Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania
who led the minority attack on the
resolution, interrupted Senator Under

men in his state during his campaign
for reelection last year. He said, the
present prosperity in the steel bust

purchases by belligerent governments.
Senator Underwoods Defense.
"The Pennsylvania Senator" said
Senator Underwood, has made clear
his belief that the depression which
followed the terror of the first few
months of the war was due entirely to
democratic administration, but the
present prosperity alone is due to the
war.
This discussion today, while not il
luminative of the fiscal condition of
the country, has clearly defined the
issues between the two great parties
on matters of legislation. Mr.. Penrose
says we are committing a crime
against the American people by reduc-
ing the custom taxes and replacing
them with taxation resting solely on
the wealth of the country"
Revenues were greater in the first
year of the present tariff law, he ad
ded, than in the last year of the Payne
law.
