and the terrific expenses which go with
such increases.
The reasons for Americas attitude
are very clear. America hss taken the

that would render her efforts useless.

The parade was disbanded at Cen

face bankruptcy and wars would be
continuous.
Referring to the local indepen-

lists, he said: "If those people who
carried empty bottles in that parade
had come here they would have found
the people that emptied thin.
"That parade represented the sun
set and whatever glow there was to

resents a dawn and the glow bright

Before his address Mr.. Bryan told
newspaper men that eff there was

died on July 4 with the fizzle of the
anti prohibition parade.
"The anti prohibitionists couldn't
gather together more than fourteen
per cent of the number of people the

Green Says They Control
Aluminium Which Has
Been Increased

Washington, July 9.-An old
straw hat was the article used by
the democrats in opening their at
tack in the house today on the Ford
ney protective tarT bill TO illustrate
their contention that its rates were
higher than anything written into
the Payne-Aldrich bill decade ago.
Representative Garner, of Texas,
ranking democrat of the ways and
means committee, in the course of
a two hour denunciation of the mea-
sure seized the hat as the first OBJ
ject within sight and challenged re-
publican members of the committee
to say, off hand, what duty had been
imposed upon it.
There was a moments hesitation.
Then, in the midst of a shout from
the minority side, Representative
Green, republican, Iowa, arose from
his seat and brought an answering
shout from the republican side by
announcing that it was printed in the
bill.
"A Tremendous Increase
Still waving the faded headgear
Mr.. Garner declared that in the
Payne-Aldrich bill the duty on that
product was so per cent, but in the
Fordney measure it was $40 a dozen,
plus ad valorem duty of 20 per
cent. which made the actual import
tax, he added, 81 2-5 per cent. Com
parison of the two bills, he said,
would show the same scales running
through the BAG pagse of the Ford
ney measure. The average rate of the
Fordney measure, he added, was
higher than any ever proposed be-
fore by congress.
Attacking the American valuation
provision Mr.. Garner charged that if
it had been applied to the present
Underwood law, rates now being paid
would exceed the Payne schedule in
every instance. There were many
sharp exchanges while Mr.. Garner
had the floor. Most of the verbal bat
ties ragged around the valuation pro-
vision.
With the principal speeches for and
against the bill out of the way the
debate was turned over to members
generally and it started with rush
under an agreement calling for a
solid week of talk. 4

tion of peace the prospects of
which eve1 lie more cautious poi
itical observers regard as bright
er than for long time.
The careful working of Mr.. De-
Valera's acceptanc eof con-
ference is interpreted in some
quarters here as based on the ne
cessity of the Irish republican
leader feeling his way with his
own followers. 1t is thought,
however, that truce deliber-
ately embarked upon cannot well
be deliberately discarded, and
that alone is a consideration of
great promise.
The terms of the truce which be
gins at noon Monday were agreed
to at British headquarters in Dublii
this afternoon. The provisions of th'
truce cover fully all the ground fo.
a temporary peace between the ac
tive Irish workers an the crow
forces. III

responsibility for fulfillment of til,
truce by the Irisr republican arm!
is held to dispel the idea in som,
quarters that the most active brancl
of the Sim Fein is beyond control o.
