after the session convened at noon. Then
1t was left to the mercies OF Representa-
tive Mann of Illinois. leader of the Re-
publican side and things Mr. Mann said
about it in the two hours he held the
floor gave both sides food for much de-
bate, comment and criticism.
Mr. Mann said the free st bill. in
troduced by the Democrats as the first of

eral language that II might be stretched

Mr.. Mann demanded TO know what ag-

the provision. He expressed the belief
that It would be stretched TO include
iree entry OF saws. axes, forks. garden

else used by farmer, horticuturlst.

He said the bill was so drawn that il
would admit free the leather from which
the farmers shoes were made. but would
exclude that from which his wife's shoes
were made. II put a premium on for
eign labor he said. by permitting these
special kinds OF leather TO come in free
when they were partly made up.
In putting agricultural implements on
the free list. said Mr.. Mann. the Demo-
Gratis would let the International Har-
yester company dump into the United
States the implements made by foreign
labor in France. Germany and Russia.
Gardner Opposes 1t.
Chairman Underwood and other Demo-
Gratis did not attempt reply TO the at
tack upon the bill.
Mr.. Gardner of Massachusetts attacked
the measure and the Democratic policy OF
promising to reduce the cost of living
without reducing wages paid In the
United States.
He asserted that in putting articles on
the free list the Democrats had dis
criminated against the farmers and manu-
tacturers of the northern states, while
leaving protective duties on tobacco,
sugar, rice, oranges and other articles
produced in the southern states.
Messrs. Adair OF Indiana Russell Of
Missouri and Adamson of Georgia spoke
In favor OF the measure. Mr. Adamson
said after Mr.. Mann's attack upon the
bill he had gone to Chairman Under

Democratic caucus and fix up the meas
urc. but that Mr.. Underwood had assured
him the bill was all right.
