WOODEN duties would not result In ma
teEal reduction in the cost OF clothing.
Senator Stone Of Missouri interrupted
him.
When the tariff bill was on the floor"
said Mr.. Stone, "the Republicans were
prophesying Industrial and financial dis
aster as result OF the measure How
can the senator now say that prices will
not be reduced? We have seen none OF
the closed factories. the ruined mills or
the squalld soup houses the senator
painted so yividly. Now, he tells us. the
