company, after these mergers were COM
pleted which was on December s, 1909,
had within three months and four days,

rich, In substance, admits, though he
said In his first statement that the only
element of truth In my entire discussion
OF the rubber duty was that the duty
was increased and that he was stock
holder In the company.
Il stated that the Inter Continental
company owns the capital stock OF five
other companies. In addition TO those
absorbed by the mergers referred to, and
IL owned several million acres OF land
in Mexico and was producing from Its
factories from 100000 TO 100000 pounds
OF crude rubber per month.
This Mr., Aldrich admits in his state
ments. yet ne declares that the only
element of truth in reference 70 the rub
Der duty was the fact that the duty was
increased on the manufacturers and that
he was a stockholder In the 1nter-Conu-
mental Rubber company.
"I stated also that the Inter- Continen-
tai Rubber company owned a controlling
interest IN the capital stock OF the Amer
ican-Congo company organized through
the concessions given by the Belgium
government and IT controlled under this
acres of land on the Congo in Africa
This Mr. Aldrich neither affrms or de-
nies. but he knows II is true.
Advance in Rubber.
''I stated that since the tariff bill has
passed and since the absorption OF these
other companies by the Inter-Continental
Rubber company the price of manutaG-
tured rubber has advanced to the people
of the United States about % per cent.
This Mr.. Aldrich admits. He denies that
he or his family have any interest In any
concern manufacturing rubber. or that
controls the price of crude rubber. Mr..
Aldrich knows that the Gugsenheims.
Thomas F. Ryan. II. P. Whitney and
himself are the controlling influences in
this Inter-Continental Rubber company,
and under It's charter. from which have
quoted. 1t is empowered TO transact any
Ing the gospel. and that it. through the
organization OF subsidiary companies.
does transact business In various parts OF
the world. that il handles large quanti-
ties OF crude rubber; that II was organ
lied for the purpose OF getting control OF
the market and 10 supply crude rubber
and other things, and by the controlling
OF the supply OF crude rubber, that every
manufacturing concern in America would
be absolutely under It's control,

Rockefeller organized the oil business,
Ryan the tobacco business, and the Gug-
genheims the lead and smelling business

''Ie admits that the increased duty on
rubber was an added protection given
to the manufacturers when ~ was not
needed; that as result OF this Increased
duty, they could advance the price TO the
American consumer without danger of
competition from foreign sources, and.
therefore. Mr.. Aldrichs, company would

higher prices. II they refused to patron
lie him under his charter, he has ample
power to engage In any kind Of competi-
lion with them. and would be backed by
the Ryans, the GuEgenheims and Rookie
feller. and no sensible man In business
would dare TO undertake to compete with
these powerful interests.
''Mr. Aldrich further admits that the
Increased duty on manufactured rubber
resulted In decreasing importations, This
Mr. Cannon in Kansas denied, and stated
in n public address at Emporia that I
made false statements In regard TO such
decreased importations. Mr.. Aldrich, in
his, statement, admits that was right
ments. Mr.. Aldrtch admits that the an
nual production OF from thirty TO forty
million dollars worth of crude rubber
produced on his plantations In Mexico
comes into the United States without
paying any duty OF taxes to the general
government. and In his own statement
says that he increasedd duties on the
products OF the American factories, his
customers. thereby aiding them to mo-
nopollZe the American market, enabling
them TO pay him better prices for the
raw material which he had 10 sell. and
which they had TO have. yet he declares
that he had no interest In the increasing
of duties.
THE long letter submitted from Shar-
retts IS one OF those ridiculous statements
that this man Sharretts is accustomed
10 make to suit the convenience Of Mr.
Aldrich when there is an explana ton in
regard to the tariff bill. 1t is a long In
volved effort to mislead and deceive those
who are patient enough 10 read II, and
has no practical bearing, on the case.
II should have been glad IL Mr. Aldrich
had said something about the lead and
the Guggenheim smelling trust and about
Mr., Lippits testimony In regard TO the
increased duty on cotton cloths. and
stated why he put increased duties on
these cloths when the manufacturers said
they did not want it,"
