Senator Bristow sounded the keynote
to the opposition to free tolls for
American coastwise vessels when, aft
er quoting that section of the law which
bars railroad owned and trust-controlled
ships from passing through the Pana-
ma canal, he says: "The allegation of
the .repealers' that free tolls benefit
only trusts or monopoly is not an hon
est argument. The truth is that If rail-
road-owned and trust controlled ships
had not been barred from the canal we
would never have had this repeal bill
before us. That is where the shoe
pinches, and that is where this con-
troversy started"

FREE WOOL AND WOOL PRICES.

Oregonian: While democratic senators
from wool-growing states, anxious to
excuse their votes for free wool, have
been pointing with pride to high
prices. reports of imports and of the
world supply have been sweeping away
their arguments. The advance in price
of raw wool Is due to a short clip the
world over the shortage in the United
States alone being about 30 900, 900
pounds The total world shortage Is es-
timated at $40. O0O. 900, but In spite Of
this fact imports to this country have
enormously increased.
The report OF the Bureau of Foreign
and Domestic Commerce shows increas.
es in March. as compared with March.
1913. in imports of class l wool OF 95.9
per cent; class 2 wool, COT per cent;
class wool. 1875 per cent; wooden cloth
324 per cent? dress goods. 227 per cent;
wearing apparel 3.2 per cent: all other
manufactures of wool. 7O7 per cent
These figures We're quoted in the SEN
ate by Senator Smoot as showing the
disastrous effect of the Underwood tar
iff on American industry. Senator
Chamberlain attempted to answer him
few days later by quoting from the
Oregonian statements that growers have
secured this season the highest prices
for seventeen years and by quoting
from what he called "a leading demo-
cratic paper in the heart of the wool
growing section of eastern Oregon" re-
ports of sales at considerable ad-
vance over the prices OF last year and
the year preceding.
Mr.. Smoot promptly exposed the fall
lacy of Mr.. Chamberlains argument by
stating that 1.-The world price of wool
today is about three times what II was
in 1894" because of "a shortage of
about 240.000.000 pounds In the worlds
production" He added
/ simply make this statement to
have 1t understood that IL the con-
ditions were the same in the worlds
wool market today that they were
In 1894 there would be no such ar
ticles presented to the senate. II
there was duty on wool. the wool
grower would be getting higher
prices than he is getting today
American growers know that the high
er price obtained for their crop Is alb
normal and are getting out of the bust
ness by selling their fiocks. The WOOL
growers of Oregon are not deceived by
Mr.. Chamberlain's shallow arguments.
They know that a normal worlds clip
will flood the American market with
cheap foreign wool, and they are get
ting from under.

MEXICAN INDIAN AND SOUTHERN
