Some oth er sections relating to jflass manufac tured articles, v that previously had been passe dover, were agreed to. The Senate proceeded to the consid eration of passed over sections until the iron ore paragraph was reached, when Senator Crawford spoke at length upon the lack of wisdom of any tariff that encouraged the ex haustion of natural resources, which eonld not readily be reproduced. He insisted that there should he no tariff on iron ore, oil, lumber and coal. Early in the session, Senator Payn tcr spoke at length in favor of the | removal of tht* uuiy o&jslx cents a pound upon leaf tobacco as a means for freeing the tobacco growers from the control of the tobacco trust. Senator Simmons offered an amend ment to the window glass schedule of the tariff bill, reducing the rates be low those suggested by Senaor Cum mins in. his amendment to the same paragraph Tuesday. "The rates proposed bv you are the rates of the Wilson bill, are they not?" inquired Mr. Aldrjch, address ing the Senator from North Carolina. ."Well," replied Mr. Simmons, inkling and hesitating, "that should not be an argument against them. I think if that is the case it would rather be a commendation." * ? ? ? Substantial progress was ma<lo in tho .consideration of the tariff Tues day, the amendments of the com mittee on finance being upheld by the Senate by substantial majorities, A feature of the day '? session was a general discussion concerning the great disparity between wholesale and retail price* of commodities. Re publican Senators declared that this difference was so great as to demon itrate that the duty levied by a pro tective tariff had small effect on the price paid by the consumer. On motion of Mr. Aldrich the sec tion relating to soap was amended so fls to place a duicy of 50 per cent ad valorem on perfunfed soap. The Houso provision ?on sulphur was further amonded so ns to place crude sulphur on the free list and to provide for a duty of $4 a ton on re fined sulphur. Speaking in favor of a reduction of the duties on itone and eavthenware as a means of giving the people gen erally cheaper goods of that kind, Mr. Baoon offered an amendment re ducing the rate from 00 to 35 per cent ad valorem. Mr. Bacon's amendment was de feated by a vote of 25 to 54, Senator LaFollette beinir the only Republican who voted in the affirmative with the Democrats. ? ? ? Almost the entire session of the Senate Friday was ,given up to a de bate on tho profits of the United States Steel Corporation and toward the end of tho day, personalities were freely indulged in by Senators. This occurred after Senator Root had spoken in defense of the finance committee and in criticism of Sena tors who had complained of tho fail ure of that committee to provide more ample information concerning various schedules. Mr. Money resented what he characterised as a lecture to the Senate, by Senator Root, and said if he desiredfless speaking in the body "he should do less of it himself."
