resin, turpentlne, flour, sugar, hemp.
tobacco aud all other interests" said
Senator Bradley Of Kentucky.
Representative Bartholtlt Of Mis-
sourl, speaking Of the tariff upon
barytes. said:
The mines are idle and the men
who have invested their capital in
that industry receive no return
for it. In order to revive that III
dnstry it is absolutely necessary
that the republican party should
apply the principles Of protection.
The legislature of Florida asked for
81 protective duty upon staple cotton.
On the subject, Senator Tallaferro
said:
| should say for the benefit of
the Senator, and make 10 con-
cealment of the fact that they
(Florida) would like to have some
protection on their cotton. The
legislature made no hesitancy III
asking for the duty promised, pro-
tective or otherwise, aud the peo-
pie made no concealment of the
fact that they are suffering from
foreign competition.
Senator Bacon Of Georgia, speaking
Oh the same subject, said:
There is no reason in the world
that can be urged in favor of Il
revenue duty upon wool that cam
not be urged with equal strength
in favor of Il revenue duty upon
long staple cotton.
Representative Pujo, of Louisiana.
announced the theory Of protection
as tersely as it could he put by any
republican when he said:
My views on the question of
the imposition OF tariff rate are
that the representatives Of the
people owe it to them to legislate
that no citizen of a foreign coun-
try shall be permitted to offer for
sale in this country any COMPETE
tive article under conditions more
favorable than are employed by
al American citizen.
Senator Smith, of Maryland. de-
clared for protection to the southern
interests when he said:
So far as | am concerned want
the people that represent and the
people of the south generally to
have their share of that inciden-
tai protection.
These views OF southern represent
tatives in congress but emphasize
that the people of that section are
rapidly being brought to realiza-
tiOn of their industrial needs. With
existing conditions in the south it is
idle to longer discuss tariff revision
upon other than protective lines.
Fergus County Argus: For forty
years the democratic party hasn't
done much else but find fault with
republican legislation. As in the
last congress it's representatives have
opposed all of the great measures that
have been enacted into laws and have
become part of the history of this ma
TONS wonderful development. Only
one rat-Chamberlain of Ore
gon-voted for the Carter postal saw
ings bank law on it's final passage
and it. was about this way on all of
the progressive measures passed by
the last congress. Now, as to this
measnre-it will probably be in prac-
teal operation in a few months and
there it's merits will be determined.
If faulty, it can be amended. But
we opne the opposition Of extremists
will fade into mist and prove that
their contention was the res III of
pique more than anything else.

W. II. Taft: II did not agree, nor
did the republican party agree, that
we would reduce rates to such Il
point rs to reduce prices by the intro
duction of foreign competition. That
is what the free traders desire. That
is what the revenue tariff reformers
desire: but that is not what the re-
publican platform promised, and it is
not what the republican party wish
