The battle over duties for hides

ton Of the Senate's action in

The amendments, proposed by

new. One would place upon the
free list any imported article,
which Is found the subject OF a
price-fiXing agreement between
importers and American manufac-
turers Of similar articles. The
other would limit the profits of
importers to a margin Of rs per
cent above the landing cost of
imported articles, by placing
tax Of 80 per cent on the profits
in excess Of that figure.
Beat Oil Tariff
The Senate meanwhile made
considerable progress at its seS-
sion last night. The long fight
for protection on crude oil and
gasoline was beaten again by q
vote of 38 to 20 against a duty
of 81 on oil and so per cent ad
valorem on gasoline. When these
rates were cut in half and Of
fered again, the Senate rejected
the reductions by . vote Of 80
to %.
Another reversal Of form came
when the Senate placed q duty
Of 80 cents an ounce on silver.
This rate was rejected som
weeks ago. This great change
Of sentiment was due to an an
nouncement that Great Britain
had placed an embargo against
silver.
Administration leaders, tired by
the long tariff war, declared the
end was in sight. They an
nounced the bill would pass this

Gov. BENJAMIN r. Tillman, who

system, also led the fight to
abolish it, he said. Illicit sale of
liquor continues in spite of the
State dispensary system. Some
bootleggers, he said, agreed to
buy from the diSpensary system
if it in turn would protect them.
THE belief grew that the man
agement of these dispensarieS lad
degenerated into a graft machine,

The result was q greater con-
sumption Of liquor, especially
among the negroes and lower
