Washington, D. c.. Aug. 12-Senator

enumerating the counts under (which he
was indicted by senator Joseph W. Bris-

speeches dealing with the tariff on rub
Der, In n LENGTHY letter denies the
charges in their entirety.
Incidentally he pays his respects in
caustic language TO senator BristOw and
what he terms a little group" oflnen-
who entertain opinions similar to those
of the Kansas senator.
The letter is addressed to William B.
Mckinley of Illinois, chairman OFT the
Republican congressional committee. and
was sent to the headquarters of the
committee here.
Referring TO the charges made bv
senator BristOw as absurd misstate-
mentS," senator Aldrich said the per-
sistent resteration of them inpelle6 him
to make a full statement. At the outset
OF his long letter the senator divided
che speeches by Mr.. BristoTy into five
parts, each of which contained a srpecifjc
charge. He then dealt with them in
order.
In the first place the senator declared
the increase from so to So percent on
small number of articles of manIfac-
tured rubber was for the purpose of
making the tariff uniform on kindred
articles and facilitating the labors of
the customs officials.

charge made by MIR. Bristow, the chair

| of weak mind and character The re-
| dictionary prince Metternich still con-
trolled Austrian policies In 1910 Fred
! erick William " succeeded to the
throne Of the FohenzolleTns. He began
his reign by inaugurating a liberal po-
| litical policy, and he succeeded in doing
q great deal for his ,,cuijle. But he was
thoroughly imbued with the traditional
Hohenzollern notions of the divine right
of kings In 1847, yielding TO pressure,
| he summoned to Berlin a United Diet,
which was not 4 parliament, but a mere
combination Of the on-representative
provincial diets established by his faith
er. When the diet assembled the king
! declared that nothing would induce him
TO coneede a constitution, or to change
the natural relations between a prince
and his subjects.
I Third French Revolution.
When, in 184S, the third Frinch rovo-
lution broke out, its effect was instantly
felt in all parts of Germany It was
the most widespread movement for pop
ular government ever known in Ger
many, and it was Immediately recogniz-
ed by the princes of the smaller states
who appointed liberal ministers and
granted many of the demands of the
people. The revolution was most SER
iOus in the two most powerful states,
Prussia and Austria. A popular rising
! in Vienna forced prince Metternich to
flee to England and the emperor was
obliged to summon diet 20 be elected
/ by universal suffrage.
In Prussia the revolution was even
more violent. On March IS, and for sew
eral succeeding days, there were sharp
contests between the soldiers and the
people in Berlin On March II, the king,
who was personally popular, promised
to grant the constitution which. less
than year before, he had sworn never
to concede. The next day the people
gathered before the royal palace to de-
mand that the troops be sent out of
Berlin Suddenly two shots were fired
Nobody knew from whence they came.
but they were the signal for a fierce
struggle between the troops and the
people which continued far into the
night, and in which more than zoe lives
were lost. Next day the king issued
orders for the election of a parliament.
The Frankfort Parliament
In the meantime, the other German
states, exclusive of Austria and Prus-
STA, assembled a provisional parliament
ar Frankfort, which decided that ma
tional assembly should be elected by
the German people. The confederate
diet, thoroughly frightened. recognized
the authority Of this provisional par
lament The national assembly met in
Frankfort in May and elected the arch
duke John Of Austria as the head of a
new PROVISIONAL central government
The diet thereupon ceased TO exist.
Four days later the Prussian parIia-
ment met in Berlin, but could do moth.
ing but quarrel. 1t finally broke up.
and a new parliament was summoned
TO meet in February. 1919, tc consider
a constitution published by the king.

The Austrian diet met in Vienna in

July, 1S4S, but it also was powerless
because of its lack of homogenity. The
Hungarians demaded complete indie
pendence, and under the leadership of
KosSuth, began a revolution. The re-
vOlutiOnists captured Vienna, and it
was retaken by the Imperialists only
after sevral bloody encounters. In the
midst of this storm the emperor, Fer
dinand, on December ], 1S4S, abdicated
in favor of his nephew. Francis Joseph,
who still reigns.
The Frankfort assembly was consider
ing a new union. Austria proper was
desired as a member of the new Ger
man state, but the Austrians were I'M
willing to come in unless they brought
with them Hungary and the other non
German parts of the Austrian empire
A powerful party then was formed with
the purpose of excluding Austria alto
gether from Germany. A majority de-
cided that a president should be ap-
pointed in whose family the honor
should be hereditary. under the title of
the emperor of the Germans. This po-
sition and title was offered to Freder-
lex William Of Prussia, but he declined
1t because he said he could not accept
the title unless it was offered with
the consent of the German princes. The
offer coming from the representatives
of the German people was not accepta-
bic.
The Hungarian Uprising.
In the next year the original Hunga-
rian revolution occupied all the atten.
ton OF Austria, and the king of Prus-
STA seized the opportunity to form
confederation of German states under
Prussian leadership, without Austria.
In May, 1S49, an alliance was concluded
between Prussia, Hanover and Saxony,
called the German union. Austria, be-
ginning to recover from the Hungarian
revolution, Joined with Bavaria and
Wurttemberg in a call for a 1eassem-
bly, of the diet at Frankfort while the
princes of the northern states met in
Berlin This threatened war between
the north and south, and the chaotic
conditions were not improved. The quar-
rel between Prussia and Austria went so
far that the customs union appeared
to be falling to pieces, but in 1853 a
treaty Of commerce between Prussia
and Austria saved the Zollverein.
In 1s49 the second Prussian parlia-
ment met and after Quarreling with
the government for nearly a year, mu-
tuaI concessions were made a consti-
tuition was adopted, and on February
s, 1850, the king of Prussia took an
oath to support and maintain the new

Religious and Social Troubles
German affairs seemed to be in
hopeless tangle in the few years imme-
diately following the adoption of the
PruSsian constitution. But the Jealous
les of the rival states; the enmity of
Catholics and Protestants; the aristo-
cratic fear of the growing force of dem
ocracy; and all the other agents of dis
union were gradually losing strength.

the German race; the economic demand

of his family ever has had any pecuniary
interest as to whether the rates on man
ufactures of rubber were so, 50 or 500
percent, or whether crude rubber was on

Dealing then with charges that the
Inter Continental Rubber company. OF
which he is a director. is a trust, that
it advanced the price OF crude rubber and
controlled the world supply and that the
company had paid enormous dividends,
MIR. Aldrich treated eacE at great
length.
Without raising any issue concerning
the '.Progressives' campaign generally
Mr.. Aldrich referred to Mr.. BriStOw and
his immediate associates as follows:
I'm the tariff discussions OF other
DAYS. the advocates OF the Pro--essive
policy usually have been called to meet
in debate men with convictions on the
Embellishments of character, whose
theories of government differed COM
pletly from those held by Republican
professionalism who had some re-
gard for the accuracy of their state
ments and some knowledge of the sub
ject they discussed.
Now attacks upon Republican meas
lIres are led by men whose political eX-
isteHce depends upon their capacity
and to this there seems to be no end
for misrepresentation ard the ignorance
OF their adherents. Strangely enough,
this little group of men-verv small m
MEMBERSHIPS arrogated to itself the
leadership Of the PrOgressives and its
members pirate about the treatment of
the tariff as a moral question.
Neither the Inter Continental Rub
Der company nor any of its subordinate
companies have ever had the slightest
interest, direct or indirect. in the manu-
facture of any article covered Nv the
change in rates on rubber manufactures
in the paragraph alluded to or other
wise: and neither the Inter Continental
Rubber company nor any of its subordi-
nate companies have ever had any part
in any combination, agreement, arrange
