of, During the afternoon. Mr Bacon
entered upon an extended discussion
of the proposed increase over the
rates of house bin on duties on bacon
and ham. lard fresh beef. etc. Mr.
Aldrich surprised the senate by
withdrawing the committee amend
ments, saying he believed the house
rates. although below those of the
Dmgley law rates, were protective to
those Industries.
This action provoked further dis
sion Senator Rayner created eonsid-
cradle amusement by a numerous de-
scripton Of what Senator Aldrich had
oferred to as citadel of protection. "
and Senator smith of Michigan advo-
Gated a FREQ tariff or tariff for rev
enuo only.

drew the committee amendments in
reasins IT,
An effort Of AIr Bacon then to re-
onsider the paragraph relating to
fresh beef mutton, etc, in order 10
decrease the duties on these articles
was defeated.
When Senator Bacon began speak
ng on the duty on bacon and hams
ne noticed Senator Tillman conversing
With Mr.. Aldrich and protested
against the South Carolina senator
liverting the attention of Mr. Aldrich
"The senator from Rhode Island is
regarded by 50 many senators as be-
ng tho senate itself that the senator
objects TO any one talking to him
while he is speaking rctorted Mr.
Tillman
"Well, that is fact" acquiesced
Mr.. Bacon some of us have to talk
with the senator from Rhode Island, ."
said Mr.. Tnlman.
The committee on finance had rec
ommended an increase from to g
cents IL pound on bacon and hams and
Mr. Bacon opposed these amend
ments.
After Mr. Bacon had declared that
the proposed increase on bacon, hams,
lard fresh meat mutton, pork, etc.,
would endanger the welfare of the
republican party. Mr. Aldrich smil-
ingly declared that AS proposed by
those with the welfare of the republic
can party at heart he would with
draw the committee amendment in
sections ESQ. 281 ana 2S4.
This came as surprise and Mr..
Aldrich explained that he had taken
this action because he wanted to cur
tail the debate and did not believe the
lower duty provided by the house
would affect the importatlons
Senator Beseridgc indicated that ne
approved this course. Mr. Heypern
