FRIDAY EVENING, MAY IA, 1909.

BY A vote Of 81 to "A, the duty on
iron ore was yesterday evening settled
nv the Senate at 20 cents ton. The
duty in the present DiDgley bill is 40
cents. The House placed iron ore on
the free list. Senators Rsyner and
Smith. of Maryland, auds number OF
the republican prOgressIves, made GAL
liant fight to amend the Senate bill BY
restoring iron ore to the free list. De-
lection among the democrats proved even
stronger than the opposition OF the re-
publicsns, however. Democrats Ike
Senators Daniel, OF Virginia; Bailey, OF
Texas; TiIImsU, Of South Carolina; the
senators from Georgia and the senators
from Alabama all showed their opposi-
ton to admitting iron ore free. Mr..
Beverage jointly tainted the democratic
senators by pointing ont how "protec'
ton duty" on the republican side be-
came a "duty for revenue" the moment
It crossed over to the democratic side.
but his tauuts availed nothing. Or the
% votes cast 10 favor of free iron ore,
nearly one-half were republican votes.
II WAS q mere handful of democrats who
supported Senators Rayner and Smith.
Democratic senators voted for the COM
mittee amendment as follows: Bacon,
Bailey, Chamberlain, Clay, Daniel,
Fletcher, Foster, Frazier, Johnston
(Ala.), McEnery, Martin, Psynter, Sim
mons, Stone, TslisferrO, Taylor and
Tillmau. Republicans who voted sgainst
the amendment are: Beverage, Borsh,
Bristow, Brown, Burkett, Oummlns,
Curtis, Deliver, dupont, Gamble, La
Toilette and Nelson. The action OF the
democrats in voting as they did is mex
plcable aud they should be held to 3
strict accountability by their constitu-
ants. There was 8 time when party
discipline was upheld, when q man who
voted contrary to his party platform
would have forfeited his seat in Congress
aud it should be 90 now.
10 speaking Of the action of the DEM
ocrstic senators a Philadelphia republic
can paper, but with tariff revision down
ward procivities, however, thus holds
them up to just censure;
Almost in a body the democrats of the
SSeuste deserted the republican tariff re-
yisinnists and took their stand with Sem
ator Aldrich for protection upon iron
ore. 1t was ludicrous aud at the same
time 40 illuminstive incident, for 1t not
only revealed the close relations exist
ing between Aldrich and his democratic
allies. but Il served to show how q tariff
for protection and tsrf for revenue
may mean exactly the same thing TO
men greedy for special benefits through
legislation. The democratic votes were
of enormous value to Aldrich. II the
duty could have been removed from iron
ore, it was the hope of the prOgressives
thst a corresponding reduction in all
duties upon iron and steel manufactures
could be obtained. Aldrich insisted
upon maintaining the ore duty as the
basis of his entire schedule. So it fol-
lows that such demonstration of his
control IS was made yesterday cannot
fail to discourage sll hope that any ma
terisl reductions in the metsl schedules
lie now possible.

Sixty-first Congress.
Washington, Nay IA.
SENATE.

SA-N a
The first item in the metal schedules
to claim the attention OF the Senate to-
day Was paragraph lie, scrap iron and
pig iioD. Ga Mr.. Aldrich's suggestion II
was passed over for future action.
The Ssuate approved paragraph III
which places tariff Of three-tenlos OF
one cent pound on bsr-iroD.
Senator Cummins made determined
fight against the approval of paragraph
ll8 Of the bill which proposed tuty OF
$l2 ton on round iron and OF $o q ton
on iron slabs and blooms.
Senator Oliver said that round iron
was not made by the steel trust or the
big independent companies.
Mr.. Aldrich said he feared that the
Senate committee had made two deep a
cut 10 the rates under discussion and
that If any change was made 10 the
rates reported by the committee 1t should
be an increase. Mr.. Cummins express
ed the belief that the duty proposed by
his amendment would amply protect
the producers OF iron in this country.
Charging that the government has
lost 1884, 099, 557 10 the last eight years,
which it might have collected in revenue
from tobacco, aud that OF this amount
1920, 900, 900 has gone into the pockets
of the tobacco trust because Of its con-
tinued sale Of short-weight packages,
Senator Baveridge today offered an
amendment to the tariff increasing the
rates of the tobacco schedule. In sup
port of his amendment, Mr.. Bsveridge
said that it would bring in at least $2l, :
46l, 954 more revenue each year than the
present bill would produce.
Saying that nothing enters into every
household snd every department OF bust
ness more than the products Of iron and
steel, Senstor Bacon advanced the opin-
ion that the tariff rates on those articles
ought to be reduced as much as possible.
For himself, he was ready to vote to put
sll the larger sndhesVier sorts Of iron,
like rails, on the free list. he insisted
that American manufacturers could hold
their own against the world, and that
that fact vas shown By their ability to
sell their products abroad for less prices
than at home.

The Herald had a most interesting
visitor this morning in the person of
Master Ben Greenwood. He was ac-
companied by his father, but it is of
Ben we are writing. The little man
came into our office bearing gifts for
other children-a great bundle of
clothing and shoes and hats, and a
large valise filled with toys, many of
them, to make glad the hearts of
other little boys and girls. He gave
his gifts gladly and with a knowledge
that he was offering happiness to
other little boys and girls. 1t was a
fine thing to do, and all who hear of
it will wish that Master Ben may have
the happiest Christmas possible and
that he may have many of them, and
that he will always keep a sweet
heart that hears the call that every
man-and every little boy-is his
brothers keeper Thanks.

The management says:
William Gross and Gladys Jackson
made the biggest hit at the New
Lyric Theatre last night of any vaude-
vile team that has yet appeared at
this popular little playhouse. They
are well known here; in fact, are
general favorites in Palestine, having
appeared here for the past several
seasons with the Matinee Girl Co., and
they were greeted with tremendous
applause when they made their ap-
pearance on the stage at the Lyric
last night. The audience expressed
itself as well pleased with their pre-
sentation of 1.-The Chef" which is a
delightful, funny comedy playlet. Mr.
VIM. Gross is a fine German character
comedian, and he tells his jokes and
sings in a manner that keeps his au
dience going all the time His wife is
a charming little lady, and has a
sweet voice and winsome manner that
never fails to please. They will be
at the Lyric again tonight and tomor
row matinee and night, making
change of acts at each performance,
and no doubt will be greeted with
large houses, as they were last night.
The motion pictures projected last
night and the music furnished by
Trieces Orchestra were all up to the
usual high standard of the Lyric.
