TARIFF
SPEECH WELL RECEIVED
CONTINUED from rage -

tariff cuties for a period not more
than one year Although in 1902 at
the time of the general coal strike in
the United States, the companies in
which Senator Watson was interested
sold large quantities of coal still he
did not hesitate in his speech to cite
the coal strike as an instance OF how
the country might be benefited by
the adoption of his amendment He
showed that if the President had then
been authorized to suspend the tariff
duty on coal and had done so that
the general public might have bought
coal at a much lower figure than was
possible under the conditions as they
existed. He also cited the present
case Of potatoes, showing that in the
first three months of 1912 the guam
tity OF potatoes imported into this
country was 6,744,o25 bushels valued
at $3,419.o65, while in the same
months of the preceding year there
had been imported only $3.50 bush
els valued at $8I376. He showed
that the tariff duties on all these i'm
ports would have been saved to the
American people if his amendments
had ossa in force.
