DEMoc RATS MAKE FINAL STAND,
BUT ACCOMPLISH
LITTLE.
FEW CHANGES 10 BE MADE
Smoot Of Utah Attacks Dyestuffs Rate
as Embargo-votes Against Il
With Eight Republicans and
Four Democrats.

ashington.-Putting the Republic
an party on record as sponsors of ex
cessive customs duties, and outlining
their own position, the Democrats of
the Senate made a final stand against
the pending "ine0cusable and inGefen-
sible" tariff measure. The net
achieve was not encouraging for the
ultimate consumer although in a few
instances the findings of the finance
committee we're disapproved.
They whitfield down the rate on
table salt but failed to bulge the new
high figures on chinaware.
The prohibitive duties on dyestuffs,
proposed last night by Bursum, Re-
publican, New Mexico, were nailed
down this afternoon. They accom-
plish the same results as the pro-
posed embargo which was rejected by
the Senate.
A list of As reserved votes was pre-
sented today. In addition, many
amendments will be offered on which
advance notice was not given.
The Bursum dyestuffs proposition
was the first to receive serious con-
sideration. This imposes on coal tar
products an ad valorem rate of 75
| per cent and seven cents per pound.
The duty fixed by the committee was
so per cent ad yalorem and seven
cents pound.
The amendment was supported by
Frelinghuysen, Republican. New Jer-
sey. He said the high rates were
necessary to prevent the destruction
i of an American industry through
German competition.
The suggested advance was scored
| by Simmons. Democrat. North Caro-
lima. He said the rates were increased
by $50 per cent ad valorem. "This is
equivalent to an embargo" said Sim.
MONS" "and the Senate once has de
clared against it."
II do not believe" said Senator
Smoot, senators knew in detail what
their votes meant last night. If this
amendment is adopted, it means that
every dye and chemical, the produc'
OF coal tar, coming into this country
shall pay 90 per cent ad valorem and
10 half cents per pound specific. Dc
senators realize what burdens they
are placing upon the users Of these
dyes and chemicals? 1t is an embares
a thousand times over and worse thar
an embargo"
"Changing from the foreign to tht
American valuations interrupted
Senator Simmons. would probably
double the rate, or more than douprs

eide by shooting himself through the

ing cold and he went back to bed. His
