CAUCUS NEARS END
OF TARIFF DISCUSSION
Features OF Bill
Completed by Senate Leaders
Today.

The democratic caucus of the Senate
completed its consideration Of the ad-
ministrative features of the tariff bill
at the morning session today. The eau
Gus at its meeting this afternoon will take
I'D those matters which were referred
back to the majority members of the
finance committee which the committee
has been able to act upon.
It is the hope Of Chairman Simmons of
the finance committee that all of these
matters will be disposed of this after
noon. and that he will be able to hold
meeting tonight of the majority of the
finance committee to take action on other
features of the tariff bill referred back
to the committee
In this way the committee will be able
to report to the caucus on all matters to-
morrow and the caucus should be able
to complete it's work tomorrow or Thurs
day.
Senator Simmons indicated today that
in all probability goods manufactured
chiefly by child labor and imported from
countries where they have no regula-
tons for child labor will be excluded.
The committee expects to hear the Sec
rotary OF the Treasury on his proposition
which will permit him to proclaim valu-
atoms.
last night approved the income tax sec
ton OF the tariff bill as recommended
by the majority members Of the finance
committee BY vote OF IL to IL, how
ever. the caucus voted to strike out the
COMMITTEES amendment which would ex-
empt mutual life insurance companies
from the tar. The caucus will have an
other opportunity to consider this point
however. since senator Lewis of Illinois
made a motion that in view Of the small
number of senator's attending the caucus
last night, the matter be again voted
upon.

Der would fill the camp in comfortable

see that every one is taken care of. that
nobody goes hungry, and that blankets
to warm and tents to protect are found
for all. In the rounds the regulars made
of the main streets of the camp in the
early morning hours they ran into many
things that made them swear. While
other veterans shivered in the chill be-
fore the dawn. they found a Pennsyl-
vanian in his tent, snug as bug in a

over him and nine beneath his cot.

Perpetuity of Republic.

The scenes at Gettysburg today are
the completest evidence of the greatness
as well as Of the perpetuity Of the Ameri-
can republic. No man who loves his coun-
try can fail to read in the circumstances
surrounding this celebration the stimu-
lating and uplifting power of a people s
government. 1t is the breadth Of thought,
action and speech at this celebration that
makes IL so supremely great. II any
southern man who comes here clad in
the gray uniform so dear to him and
those Of his blood believed he would
even in thought question the memories
connected with the heroic past. he would
go out from these tents and quickly
march away. When the Confederate
comes here he comes with his heart still
loyal to the south and those who made
the four years of the Confederate nation 8
life respondent with heroism and glory
and noblest sacrifice.

No greater triumph of generosity was
ever witnessed than when the United
States put up markers over the sepui-

upon them those inspiring words Con
federate Soldiers. and thus declared to
the world that the men who fought Tor
the life of the Confederacy should have
over their dust these magic words that
touch the tenderest sentiments of south

ton amongst those who love them be-
cause they died for the southland.
THE splendor and importance of this
occasion is UNNECESSARILY enhanced by
the fact that no explanations are sought
or expected. The men who come from
the south come as Confederates. True. in
a broader sense they are Americans, but
for this particular occasion thy are dis
