 Foreign Investments.
 Asserting that MT Munsey had in- terests in steel plants, mines glass factories, pottery plants, woolen mills, IS beet sugar factories and other in- dustrial institutions in foreign lands, Senator Gooding declared 'It was not hard to understand why MT. Munsey has turned his hounds loose on those American industries and American la- bor."
 Nor is 1t strange that he has sin gled out the members of the tariff bloc of the senate" he continued, flor without the steadYng influence of the tariff bloc this propaganda that has been going on by Hunsey, Goldman and the international bank CTS and their kind, would have de- feated any attempt to pass protec- tive tariff measure at this session.
 Throws Down Gauntlet.
 50 say to Mir Munsey and his hounds, let them come on. will take my chances with the American farmer, the American manufacturer, the American laborer and the An1eri- can people regardless of what may follov while he enots with royalty and exploits the poorly paid labor of Europe"

 Urging adoption of his resolution proposing an investigation of MT. Munsey and republican newspapers opposing the tariff.

Munsey's for eign holdings"
 ;If the senators who have stood for protection to American industry and American labor are to be black mailed in the interest of MT. Mum eey's foreign investments, he added, then I want to know about it."
 Other Newspapers. "
 While we are investigating MT. Munsey," Senator Gooding continued, i've should also investigate the f1nan-
 
 such as the Boston Herald and those which advertises as its associates in the plan to sell America to European manufacturers and merchants. The newspape which it lists are engaged in selling America to foreign manu- lecturers and merchants and compose those which have been most critical of the pending protective tariff bill-- namely the Chicago Tribune the New York Times, the Cleveland Plain Dealer, the St. Louis Globe Democrat and the Minnea polls Tribune. Let us ascertain Mir President, why these publications are so interested in the defeat of a protective tariff.
 Let US settle for all time whether 1t is crime to stand for the pro- his resolution for an investigation zz tection of American industries, but virtue and an exhibition of patriot ism to work for the destruction of American industry"
