ishing the Senate with the citation OF
a long list of cotton and wooen manu-
featuring companies and giving their

blind member from Oklahoma, today
undertook the'"t of showing that
the concerns engaged in these lines

speech was one no other Senator
would have attempted without notes,
but Gore repeated them without hesi-
tation. He said he did not blame them
| for their earnings: u know they are
intelligent citizens" he said, "judg-
ing from their business success and
from their selection Of U. s. Sena-
tors" He referred in sarcastic Ian
guage to the statement Of Senator
Lodge that the concerns made earn
ings by the sales Of real estate ac-
quired fortunately years ago. He said
that he suspected that the good nat
ured manufacturers" did not divide
their earnings with the laborers.

ness interests need not be alarmed, as
there would be no revision downward.
He said this after saying that the un-
derstanding in his state was that the
tariff would be lowered.

a quorum. These high protectionists
do not care to hear me-" This state
ment was made by Senator Nelson

sence of a quorum. 1T would do no
4 good If all were mustered in here.
They would retire again" Nelson
sustained the contention of Dolliver
in opposition to specific duties on
the cotton schedule reported by the
| finance committee. He gave extend
I
ed examples Of specific increases and
their equivalents in ad valorem rates
showing that they had been placed
/ higher than in the Dingley sched-
ules. "I have demonstrated" he

these duties from 20 per cent to
more than SO per cent over the rates
Of the present Dingley law" Later
