Mclean Harpoons Democrats Who
 Saw Business Check in Tariff

act We collected s2SS,S35,091, and in the last year of the Fordney- McCum- Der act we collected s577,673,5 ,569, an increase of s261,432.162.
 Now, Mir. President. as to percen- tages, the averages of ad yalorem rates. We have heard a great deal about the iniquitous rates of the lrordney- bill as compared with other tariff bills. These aver ages l am about to quote were pre- pared for me by one of the experts of the treasury department, we'll known to the other side of the cham name I am sure they would say that he is very careful man.
 Take the tariff act of 1897, the Dingley bill. In 1899 the average rate on dutiable goods wa s52.07 per cent; on free and dutiable goods together the average was 29.4S per cent. In 1900 it had decreased little. to 49.24 per cent on the dutiable goods, and on the free and dutiable goods 27.62 per cent.
 Under the act of 1909, the Payne bill, in 1910 the average duty on dutiable goods was 41.52 per cent. and on free and dutiable goods 2t.11 per cent. In 1912 it was 40.12 per on dutiable goods was 52.07 per cent; free and dutiable goods together 1858 per cent.
 Under the Underwood bill in the year 19l5--f assume that that was during the period that the bill was in force before the war came on. but can not tell the senator whether it means the whole year or not the average rate, as given to me is 33.43 per cent on the dutiable goods--and before I read the average on the free and dutiable goods l want right now to call attention to the average rate of the Fordney bill in the year 10 which I have called the attention of the senate--S4,4s per cent on dutiable goods, just little over 1 per cent of the average paid during the year 1915 under the Underwood bill.
 'I do not believe history records an instance of such infinite ignorance Of a great economic question at that | exhibited by those who confidently prophecied that the Fordney- McCum- ! Der tariff bill would destroy our for | elGn commerce. Was it ignorance or l was it well-considered and deter !

mined attempt to frighten and deceive the American people into voting the democratic ticket2 Whatever the motive, the ill-consdered and indis- criminate denunciation of the Ford ney-McCumber act and all those who supported it cost the republican party tens of thousands of votes and defeat ed many republican congressman. Fortunately. the attack did not quite accomplish its purpose.
 "rhe record will show that we have bought more from foreign countries than ever before. A glance at our ex- ports will show that no matter how much we purchased of any country's goods that country would always buy where it could buy the cheapest"
 Senator NIcLean's remarks were very pleasing to his republican col leagues; but considerably nettled the democrats, especially the democratic senators.

BRITISH SUB IS LYING
 ON BOTTOM OF THE SEA
Nothing To Indicate That Crew Of 4S Men Have Not All Lost
 Their Lives
By The Associated Press.

Their Lives By The Associated Press.
 London, Jan. 1.-The British sub- marine L-24, raInmed by the dread naught Resolution yesterday is lying 30 fathoms deep. about Ii miles south of Portland Bill. according to the lat est reports from Weymouth. There is nothing to indicate that her crew of 43 men have not perished. It is taken for granted that all the men were below when the boat left Port land for the maneuyers in which she was to take part as the weather was too heavy to allow them to remain on deck.
 Until further investigation has been made 1t is impossible to tell just how the disaster happened. However, the last report says that the L-24 rose beneath the dreadnaught and struck the latter's bows.
 Last night was unusually dark and despite the numerous searchlights brought into play, little could be done until daylight. but the salvage craft kept busy while special boats equipped with hydrophones tried, although vainly to catch any sounds that might be made by the imprisoned men. { Hope for her crews safety has not been entirely abandoned, yet most ex- perts think it will be miraculous if the men are rescued. The submarines Lieut.. Eddis was a man of much experience and there is con- fidence that he would know what to do in the tragic circumstances.

Washington, Jan. 11.-Opposition to the proposed consolidation of the war and navy departments under the departmental reorganization plan was reiterated today by Secretaries Weeks and Denby, who again ap- peared before the congressional re- organization committee, The testi- mony of the secretaries was in part a rebuttal to recommendations placed before the committee of w. r. Will loughby, director of the institute for governmental research, who advo- cated the consolidation as a means of promoting greater efficiency.
