DEMOCRATS IN UPR0AR
Republicans Show How Fear

American Mines.
Special DsspdfcA 10 THE suS.

wAsHrNGroN, Aug. 21.-One Of the old
time political-tarir fights of prewar days
broke out at to-day's session Of the
House. with the advocates Of rates
framed to make American industries in
dependent OF all the world emerging the
vfctora
Not since the Republicans were In
power before the Wilson Administration
has there been such a field day Of EFFORT
on the part Of the Democrats to make
political capital. the minority leaders
making all sorts Of charges against the
protective tariff policy OF the Republi-
cans.
The fight came on a bill Of Representa-
tive Undertake (CoL) to put protec-
tive tariff on the metal tungsten, the
industry having developed great impor-
tance during the war. but now AT
standst.lI because foreign tungsten can
be imported under the free list OF the
Underwood Democratic tariff. After de-
feating all efforts TO amend the measure
It was finally passed by a strict party
vote OF III to 132.
The bill, Chairman Fordney OF the
Ways and Means COMMITTEES explained
provides for tariff OF $40 unit on
tungstic tFioxide. which amounts TO slV
a ton on crude tungsten M7nufacturen
tungsten products must pay twice the
amount

Permanent Level Sought.

"A tariff of $40 a unit. plus an est-
mated IS to $40 import price, would n1
American tungsten at SIS to $50 and
thus establish on a permanent lever an
industry which your committee submits
is OF vital national Importance, MI
Fordney said.
AT the present time there is no tariff
on tungsten ore and importers obtain
Chinese, Burmese and South American
tungsten, mined by cheap labor. at less
than the domestic production cost The
duty Of $40 a unit Is not prohibtttve, out,
on the other hand, would give a maxi
mum revenue TO the Government. Com
petition from foreign ores would still
continue under conditions that would
nevertheless allow domestic production.
The tariff would mean a direct revenue
TO the Government OF At least $1,so0.0oo
The American mines are now idle as
the result OF the free Importation OF
| foreign ores and at least 5000 men are
out Of work with the mines filling up
with water and causing incalculable
damage"
Representative Kitchin On c., Demo
cratic leader on the Ways and Means
| Committee, started the partisan hre-
works by charging that the bill would
| give the present tungsten owners mo-
nopoIy in this country and would mean
huge profits to them for the ores they
have on hand. He claimed that on an
ad valorom basis the tariff was nine
times that Of the Payne tariH.
He submitted amendments to put what
| he said was the Payne tariff in place of
the amounts agreed to, but these were
promptly defeated by party votes. He
then doubled the Payne rates, but this
was voted down also.

ting the rates were higher than the
Payne law. declared this was necessary
because of lessons learned soon after its
passage. The Payne rates, he asserted,
did not develop the industry, as was ex-
pected.
Former Speaker Champ Clark took
part in the partisan debate by clamoring
that the orders for the passage Of the
bill came direct from Wall Street"
What evidence has the gentleman OF
that?" demanded Mr.. Fordney.
Il have nothing but the knowledge
that Wall Street orders all Republican
tariffs Mr.. Clark snorted in reply.
Representative Fess (Ohio) pointed
out that the measure was necessary 20
protect American labor against the
cheapest foreign labor in the world. and
denied the Republicans were favoring
the tariff 10 win Colorado, where most
Of the mines are located.
Why should we try 10 win Colorado
when We already have it, Mr.. Fess
said. amid Republican cheers.
Mr.. Fordney said the tariff on manu-
factured tungsten was necessary to pre-
vent German control OF the American
market

the world" he continued. American
manufacturing and metallurgical meth

Popular Minister Goes TO Larger Field.

Guthrie Daily Leader. Sept. 4, 1872
DR.. Alexander G. Bennett, pastor of
the First Methodist church, has been
transferred to Twin Falls, Idaho. and is
now moving from Guthrie. This will be
a surprise to the community.
/ Dr. Bennett came here from Wichita
about six months ago and was planning
an aggressive program for the local
church which had been enthusiastically
approved by the church board. The
congregations have been increased all
! through the summer, and there was
/ fine prospect of large success ahead.
But the call to Idaho opens the oppor-
tunity for ministry to the largest Meth
odist congregation in that state, nine
hundred membership, four thousand
dollars salary, and great field of SER
vice thus being of the size and charae-
ter ID the churches that he had been
serving before coming to Guthrie, SO
the new field was accepted.
Dr. Bennett has made many friends
here. There will be acute disappoint-
ment in the church and city over the
sudden change, but the good wishes of
the people go with him and his family
Before coming to Guthrie he had con
spicuous successes in large pastorates
in Wichita and Saina. Kan, York. Neb,
and in Iowa For year he IVES vol
unteer chaplain with the National army
in Camp Funston and Fort Riley.
Tribune Note Rev. Bennett was
born in Mineral Point and here he grew
to young manhood. He is a nephew
Of The Tribune publisher. His father
was killed while engaged at mining in
California before Alex was born. Many
of our readers viii remember well this
progressive pastor and join US in feel
ing more than a common pleasure in
learning of his pronounced success.

terian faith as long as it was repre-
scented here. Afterward she worked
faithfully with the Methodist congre-
cation as long as she was able to do so,
and to the time of her death WAS vitality
interested in all its affairs.
For many years she has been in very
frail health, but was peculiarly fortu-
tunate in retaining the attention and
affection of hosts of friends Miss

that her wants were attended 10.
