it had always been. carried on The

The tariff situation which confront
ed the United States congress at its
! last session was one of the most diff
cult and delicate problems, 1t ever had
to face. There were 9O000.oo0 people
in the country TO try to please There
were situations and conditions existing
| in one part of the country that did not
exist in another. and it was impossible
to satisfy all people and all conditions
in one year, OF in two. 1 can give as
an Illustration the lumber tariff.
In some parts of the country where !
lumber abounded, they desired a high
tariff, and again in other parts of the |
country where there no lumber |
manufactured the people wanted free |
| tariff on lumber.
WORKED OR TARIFF REDUCTION.
1T was like that in he main all over |
! the country and about every comm odity. |
In the main. the Payne tariff law re-
duced the tariff on all useful commodi- |
ties.s 1t raised it some, but these
were mostly on luxures and was done
not exactly as I wanted it, but I knew
it contained several good things. Mr..
| Beveridge and l worked shoulder to
shoulder in trying to succeed in getting
certain commodities reduced. We had
conferences day after day, and 1 spent
nine months of the hardest labor of
my life in the study of conditions
EXPLAINS HIS STAND.
The bill came up for it's final pass
age Mr.. Beveridge said: I am not sat
ished with it; there are things yet to
be done that must be done. 1 answer
ed him that 1 was not satisfied with it.
yet 1 thought it ould be better to vote
for it as it was. for it contained many
good points, and was as whole for the
better than to vote against it, than to
defeat it, and adjourn congress without
having accomplished anything. 1t was
merely a personal difference to the
qualities of the measure. He was sin
cere and 1 was sincere, and voted
differently. He thought it needed
further revision, and I thought that it
contained a preponderance of good, to
warrant my voting for it.
COMPARES REDUCTIONS.
There We're GA reductions in the
tariff and 232 increases. These reduc-
lions were mostly on useful commodi-
ties and the increases on Injuries. Not
altogether, it is true, but mainly.

TARIFF Is BEST AVAILABLE.
"Ex-President Roosevelt APPROVES the
tariff in every speech he makes along
) those lines. He said in his speech at
Is Council Bluffs. Iowa that, the people
=, were looking at the exception and the
&c few bad points the tariff and not al
~ the great amount and majority of good
~ it contained. His idea is, and it is
ID mine also that if you can't get whole
- pail of good milk from the cow, take
20 a half of pail. instead of throwing il
70 all away. I voted for the tariff as II

could do under the influences and il
-, the time we had. and 1 would vote fol
: it again.
