high protection think new act nee
essary. or those who oppose protection
wage successful warfare and are able
to make their own revenue measure"
Mr. cummins said the Senators
should not wait until either OF these
conditions Is reached. but all those
who believe any schedule is excess
sive should favor the proposed rule.
He could understand why the Demo-
Gratis would opposite it. because they
await their opportunity to fame an
act for revenue only. but the atti-
tude of the Republicans was mex
plicahie. he said.
Il cannot understand said Mr..
Cummins. why We should stand here
inert and helpless. j am one who
believes in the doctrine Of protection
based on the cost OF production at
home and abroad. but we should from
time to time amend and correct the
mistakes OF 1909. The rules prevent
this, and we must confess that err
rors were made and now cannot be
remedied."
Continuing, the Senator declared
he would do all possible IL change

Senator Cahter tRepublican. of Mon

II thought the senator was about to

Mr. Cummins.
II think the tariff should Re taken

'That would give us the substance OF
the bill. and doubt whether the pro.
