both countries, and that therefore 1t
would make no difference from which
country the timber must be cut. He
also argued that the only people who
would be benefited by free lumber
from Canada would be the lumber
buyers along the Canadian border.
In another connection Mr.. Bailey de-
clared that he could not answer to his
judgment and his conscience as DEM
ocrat for votdng to put lumber on the
free list, while glass. hardware, ce-
ment, paint and every other necessary
material are subject to a duty of more
than 80 per cent.
Mr.. BaileY's speech was in the main
devoted to an effort to show that free
raw material was not cardinal DEM
ocratic doctrine and that he had never
advocated such doctrine. He was will
ing to admot that during the time
when Mr.. Cleveland and his friends
dominated our party. they did commit
1t ito the supreme folly of giving our
manufacturers free trade in what they
buy while leaving them protection on
what they SELL" He had, however, in
season and out of season denounced
this as radical departure from the
we'll established principles and poll
cies Of the democratic fathers. After
citing many authorities he traced the
advocacy of free raw material to the
late Hon. Abram S. Hewitt OF New
York, but declared that this doctrine
had never Commanded any substan-
tial support among the leaders or with
the rank and file of that sturdy dem
ocracy which won so many victories
and administered this government with
such consummate wisdom thru so
many years.
Concluding, Mr.. Bailey expressed
confidence that the time would come
when, with a democratic majority in
the senate, he would be called upon
to aid in passing democratic tariff
bill, and he said he did not desire to
then be upbraided for casting a vote
against the principles of the old time
democracy. "At their side l stand. and
with them am ready to be judged. de-
claring, as I have always done. and as
shall do with my latest breath, that
the sum of all good governments is
comprehended in the maxim that all
shall enjoy equal rights, and none
shall have special privileges. {.
When my course is run there may be
many who will think that I have not
fought a good fight, but there shall be
none who can justly say that 1 have
not kept the faith"

Urges Amendment TO Tariff Bill Chang
ing Size of Packages, Which Were
Reduced When Spanish American
War Tax Was imposed - Company
Has Reaped Millions Since Repeal.

Washington, June 24.-The republi-
can members Of the senate committee
on finance today began formal consid-
GRAFTON of the proposed corporation tax
amendment to the tariff bill. They were
closeted for several hours with Sem
ator Root in consultation over various
features of the amendment as drawn
by Root and Attorney General Wick
ersham.
Unquestionahly the provision will be
accepted substantially as prepared by
those gentlemen, but with some
changes with view to making the
amendment as impervious to attack as
possible in case it should become a
law. The fact has already become
known to the members of the commit
tee that many of the strongest cor
porations in the country will not only
antagonize the provision before 1t goes
into the statute books but will do
their utmost afterwards to overthrow
it in case 1t should be so successful as
to become law.
eeveridse Says Tobacco Trust Robs.
Beveridge addressed the senate at
length today in support of his amend
ment changing the size of tobacco
packages in force since the Spanish
American war tax was levied. BY re-
pealing the tax without increasing the
size, the senator claimed the American
Tobacco Company had been the re-
cipient of many millions of dollars it
should not have received.
'The manufacturer kept on collect
ing the war tax" he explained. after
it had been taken off Instead of paying
it ito the government he paid it to
himself"
Beverldge declared that if his
amendment was adopted the govern
ment would receive more than s21, ,O00,-
600 revenue and correct the wrong
which the people had suffered for
eight years. The American tax on to-
bacco, he added. is only fraction OF
the tax of most of the other civilized
nations.

reputation, was arrested yesterday by
Sheriff. Walsh, and taken before Judge
Abrook on a charge of drunkenness.
He was allowed to go after paving the

Sheriff. Walsh sufficient money to
purchase him ticket to California.
Sheriff. Walsh purchased the ticket.
and Mr.. Binn Is now on his way to the
land of sunshine and flowers and many
Eldora citizens are glad of the rid
dance. Binn had a knack for saving
money, usually carrying deposits in the
local banks of $1,000 or more. but he
lived like a tramp. always sleeping in
barns, both winter and summer. and
taking a hand-out from some kitchen
door for his meals. Lately he had
taken to drink and had grown insolent,
and was considered dangerous char
acter by many.
