Scion of Seat by Vote of

WASHINGTON. July 49, By

prived of his seat in the United
States senate today
This Judgment of the senate closing
the fight upon Senator Lorimer termi-
mated one of the stormiest legislative
days that congressional history has
known If the first fights made for
and against Lorimer were bitter. this
latest one, which began on the legisla-
tive day of July 6, has been even more
vindictive. From the moment that Sen
ator Dillingham;, chief of the Lormer
defenders, began speaking last Satur-
day until the last vote was cast today
intense personal feeling has at best
been but thin1y yelled During his
speech Lorimer wore tiny American

him were the lines on which the senate
split None of the score of speakers
minced his words. and spirited speeches
Of condemnation were made by Senator
" Alden Smith, of Michigan; Senator
Luke Lea, of Tennessee; Senator Ken
Won, of Iowa; Senator Reed, of Mis-
souri,, Senator Meyers. of Montana.
Under the Lorimer standard gathered
Senator Jones, of Washington who last
wear voted against Lorimer and Sena-
tors Dillingham;, Johnston, McCumber
Thornton, Fletcher and Smoot
All Of these were but forerunners OF
the dramatic climax furnished by Lori

taken in his first defense, Senator Lori
mer launched upon a long denunciation
Of his enemies, who, he claimed, had
eonspired against him, and for two
days held the senate by the strength of
his defense
He completed his statement but a

THE INDUCEMENTS HIGH TOLL
Some Pertinent Questions Which the Voter Will Do We'll to
 Consider.

William Hope, a South American cattle and wheat king" from Buenos Ayres. asks two pertinent questions. The first is why do the Britons. who ship their wheat from America. pay only cents for pound loaf of bread, while we, in the greatest land of wheat. pay cents for a scant pound loaf? The second is, why does the Briton pay only 10 cents for meat for which we, growers of meat, pay 20 cents? MT. Hope answers the ques- ton himself-at least in part. His answer is "middlemen." The beef trust, he finds, tells the grower what it will pay for his product. and tells the consumer what he must pay for the meat. Only the other day there appeared in these columns a comment from the St. Paul papers on the fact that farmers are receiving less for their meat than year ago and the people are paying more for it-at least in Minnesota. Our cost of distribution of getting American meat and wheat to American tables-Mr. Hope declares, Is so great that with fair entry he could ship both from Argen- tina and sell cheaper on the docks in New York than we could from Chi cago; and he points out that Argen- tina does not have "pauper labor" MT. Hope emphasizes the fact that we are clearly the victims of the organized middlemen. The chief middleman whom he points out is J. Pierpont Morgan, organizer of the trusts. In MT. Hopes eyes. he is the emperor of the United States, to whom all pay tribute. Hope is positive that no other ruler in the world, with the possible exception of the autocratic czar of the Russias, has so much power and de- mands so much tribute. It Is collected through the necessities. He well de- clares that no such state of affairs would-or could-be endured in Great Britain.
 MT. Hope only more graphically states, with his illustrations in the cost of meat and bread, exactly the thing which President Yoakum of the Frisco system; Dan G. Reid, of the Rock Island, and Secretary Wilson, of the agricultural department, have pointed out MT Yoakum deals in figures in the bulk, showing that the consumers pay 100000 annual ly for what the producers receive only $6,0O0, ,O0O, ,Oo0 for, the other $7.000,- o0O,0O0 going to fatten trusts and meet the toll of middlemen. MT. Reid shows that grapes that sell for cents in California and that the rail- roads transport for 11a cents pound, sell in Chicago for 40 cents. MT. Will son summarizes by declaring that the farmer seldom gets over Al cents of the consumers dollar and often only
 33 cents Hope, Yoakum, Reid, Will son all agree. The toll-taking is un- fair

Misleading Tariff Figures.

The statement attributed to D1Sraeh that nothing is so deceptive as facts, except figures is called to mind by some statistics put out by government officials at Washington showing that during the first two years under the Payne-Aldrich law the total duties col lected on imported goods were equal to 20.68 per cent. of the value of i'm ports, which compares with an nv- craze of 25.47 per cent. in the 12 years of the Dingley law. Defenders of the existing tariff law will be able to point to this comparison as evidence that the tariff was reduced.
 But only half the facts are stated. The actual average rate of duty on du- tiable imports was 41.6 per cent. last year. Slightly more than half of all imports came in free of duty. The ad- dition of hides to the free list ac- count for more of the difference be- tween the average ad valorem duty on, all imports in the past two years and that of the preceding 12 years. 50 the figures really do not signify any i'm portant change in the general tarif list.
 The average ad valorem rate on du- tlaDle imports ln the last year OI tue Dingley law was 43.15 per cent, and in the next to the last year 42.94 per cent. These figures compare with 41.8 per cent. in the year ending June 30. 1911, and 41.6 per cent. in the pre- ceding year.. Comparing the first two years under the Payne-Aldrich law with the last two under the Dingley law it appears hat there has been a reduction of IT per cent. in actual ad valorem rates on dutiable imports.
 Even this insignificant reduction Is in duties which could be changed with out disturbing the special privileges of the powerfully organized manufactur CTS.
