be no more cruel repression of an in
dustry than by law adding 80 per cent.
to the cost of its production and then
forcing it into competition on the one
hand with the foreign product which,
on account OF difference in labor cost,
stumpage cost and the cost of trans
portation can be produced at 80 per
cent. less, and on the other hand fore
ing a competition with a product of on

been enhanced 30 per cent. by the pro-
tectiVe tariff"
How do you square you advocacy of
tariff on lumber with the declaration
of the national Democratic platform Of
19oS?' Mr.. Dixon. Mont, inquired.
Simmons asserted that there was 10
difficulty about that. That platform,
he maintained declared for a tariff for
revenue and he did not believe the
Dngley rate on lumber was more than
a revenue rate
Why single out this industry for
discrimination and Slaughter he ask
ed. Such action, he said, could not b.
justified except upon grounds and rea-
sons of extreme necessity and over
whelminG urgency. But he did not be-
lieve that such reasons existed. In this
connection Simmons took occasion 10
announce that he was not a free trader
Hale suggested that under the VIII
son German law free lumber had flood
ed the ports and market places of New
England and even extended to the ports
of the Chesapeake The result was,
he said, complete prostration of the
lumber industry in the United States
for the benefit Of the Canadian pro-
Queer.

Democratic platform Of 1908, which de-
clared for free lumber, was injected
into the discussion by Republican sen
ators. Mr.. Bacon Of Georgia remarked
that he was not bound by declarations
written into a platform at midnight by
few interested men. Mr.. Burkett of
Nebraska. whose home city is Lincoln,
sought to state when and where the
Democratic platform actually was
drawn. but Mr.. Simmons refused to
yield time to prolong that discussion.
Mr.. Brown of Nebraska advocated Il
constitutional amendment. the collec-

that 1t might be possible that two of
