said he does not intend to re- sume practice as physician.
 Director General Cold of the steam ship company, who has been his con- stant companion on the OscsF II, when he heard of Peary's charges, said: "Peary is acting like a drown- ing man clutching at a straw
 Cook was visibly moved by the strains of familiar melodies which he had not heard for more than two years. The skin suit in which the ex- plorer returned from Upernavik was exhibited on the upper deck today and aroused great interest. Dozens of cameras were turned upon it, and upon Cook. who declined ali requests to put on the suit. He has submitted to being photographed with great good humor. As a matter of fact the eploxrer has been photo graphed in company, virtually, with every passenger aboard at various times. Cook says he would like to avoid any demonstration at the land ing He desires first of all to see his wife and family.

SUNDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 1s, 1909

Under this plan the Eastern. canal settlers organized, contract was let for construction of the canal, the con- tractors taking their pay largely in certificates, but securing also a suffi- cient cash bonus from the settlers to offset the interest on their probable investment pending the time when the certificates would be in demand by land owners to make payments to the government.
 The meat of Mir. Biens' dispatch is that while the cooperative system is to be abandoned. the construction of the Eastern canal may continue and the contractors will get their money

Omaha and Council Bluffs Without
 Car Service.

Omaha, Sept. 1s.-The street car system of Omaha and Council Bluffs was unexpectedly put out of com mission today when trainmen went on strike. The walkout was so un- expected that not even street railway officials were prepared for it. The strike came just when the city of Omaha was preparing to entertain the president of the United States and several national conventions of fraternal orders and other organiza- tions. Taft will arrive in the city Monday afternoon. The first lawless- ness as a result of the strike occurred late tonight, when several strikers bounced upon and beat Policeman Timms- Two strikers were arrested.

 There were 35.409 paid admissions, 10000 persons being damned back of ropes in right center and left fields. The crowd was a very orderly one, and amused itself during the wait for the play to begin by smash ing every straw hat which appeared on the scene. The victim in nearly every case took it good naturedly

LIGHT VOTE CAST
 BUT BONDS CARRIED
The First Step in Providing More
 Facilities for Phoenix Schools.

The election yesterday on the ques- ton of school district No. l. Phoenix, issuing bonds in the sum of s125.OOO for the purchase of building sites and the construction of three new school buildings, resulted affirmatively, Tor which nearly everybody will be glad. The vote was 54 to s.
 It is to be regretted that there was not a larger vote, if only for the ap- pearance of things, but at any rate, it shows the unanimity of sentiment. The objectors to any proposition are always out in force, it's friends as- sembling only when there is work to do. hence it may be said the bonds carried almost unanimously.

the country independent of foreign

On the other hand, there is an ele-
ment among the Republicans, who de-

speeches and in the national platform

Between the Republicans, who wish

Democrats who wish the same benefit

THE DEMO-PUBs

II Is a remarkable fact that most
OF the well directed opposition to the
SCHEDULES OF the Payne bill comes
from the Republican senators. The
Democrats, who profess to be for free
trade, have failed utterly to take any
caucus action, and Democratic mem
bers express themselves in favor of
high tariff on the products OF their
respective districts and low tariff
on products consumed in their respec-
tive districts and produced elsewhere.
We must give them credit for reflect
ing popular sentiment, gross and
selfish and narrow as II may be. They
expect TO be reelected from those dis
trlcts they favor. and realize they
have nothing to fear from the voters
outside their district.
The Republicans are agreed upon
one thing. They all favor the pro-
tectiye system According to the
definition of President Taft, that is
ouch discriminative duty imposed on
imported goods, as will make up the
difference between cost Of production
In this country and abroad, taking
into consideration the difference in
the wage scale.

constitutes protection, and how far

DUN's REVIEW.

New York. April 24.-Faith in the
future is more pronounced than the
satisfaction with immediate condi-
tons, and there is no more note
worthy feature of the trade outlook
than the steadily growing confidence
that, with the tariff discussion out of
the way, and with the years principle
crops assured, progress toward full in
dustrlal prosperity will be rapid.
Theefore, the better prospect of a
comparatively early final vote on the
tariff and the improving weather and
crop conditions. coupled with the
knowledge Of abundant money and
the big gold output are favorable to
expansion and inspire courage.
The fact that lower prices are
stimulating a more active demand for
iron and steel products also aids in
this development. With some i'm

prices have held firm IN primary cot
ton goods, although Just at present
the export trade has again fallen on
to small proportions.
A better market is in evidence on
coarse yarn goods which has been
quiet for some time. In the wooden
goods division practically all clothing
statesmen are now on the road and
considerable duplicate business is al
ready reported. Very fair demand Is
noted on wool goods and on worsted
stocks. many lines are sold up. while
others are sharply advanced in

In the hide market pronounced
