LOWER MATERIALS WANTED

Washington, June 12.-An attack upon
can manufacturer. who said he had
studied labor and manufacturing statistics
in many countries of the world, held the
close attention of the House of Represen-
tatives for two hours to-day.
Representative William C. Redheld of
Brooklyn, a new democratic member, q
manufacturer of machinery and long con-
nected with export trade, declared to the
House that American manufacturers are
abandoning the protective principle as UNI
necessary. as they develop more scientific
management of their own plants.
"The protective tariff has simply en-
abled the American manufacturers to
sell at such high prices that they have
not studied their own conditions closely"
said Mr. RedfieId. "They have relied on
government support, rather than upon
CLOSE business management Its effect
has been to stimulate the development
Of plants until they are now so large
that products must be sold abroad In
this condition the manufacturers no
longer want to pay the high prices ne
cessary for material under a protective
tariff"
Mr. Redfield declared that instead Of
foreign labor being cheaper, American
labor Is really the cheapest in the world;
that no labor produced as much pro-
duct in proportion to wages received as
American.
Mr. Rcdfeld attacked the republican
principle of a tariff built upon the
difference in cost at home and abroad
saying it was impossible to determine
this difference. He declared 1.-The
American tariff board is worthless I'M
| less empowered to call for the cost
sheets of the factories engaged in the
| line of manufacture it Is studying"
and added that often the American
cost of production is lower.

DUCHESS FORCED
OUT OF ENGLAND
Consuelo the Victim of a Social
Tragedy-Snubbed by the
King and Queen.

London, June 13.-The news that Marble
House at Newport, once the home of the
w. *. Nandcrblts and now owned by
Mrs. O. II. i. Belmont, is being prepared
for occupancy this summer gives her
friends here the belief that the Duchess of
Marlborough is to quit England and make
her permanent home in her native coun-
try.
There is ample ground for this belief,
and especially that the coming coronation
ceremonies will advertise and emphasize
the fact that the American duchess is ex-
cluded from the court Of King George and
Queen Mary, and. whereas at the last cor
cnation she was one OF the canopy bear
ers for the Queen, In the coming ceremo-
MES she will have absolutely no part.
Few knew the facts behind the exclu-
sion of the Duchess of Marlborough from
court. The following account was given
to the American by a person closely as
ISOLATED with the diplomatic service in
London and who enjoys the confidence of
rrany of the persons mentioned in the
narrative.
1t is the first detailed and authentic
story Of a social tragedy that has aroused
the interest and sympathy of the English
PEOPLE fully as much as of the Americans,
who claim the duchess as their own:
The Duchess of Marlborough, To wom-
ans ears this Is an envY-nspiring title,
yet the American girl in possession of this
name to-day is vastly more in need of
sympathy from her sisters of the world
One is apt to associate with the great
Marlborough name contentment and hon
ors, power and happiness. yet during the
- years of Consuelo Vanderbilt'c inCum-
bency her lot has been one OF distress,
disappointment and disgust. This season
tie climax Of her unha ppy career in Eng
land has been capped with the complete
Punishment from court, which has caused
all attention to be centered on the young
woman, owing to the importance of her
rank.
AID OF FRIENDS FUTILE.
The irony of fate is expressed in the
| solitary fight of the Duchess Of Marlbor
ough to maintain her dignity in view OF
the deluge of humiliation. Good friends
have rushed to the side OF the american
| but their aid Is futile against the inhu
cree of Buckingham palace; and the
duchess's own palace, Sunderland House
| Is a social mausoleum In these days OF
royal disfavor
Probably II the duchess were not COM
PEELED to live in England for the sake OF
| her children she would be only 200 happy
| to flee forever a country where she has
