PLUMLEY TAKES ISSUE
CONGRESSMAN FOSS
Vermont Congressman Answered the
Massachusetts, Man at a Rally Held
In Burlington Last Night.

Burlington. Sept. 3--At a Republican
rally IN the city han last night. Con-
gresham Frank plumley took issue with
Congressman Foss Of Massachusetts, who
had spoken in this city earlier in the
week After reviewing Congressman
Foss many connections with corporations
he declared that Mr.. Foss did not leave
the Republican party because Of the tar

said Mr.. Plumley, Mr.. Foss did not de-.
tail one particular item Of any schedule
Of the tariff OF 1909. showing where ID
was wrong and not right He did not

means when II was IN session at Wash
ington for the revision of the tariff
and state 70 that committee conditions
which should cause the removal Of the
tariff.
Mr.. Plumley said that there was a
decided lack Of logic IN Mr. Foss state.
ments when he said that free food prod

admitted, the country is exporting food
then the price IS fixed by the markets
abroad What then, Is the need Of any
change In fact the fariH Is helping
the farmer because - Is the producer
Of food ard the ultimate consumer Of
tho products Of the manufacturer.
Congressman Foss said here that the
tariff bill was apolorized for hy the
Republicans, but that ii Il not true.
President Taft cannot 1e taken a. an
apology. Because q man starts out TO
do great and noble thing and has BY
force of circumstance. 10 compromise or
something that IS little less great,
that Is not failure The tariff must
be equalized all Over the country. and
II was reduced as low as it could be
at that time and still safeguard interests
OF all
There was a reason for every step
in the tariff revision. Nearly ali iron
and steel was reduced By the tariff Of
1909, as against the Dingley tariff. The
duty On btuminous coal was reduced
from As cents to Is cents, that on iron
ore from 40 to Is cents. on pig iron
from 81 to $3.50, on wrought iron from
$4 to 81, all per ton.
The duty on structural steel, it IS
true was not reduced but raised. It
was found at the time the tariff was
revised, that San Francisco was being
rebuilt with steel manufactured in Ger.
many, as also was the Singer building
in New York City. The Germans could
under the old tariff, send structural steel
into this country cheaper than the mills
at Pittsburg could make il. Did that
furnish work for American working
men2
The duty on manufactured cotton
stockings was raised because they were
being imported into this country from
abroad while our textile workers went
idle. OF the 1000 items in the Dingley
tariff G54 were decreased by The Payne
bill, 200 were increased and about 1000
remained unchanged. Is this revision
