He thought that the Senate, which wanted sixteen hours aday instead of eight. ought to do honor to the occasion by an adjournment. Mr. Hoar gave it as his opinion that Labor Day would be better honored by legislation on behalf of labor, ery well,” Mr. Blair said in acquiescence; there are four labor bills that have been weut over from the House of Representatives. I would be very glad to have them acted on by the Senate.” “Lalesire.” said Mr. Hoar, “to spend the day in legislation that will raise the wages of labor.” “I give notice to the Senator in charge of the tariff bill (said Mr. Blair) that I will ask Unanimons consent of the Senate to give pre- cedence to the consideration of the labor bills that have been sent to us by the House of Rep- resentatives. This is labor day and there is a universal desire to do something for labor. MR. ALDRICH OBJECTED to “any further buncombe speeches,” and Mr. Blair's recognition of this remark was that “The representatives of the monopoly might object,” but that the Senate should neverthe- jess proceed to consider the labor bills, Mr. Aldrich asked the presiding officer to en- force the rules, and the presiding offi HOUSEFUB.

Mr. Aldrich said he would not object if the Lill could be disposed of without discussion. Mr. Edmunds and Mr, flarris said that could not be. Objection was therefore made by Mr. Aldrich and THE TARIFF BILL WAS TAKEN UP— the question being on paragraph 373 (page $8). as to wool and woolen yarns, to which the finance committee bad reported an amendment increasing the duty per pound from twice to twagand a half times the duty imposed on un- wat wool of the first-class. ich corrected'n mistake made in the reciprocity amendment reported by him week, the word ‘unjust’ having been used stead of the word “unequal” discrimination. MR. PADDOCK CRITICIZES THK BILL. Mr. Paddock addressed the Senate in friendly criticism of the tariff bill, There was no sent in the republican party, he said, to the declarations heretofore made in ite platforms. but there were differences of opinion as to the details of the tariff. There was no diasension within the party as to such protection as would cover the difference in the cost of labor be- tween the United States and foreign countries. He should be glad if he could follow the ma. jority of the tinance committee, but be re- gretted that he could not see his way clearly to itas te all the sections, He appreciated fally the arduous and faithful labors of the finance committee, and regretted to have heard insinu- ations that it had allowed its action to be in- fluenced by threats, bargains or cajolery. THE AGRICULTURAL WEST, he said, never favored high protective duties, but did favor a sufficient protection to cover the difference in wages, while at the same time the semblance, at least of foreign markets, was preserved. The west regarded a “revision of the tariff” as meaning reduction of the tariff” whenever Loree and not increases in tariff imports, and he was confident that the th improved steadily since then. Today ho sat up for a short time, and those about him think that he is now out of danger. Pensonat.—E, N. Gray of Houston, Tex., W. A. Wartman of Oakland, Md., Edward C. Lunt of Boston and George 8.

Morris-‘Murray has returned demand for a lower range of duties would have to receive anearly and favorable response from Congress, Many of those dutics, he said, now believed to be too high, had long ago done the work which had first justified their imposition. So long asa high tariff was needed to keep the wheels of industry in motion it has been uncomplainingly supported and properly defended. But the sentiment was grow- ing aud the belicf was becoming fixed conviction in the west (atleast as to some of the protected industries) that the decreased cost of protection should now be met by a greater decrease of duties than the manu- facturer had yet been willing to accept. The people of the west were beginning to think that if many of the most protected of those in- dustries WERE EVER TO LEARN TO BTAND ALONE their hands should be soon forcibly releaacd from the skirte of high protéction to which they so persistently cling. He (Mr. Paddock) would reduce the duties on the necessaries of life to the lowest point con: maintenance of the home industries, and he would demand reasons for every impost— reasons that should be specific and conclusive, uot only respecting the necd of a duty itself, bu: as to the emount of such duty. The bill 8 = reported, while much improved over the House bill, was, he admitted, something of a disappointment, He did not not assume to have fathomed its intrieacics and should not attempt a critical review of its pro- Visions. Many reductions, duubtless, had been made by the finance committee that were not acceptable to manufacturera, bit he was certain that all who were favored most di- rectly by the maintenance of high tariff duties would be better satisfied with the bill on the lines laid down by the com- inittee than any other class. In the considera- tion of the bill he had voted for lowering du- deve, ties whenever believed it could be safely and be had, as a rule, voted against ali in- creases excepting only those on luxuries and those upon agricultural products, ‘fhe list of such increases on agricultural products was a long and valuable one, and it was a pleasure to him to indorse specially so much of the bill as related to that particular subject, COMING DOWN TO THE SUGAR SCHEDULE Mr. Paddock said that the manufacturers of beet root sugar inthe United Btdtes had passed safely and surely beyond the experimental stage, aud that the success of that industry it properly protected by Co! was ulre: assured beyond a peradven' It was pro- posed to sugar on the free list or (what would be en ar yy betes) pbs treaty arrangements, if possible, sugar-pro- ducing countrie of South America for"etprocal free exchange of sugar and som Marne ae 2 ts of those countries for Certain Products ‘he U fms, | it and for the importation of a single pound of sugar into the United States. He would treat THE PROPOSED TINPLATE INDUSTRY inthe same way. He would not vote for the Proposed increase of duty on tin plates, but ne would cheerfully vote for a bounty to the tin plate industry. He felt certain that it would be the part of wisdom and of justice to adopt the botnty policy rather than to increase duties. The rest of Mr. Paddock’s speech was mainly devoted to a refutation of the state- ments made by democratic Senators as to the impoverished condition of the farming class and he showed that in the estate of Nebraska pemeeusly there was no such agricultural pression, but that, on the contrary, the farm- ers were prosperous andthe state rich and growing. IX FAVOR OF TIE PROTECTIVE POLICY. Mr. Platt said that Mr. Paddock’s statement in that respect was an unreasonable argument in favor of the protective policy. Under that olicy the state of Nebraska had, within the jast thirty years, grown froma prairie into a great, jourishing, rich, prosperous and advancing commonwealth. It was the protective policy that had stimu- lated the agricultare of that state and had made Nebraska possible. If the manufactures of the east had reaped some benefits from the protective tariff, the agricul- turist of Nebraska had reaped benefits more abundantly. The only thing that he (Mr. Platt) regretted in Mr. Paddock’s speech was thut the agricultural classes of the west had, in some way, not had a fair sharo of the benefits of protection. He ventured to Suggest to that Senator that the people of Ni braska were richer than the people of Con- necticut. and that no such rich men were to be found in Connecticut as were to be found in Nebraska, a state only thirty years old. MR, CARLISLE SAID that Mr. Platt’s argument attributing the prosperity of Nebraska to the high protective tariff was a repetition of the old argument which had been once wittily illustrated in the House of Representatives by Mr. S. 8. Cox. “There are no snakes in Ireland—Mr, Cox said—and Ireland has free trade; therefore there can be no snakes any country that has free tra There just as much connection (Mr. Carlisle ) between Mr. Cox's premises and inclusion as there was between Mr. Platt’s premises and conclusion from the speech of the Senator from Nebraska, The American people had been reasonably prosperous, not only farmers but all other classes, but they had been 80 in spite of high tariff ation, not on a count of it. Mr. Carlisle then procecded to argue di- rectly against the pending umendment. HOW MUCH WOOL To A POUND OF CLOTH? The discussion turned largely upon the ques- tion of the number of pounds of wool required to produce a pound of cloth—Mr. Carlisle and Mr. McPherson asserting on the authority of a gentleman, whose name was not made public, that it did not take four pounds of unwashed wool or anything like it to make apound of cloth, and Mr. Aldrich asserting on other au- jority that it did. Mr. Sherman—Docs the Senator from Ken- pan dispute the fact that it reqnires four, or in the neighborhood of four pounds of un- washed wool to make a pound of cloth? Mr, Carlisle —I do, Mr. Sherman—Have you furnished any evi- dence in support of your position? Mr, Carligle—I have, Mr. Sherman—If tho Senator can demon- Strate that fact it upsets the whole of the schedule. At one time I wondered about that enigma and I examined it. If the Sena- tor can show me that two pounds of unwashed = wool will make a pound of clothes 1 will agree that the whole schedule will have to be revised. I examined the testimony of experts ont hat point and the uniform statement was that, as a rule, it required four pounds of unwashed wool, or two pounds of washed wool, or a pound and ant of scoured wool to make a pound of cloth. PLENTY OF TALK, BUT NO HEADWAY. -After some two hours had been occupied in the discyssion Mr. Hale asked Mr. Aldrich what his expectation was as to making any progress with the bill. He did not suppore thaythe Senator from Rhode Island would convert the Senator from Kentucky. or that the Senntor fram Kentucky would convert the Senator from Rhode Island. The discus- sion was both interesting and illuminating. but still Senators ought to bear in mind that many important parts of tho bill had not yot been reached; that the time for general debate was nearing an end and that the time for the five-minute debate was limited. Under those conditions he should be glad to have the Senator from Rhode Island aetate whether he had any program in his mind as to when the wool schedule would probably be finished. Mr. Aldrich replied that he was in hopes that the wool schedule would be concluded this afternoon. Mr. Hale—That only leaves two days for general discussion on the rest of the bill. Mr, Aldrich—I think that all the rest of the bill, except the sugar schedule and the reci- procity scheme. has been pretty well discussed already, and 1 think there is no disposition on either side to protract the discussion. Mr. Hale—If this wool schedule takes up all the rest of the day it will leave only two days for the remainder of the bill Mr, Aldrich—I shall be well content if we can dispose of the wool schedule today. It is # very Important one. Mr. Hale—That is giving four hours more to it. Mr. Cockrell—Let us go right on and not consume time in talking about it. After some more discussion the committee amendment was agreed to—yeas, 26; nays, 18, Mr, McPherson moved to reduce the addi- tional ad valorem rates on paragraph 373 from 35 per cent to 25 fer cent. Rejected—yeus 17, nays 27. HOUSE, Mr. Stockbridge (Md.) moved to suspend the rules and pass the bill providing for govern- ment inspection of coal mines in the terri- tories. Agreed to. ‘MB. COOPER'S QUESTION OF PRIVILEGE. Mr. Cooper (Ind.), rising to a question of privilege, stated that one of the charges made in the resolution offered by him for the investi gation of the commissioner of pensions was that the commissioner was sell- ing stock in a refrigerator compan: to employes of the Pension Office. He had in vain attempted to obtain the names of the stockholders in the concern. Today he had learned (and this knowledge was borne out by the testimony) that one of the members of the investigating com- mittee—Representative M. L. Smyser of Ohio— was one of the stockholders, He (Mr. Cooper), theretere, offered a resolution discharging Mr. Smyser from the committee and directing the Speaker to appoint hie successor, THE QUESTION AT IssvE. Mr. Sawyer (N. ¥.) suid that the question which the committee was appointed to in- vestigate was whether the commissioner pro- moted employes under him for the reason that they became stockholders in the refrigerator company. There wai no reason why the fact that Mr. Sawyer was a stockholder affected his qualification to decide whether Mr. Raum’s official conduct had been wrong. Mr. Outhwaite (Ohio) was surprised that any gentleman of honor and integrity should raise any question as to the propriety ot the gentle- man from Ohio immedistely withdrawing from the committec, Mr. Smyser said that he had no intimation he was going to be appointed on the committee until the announcement was made by the As a member of the commit- tee he had en upon the dis- charge of his duty, and hé had done it faithfully and well. He did own some of the stock, but that fact in no manner could alec he integrity or honor of an honest man; aad friends who knew him would never impute to him @ want of honor or a want of integrity. While he did not understand why the f his owuership of stock should affect his ing as a member of the committee, if his leagues on the committee were of the that he was affected he would yield and resign his position.
