Bacon of Georgia, However, Puts Himself Firmly onthe Side of Republicans. McLaurin of South Carolina and Clay of Georgia Make Thelr Maiden Speeches. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 5.—The quesiion of putting a duty® of §2a thou- sand feet on white pine lumber caused a long debate in the Senats to-day and | finally went over without action. One of | e Democratic Senators, Bacou of Georgie, put himself firmly on the side oi the Republicans so far as that para- graph is concerned, arguing in favor of it. When the Senate convened a communi- from ihe Secretary of State was re- transmitting a letter from the Minisier of Ausiro-Hungary, Baron von Hengelmueller, protesting in behalf of his Government sgainst the discriminations of tlerugar schedule in the present tariff bill against bountied sugar. The Min:s. ter’s letter was read in fuil at the request of Vest. It urgesthat the discrimination against sugar receiving bounties denies to Ausiria-Hungary the most favored na- tion treatment, and also tbhreatens to | damage heavily the exports of the coun- The communi¢ation was referred to the Finance Committee. At 12:15 o’clock the consideration of the tariff bill was resumed. The first para- graph of the wood scheaule relaiing to hewn timbers, etc., was agreed to at 1} cents per cubic foot—the uew rate pro- posed by the committ When the next p raph relating to sawed boards, planks, etc., was reached Vest said he would later move to place the articles of this paragraph and those of the previous on the free iist. Allison then perfected the provision re- lating to the adaition of the export auty so that the proviso will apply also to “‘broomsticks and chains used in towing " This amendment was agreed to. Jones of Arkansas, relerring to the Leavy burden it imposed un the people of West, said the rates of the Lill were result of a determined and systematic effort by the lumber men, and in this con- n he read a letter irom the National mber Convention that was issued from office in Washington urging ihat peti- tions to Senators and members be pre- pared bearing the nzmes of workingmen. This Jones declared was the means by which the high rates were being urged. Vest gaid there was not a single item in the bill so utterly indefensible as that tak- white pine from the free list and plac- o u rate of §2 2d feet upon it. led *“the king of and yet the clearin- of this bill was te utely prohibitory on tent of the frame make the rates ab: t.13 wo It was due to some extent to combina- tion between the lumber interests of the : d South, and he had been con- fronted by this combination during his last canvass. The Scnator referred to the manner in which the Maine celegation— the ablest one in Congress—had succeeded for y in keeping sprucs on the dutiable 1st. It was a credit to their capacity which they displayed in all directions, se- curing among other things more public buiidngs than any other State. Vest declared that the proposed rate on ite pine was In the interest of the lumber barons, who have accumulated millions uvon millions” at the expense of the people. As evidence of this the Sena- tor read a letter from Michigan giving the ichizan pine kings. In fervid tones Vest referred to this added burden on the poor, {0 whom every penny was almost a dollar and every dollar almost & drop of blood. It was, he said, the most indefensible item of the bill, without jus tification or palliation. Jones of Arkansas warred his Southern associates ag ament that the lumber interests of the South would be benefited by the exclusion of Canadian lumber. He read a letter from an Ameri- can lumberman on the border, saving the resuit of the rates would be to compel the Canadians to reduce the price of their lnmber, and it eventually would come into the United States cheaper than at present. McLaurin (D.) of South Carotina, who | recently entered the Senate, made bis ini- | tial speech, criticizing tie rates of the wood schedule, saying they were not de- signed to benefit any Southern industry, and that if there was anything of the kind it was merely incidental. Vest moved as amendment excepting white pine from the operation of the paragraph. Bacon (D.) of Georgia expressed his dif- ferences from Vest. The latter, he said, bad advocated rates increased 100 per cent, while in this sc edule the average ad valurem was below 20 per cent. That being the case Bacon asserted that Vest's statement that this was the most unjusti- fiavla feature of the bill was not war. ranted. “I regard it as the most reason- able feature of the whole bill,”” declared Bacon. “Iregard the schedule as a proper one irrespective of the party from which it comes.” The janior Senator from Georgia, Clay, made bis maiden speech. He did not b - lieve in free trade, bus did believe in tariff sufficient to support the - Government carried on economcally. He denied that the pending biil deserved the support of the people or that it should supplant the existing tariff iaw, He also denied that there was any necessity for tariff agita- tion now and he went on to critic ze in detail some provisions, particularly those in the sugzar schedule. Vest moved to except white pine from the provision in paragraph 193, putting a duty of $2 a thousand on sawed lumber not especially provided for. Pettigrew favorsd Vest's amendment, but asked that the paragraph go over un- til Monday. Hale objected. Pettigrew remarked significantly that more progress wouid be made if his re- quest was complied with. Hale replied he was not to be frightened by a threat. Allen, who had been absent some weeks, seid he desired to speak on the paragraph, but was not prepared to do so to-day. Pettigrew began a long speech against the wood schedule. The principle of pro- tection put forward by the Republican parly was, he said, that under protection as would lower prices to consumers. But this schedule was 1n the interest of a few men who bad *‘cornered’’ white pine. Should the people of South and North Dakota be compelled to pay tribute to them ? Allen said about a dozen parties owned the white pine product of the country. Pettigrew mentioned one company whose §100-shares were worth $6000 now. And now it was proposed to add still more to vrofits. He regarded it ss simply impo:sible for the Senate to indorse any- thing of the kind. How long, he asked, would the people bear such a thing? Not more than one election, he said, and he doubted if they would bear it so long. Finally he asked that the matter go over t1ll Monday, and it was so ordered. Jones of Arkansas moved to strike out paragraph 94, placing 20 per cent on rail- road ties end telegraph poles of cedar or other wood. The motion was lost, 17 to 33. Allison withdrew the committee amend- ment strikinz out paragraph 195, putting a duty on Kindling wood. A vote was taken on the striking out of paragraph to 27, Paragraphs 196, cabinet woods; 198, wheel hubs; 202, casks and barrels, and 205, house or cabinet furniture, were ac- cepted. Paragraphs 197, 201 and 203 were passed over. The duty on laths was mads 25 cents a thousand instead of 15 cents, Paragraph 204 was changed o as o make the duty on toothpicks 2 centsathousand, and on skewers 20 per cent. This ended the wood schedule, except as to numerous reserved paragraohs, and brought the bill up to the sugzar schedule. The Senate then went into executive ses- sion, and at 4:3) o'clock adjourned. | PRESIDENIIAL Beveral Conswiar Appointments and a Bateh 07 drmy Promotions. WASHINGTON, D.
