came in for renewed assaults from
both sides OF the chamber.
Proposed duties on firearms which
finally were approved, led to a dis
cussion of wide range. Senator
King, democrat, declared that the
tariff measure already was being used
asa means of advancing prices. in
this country. He read from publish
ed reports that the American wool
en- mills had made a second advance
in prices and, predicted that these
raises would be extended to other
commodities, including boots, shoes
and cotton. ,..~

could advance prices to- take care OF
their losses in invading ihe markets
OF the world and drive foreign pro-
ducers out of business in their own
countries. He asserted that this was
not only true with reference to shot
guns but also with reference to sew
ing machines, paints, steel products
and many other things. included in
