presented that would do simple justice

the glove and hosiery schedules, about
which so much had been said, and de-
clared that under the bill they would
be sold as cheaply as they were today,
with American workmen and better
workmanship. He pleaded with his
colleagues to look beyond their DIS
tricts And for Gods sake hasten the
passage of the bill.

desired action and not talk. He then

WASHINGTON. April 5.-That the
Democratic senators who have local IN

them. will not feel called upon to al
low the declarations of the Denver
platform to stand in the way of their
opposing such reductions is made evil
dent by letter which Senator Sim
mons of North Carolina has written
on the subject of the tariff on lumber.
He takes tho position that the
Democratic pledge of tariff for reve-
nue. only was made with reference to
the whole tariff system and that there
fore it does not apply to any indivldual
article
Did the Democrats" he asks. mean
to promise free lumber without any
regard to the character of the general
measure of which it was to be a part
or the discrimination that would 70
suit if that measure covered with
highly protective or prohibitOry duties.

classification? He answers his own
question in the negative and says that
ito give the declaration that construc-
ton would be holding to the letter If
that promise while disregardinS its
spirit
He then declares that the tariff nn
lumber is already low as compared
with the duty on other building ma
terials, such as steel, iron and cement
and adds IF We are to have a tariff
after protection it would seem unjust
to protect one industry and not ln-
other. or to protect the industries ut
one section of the country and not
those of another" He declares, how =
ever, that even the present duty Of 50
on lumber is on the revenue basis and
he promises to do all that he can to
maintain the rate.
