Senator Bristow was well fortified
with facts when he asasiled Senator
Aldrich's record in the construction
OF the Aldrich-Payne tariff bill.
zAldrich owned, at The time that he
used his influence to have the duty
on manufactures of rubber raised five
per cent. in the crude rubber concern
called the Continental Rubber
Company, of common stock. $4,000
shares, valued at $2,5OO,OO0, and of
preferred stock $3.50 shares, valued
at $25O,O00 making total valua-
ton of $3,O25,O0O This stock was
made more valuable because the duty
on crude rubber tended to increase the
profit of the United States Rubber
Company, largely controlled by the
Rockefeller kindred of Senator Aldrich
and consequently to assist in the sales
and the prices of the Inter-Cont.nen5
tai, from whom the United States COM
pany purchased its raw material. The

after the rubber business was pathetic
in its parental solicitude; almost as
