As rapidly as these were “jresented they were voted down by _swelling _choruses of ec.” Each ‘chorus was grgeted with general “laughter from floor and galleries and 7it was with difficulty that the Senate jwas brought to order for the final na decisive roll call. FAN his measure, the first republican Eprotcetive tariff to be written in sthirtecn years, became an even great- stcrm center in the Senate than “Jic the Pavne-Aldrich bill of 1909 ‘From the start democrats assaulted ‘it in full force as even higher than the 1309 law and as the debate de- veloped opposition to individual sec- tions began to find expressicn on the ‘republican side.

Soon after Senate consideration be- ‘gan on April 20 the finance commit- itee majority. which had labored with the legislation for eight months. be- gan to rewrite many of the rates Occasionally the Senate added to its work by direct vote. with a result that as passed the bill differed widely from that reported to the Senate last April 11 Chairman McCumber of the finance ‘committee. who piloted the measure through the Senate. said in a formal Statement last night reviewing its Pprovisions it would yield more than_$400,000.000 jn revenue during the first vear it was in operation. This is 'halt a hillion more than has been- yielded ¢ tariff in the history of the country. The application of the rates in this act to the imports that will come fn during the first twelve months of i*s life.” said Senator McCumber. “Is estimated to show a lower ‘average equivalent ad valorem rate of dyty than under any recent republican tariff S “Comparing the bill as it goes into conference with the bill as it came 1o the Senate (from the House) 4t be shown that the rates imposed by the House bill have been zreatlv reduced. Comparing the bill w evious republican protection bills. it will be found that outside of dye products. which under existing law ran only be imported when this coun- try can not supply the demand. the average ad valorem duties upon man- pfactured products are lower than in any previous protective !anf( act. Lower Compensatory Rates. is true also that, while “It wool and other agricuitural products are | given greater protection than in any other tariff bill, manufacturers have been gziven a lower compensatory rate of duty than in any previous protective tariff bill % “The result of this tariff is that very industry in the country_is Tairly and justly protected. The duties, however. are not made pro- hibitive.” Summing up. Senator McCumber #aid the bill as passed by the Senate will “First. insure ‘American labor and of » living wage. “Sacond. permit the establishment and continuance of industries vital to the welfare of this nation. “Third. protect alike the producer of raw materials and the manufac- turers. “Fourth. permit readjustment of rates without general tariff revision to meet changing economic condi- tions: Fifth. require the ascertainment and submission to Congress of facts affecting competitive conditions.™ Democrats Assail Schedales. Senators Simmons of North Caro- lina and Walsh of Massachusetts. chlef among the democratic leaders in the tariff fight, presented a dif- ferent picture in a formal statement. They described the measure as “one of the most abominable legislative acts of an American Congress. “The toll the American people ‘must pay under the operation of th: bill is stupendous.” their statement ®aid. “Tt will reach into the billions. rocdstuffs, clothing, practically all «f-the very essentials and necessities of life bear the highest duties ever before levied and- all of this while Feople arc demanding reductions in the cost of living and capital ig de- flating wages." . “Experts of the goverment estimate that if the levied on fresh meats.” ceraals, pota: toes and beans are effective in in- employment for the payment creasing prices. thes duties alone will'} amount to an increase of $1.350.000 000 in the cost of living.
