SOME HOT STUFF ftapublfoits Clash In ths sanata 1 About Tariff. * THEY FAIL TO AGREE Tillman Deelares That AldHch li < the Senate and That the Rfpub- j Mean Mfinbfn of the Finance com- j mtttee Ai-e the Boldest Band of ! i Buccaneer* That Ever Was. ! Sonator Dolllver of Iowa Saturday ' wade a speech In reply to that of Senator Aldrlch Friday night, when 1 the latter ga\> his statement of the < effect of the pending tariff bill upom < the cotton goods Industry. 1 Mr. Dolllver commented on the 1 statement that "only 10 per cent of 1 tbo cotton cloth schedules bad been 1 changed." Denying this by a counter statement on the authority of Senator I Stooot. that onlv 30 per cent were i unchanged, he was ouickly interrupted by Mr. Aldrlcb. "I said," he Interrupted, "that 'e>s ':-au 10 r<r cc-' o? tfc-a 1 importations, whuv; uaiounU'U in aggregate to $78,000,000, were affected by this provision." Mr. Aldrlch arising to leave the chamber, Mr. Dolllver said: "I hope the senator will remain to hear what I have to say." "I had an engagement," said Mr. Aldrlch. "Well, you have an engagement here," retorted th? lowan. "I say you will not turn your back upon what I have to say without taking the moral consequences that will naturally arise In such a case." Mr. Dolllver then presented a copy n not 111 ran frnm mopphantv nf V W York,'declaring against any Increase of the tariff duties. "Please state which of tbem are Importers," said Mr. Aldrlch. "Well, some of them are leading merchants of this country," replied Mr. Dolliver. Mr. Dolliver criticised Mr. Aldrlch for having rend In the senate an anonymous clipping stating that 1500,000 would be lost in the form of duties by reason of a decision in the United States supreme court because of a contention over the question whether the duty should bo 25 or 30 per ceut. All the importations of cloth of that kind, he said, at New York, in 1907, was worth only 9250,000, and the matter iu dispute involved only 5 per cent of the amount. "Yet." he said, "that is the kind of clap-trap that is here substituted for facts." Senator Borah declared that he had written to the treasury department for the total amount involved in this case and had been told it was 1400,000. If senators could not get reliable information, he declared." one thing must be apparent? there would .be (some Changes in the treasury department." "Hither," suggested Mr. Tillman, "the senator from Khodc. Island bamboozled us last night or the Senator from Iowa is bamboozling us DOW." When Mr. Dolllver concluded Mr. Culberson took the floor to criticise the statement of Senator Aid rich concerning tho revenue probable under the bill as reported by the finance committee. He said that Mr. Aldrich had criticised a portion of tiia (Mr. Culberson's) estimates which proved upon investigation to have been a literal copy of Mr. Aidrich's own estimates. A vote was taken on a committee amendment consolidating the paragraphs on the cheapest grades of cotton cloths and flxing a rate of 1 cent a square yard on unbleached cotton cloth of CO threads to the Inch of 1 1-4 cents on bleached cloth. If tallied at not more than 9 cents, and at 2 cents more than 12 cents. The amendment carried. 41 to 30. On this vote Senators Foster and McBnery voted with the Republicans. Mr. Tillman declared that he did not want to say anything bitter or to hurt any one's feelings, said, "I am very, very tired of this sham battle, or what appears to me to be one oi that side," addressing the Republicans. "Last night the senator from Rhode Island (Mr. Aldrich) proved to his own satisfaction and to the satisfaction of the Macedonian phlanx which be has organized and holds together that there Is no increase of rates in the amendment. The senator from Wisconsin and the senator from Iowa today have proved from about the same sources that ?he rates have been increased materially." Declaring that Senator Aldrich was admitted to be the senate in the matter pending. Mr. Tillman said" w ny don t you push this thing to a vote and go home?' He said that n Republican senator had referred to tbe Republican members of the fi- 1 nnnce committee as hypocrites. 1 "You are not hypocrites," added Mr 1 Tillman. "but >ou are the boldest 1 Kind of buccaneers that ever go' 1 together. Ry 39 to 23. I no ftsf committee fnendment. providing specific for ad valorem duties of the house bill was ' agreed to.

The suggestion was adopted and the , ' vote wan then taken on 13 amend- M ments covering 10 pages of the bill. | I Tbevv were agreed to as were the en- j i tire sections containing them by a f vote of 39 to 28. 1 ??????

Sen- J itor Stone of Missouri, made a state- ^ nent in which all Democrats will s >e interested. Senator Stone spoke >n the vote of certain Democratic * senators in favr f a tariff on iron * >re, and as Senator Tlllruau has been j iccnsed of being in league with the t Steel Trust because he voted for the * arlff on iron ore. we present some 1 ?xtracts from Senator Stone's state- f went so as our readers can see if :he charge against Senator Tillman is true or false. Here Is Senator ' Stone's statement: Mr. President. I am one of the J plghteen Democrats who voted to put a duty of 2J> cents per ton on Iron ore. The eighteen Democrats who voted that way are Messrs. Ba- ' x>n. Bailey. Bankhead, Chamberlain. Clay, Daniel, Fletcher, Foster, Fra- , tier, Johnston of Alabama, McEnery, Martin, Payter, Simmons, Stone, Taliaferro, Taylor and Tillman. Ten Democrats voted to put Iron ore on the free list, viz, Messrs. Clarke of Arkuasas, Culberson, Gore. Hughes, Newlands, Overman, Hayner, Shively, Sm'th of Maryland and Smith ol South Carolina. Mr. 1 resided, when the question of putting a duty on lion ore was before the senate, I was hesitant Vtd somewhat uncertain as to what wis the right and proper thing to dobut ,'n the enl the best Judgment or wrtieo I am capable, not only as a party man, but as one desirous or promoting tho best policy for the public welfare, 1 conceived it to bo my duty to vote as 1 did. 1 believe in tho doctrine of a revenue tariff, and this whether considered from this standpoint of the constitutional power vested in congress to levy tariffs or from the standpoint of economic policy. I believe that tariffs should be levied with the primary object of producing a needed public revenue, and that the duties should be as Widely distributed and laid upon as many articles as possible, always, of course, having in view the needs of the government; and I hold that (he burden should be made lightest upon artciles of common use and heaviest upon others. Under present circumstances I doubt the wisdom, or I might more properly say the feasibility, of nn extended free list; but at the same time, having In view the needs of the treasury. 1 favor admitting free of duty as many articles of common necessity as possible where the articles are controlled by a monopoly. <U\J u\ji an a gruiTHl proposillOB SI10scrlbe to the notion advocated by some of free raw materials to those who manufacture them, and at the same time allow protective duties on the manufactured products. Succinctly stated that Is my view of the Democratic position on the tariff question. Now, in applying this view to the case of Iron ore. The tirst fact confronting me was that the duty of 25 cents per ton was a purely revenue duty, and In no sense a protective duty. Twenty-five cents per ton on 1 ore is equivalent to about 10 per ' cent ad valorem. That means that under that rate all ores coming from the outside Into this country for con- ' sumption, except that coming from Cuba, would pay a duty of approximately 10 per cent. Under our reciprocity agreement witb Cuba, ores from that Island would come in uu- ' tier a reduced rate, and would pay 2 0 per cent lesn than ores from other foreign mines. In other words, placing the rate at 25 cents per ton. ' while foreign ores generally would pay 10 per cent ad valorem, Cuba 1 jres would pay 8 per cent. Whether ' u the one case or the other manifest- 1 ly the duty Is very low. .Mr. President, every since we have ' bad tariff laws, and we have had 1 hem for more than a century, there ' bas been a duty on iron ore. In 1 ill our tariff haws up to this time. ^ whether made by Democrats. He- ' mblicaus, or others, a duty has been aid on these ores. The duty of 25 ( :ents per ton, for which I voted, is 1 ne lowest duty ever Imposed upon J ron on* in any tariff bill ever enact- 1 d by the American congress. Kven 1 he Walker bill, that wisest, best ar- f anged, and inost celebrated of Dem- !l leratlf tariff measures, laid a duty ' ?u these ores almost double that pro- r Mded In the bill before the senate; ' nid a duty of 4 0 per cent was laid on ' hose ores In the Wilson bill. And 1 o. Mr. President, at the very Incep- ' Ion of my investigation and consid- ' ration of this subjoct, I was con- 7 routed with this situation and with j be?* facts. i Therefore, it seemed to me, unless v ome excellent reason could bo given i o the contrary, that I ought to vote f o impose this low revenue tax, and n felt that in doing so 1 was fol- t owing not only Democratic policy, v >ut Democratic precedent. Of r ourse. this was a question about r rhieh Democrats might well and con- i Istentlv differ. The question was f whether iron oro should go on tho e ree list, or be subject to a low reve- j t me duty. Whenever that question c s related to any article is presented a o a Democratic legislator it is one I t ir is at liberty to decide according t o hi4" co* n Judgment?according to h Is ovn view of the whole situation f -and this he can do without in any l? egree violating his party obligation r Ignoring his party policy. The chief argument against the tax as predicted upon the assertion that ? ae Uuited steel corporation, known s the "steel trust," favored the ^position of a tariff duty on iron re. It was asserted that this great orporatlon had acquired possession nd control, through ownership and leaseholds of enormous areas of land ontaining iron ore, and that in conequence that corporation practicaly held a monopoly of the American * upply. One senator, at least, and torhaps others, asserted that the rust controlled about 85 per cent if the iron ore area of the United Itates. Assuming these almost inredible statements to be true, it wai irged that foreign ore should be adnitted free in the interest of iulependent manufacturers of iron and ^ ;teel. * Now, Mr. President, i*. is undoubt- ^ dly true that the "steel trust," so * jailed, has obtained possession and a control of a large adreage of ore a jearing iana, out 10 say mai me 1 :uat controls 85 per cent, or even 1 >0 per cent, of these lands Is. to my 1 Bind. a gross exaggeration. The 1 senate; from Alabama (Mr. Johnston) says ;hat the trust and Its al- ' lied interests do not in any way ( >ontrol ns much as 50 per cent of * ihe ore lands and mines of his State, ' ind the Senator from Michigan (Mr. 1 Smith ) declii'v. a.> a natter of p?r- ' sonal knowledge, that 'he trust doe* ' n>?i coatrrl as truth as 50 per cent of the ore lands of h'.* State. The same is declared to be true as ' to the lands and mines of other '< States. In fact, it is affirmed that ' in some oi the States, as in Virginia, I where great quantities of Iron ore exist and are mined, the trust has 1 no property interests whatever. Mr. 1 President, to my mind it is perfectly evident and clear that if we should exclude and shut out every acre of ore lands owned or controlled by the trust there would still be left vastly more than could be used by all the iron and steel industries of the country. including the trust, for a century. Of course. 1 may be wrong as to this, but I do not believe so. I have the utmost confidence that my estimate in this behalf is at least approximate', correct. If this be so. then the Independent manufacturers of steel and iron, if indeed there really are any such, can obtain their domestic supply on equal terms with the trust; and if that be true, then of what peculiar advantage would free ore be to the "independents?" If foreign ore should be made free, the trust could go out into the world and buy and import as well as the "independents," and at least upon equal terms with them. One would hold no advantage over the other. Hut it has been asserted that the steel trust magnates favored a duty on iron ore. I am frank to say that in my view of the situation, as I have stated it. I am unable to perceive now the imposition of this 4uty can possibly work to the advantage to the trust, or how free ore would contribute to its disadvantage. 1 must have clearer, more definite, and certain evidence than has been submitted to convince me to the contrary. I can not ignore what seems to me to hn nlnin ? U ?? ?UI? - lv wv- tuv CI Hill Ul 1&1XS. Ml'ltllion, and be thrown oft my feet and sat.nipeded beenuse some one exhibits the specter of the steel trust. I must be controlled in my action by facts as I see them, and not by the fear of some remote and improbable danger. Again. Mr. President, this further fact stands out and can not be overlooked: Knormous iron ore deposits have been recently discovered and are now being rapidly developed on the northern coast of Cuba. These great properties have been acquired, ostensibly, at least, by the IJethlehem and the Pennsylvania steel companies. These ores can be mined cheaper in Cuba than in this country, and they can be shipped to our seaports by water at a comparatively light transportation charge. Therelore it is altogether probable that the great bulk of foreign ores coming to the States will come from these Cuban mines, owned, as I ha\> said, by the Bethlehem aHd Pennsylvania steel companies. In the management of these com- , ?anies, at least of the Bethlehem. Mr. , Schwab is a central and commanding , figure. And who is Mr. Schwab? He was educated in tho iron and steel industry under the tutelage of \ndrew Carnegie, and he was at the liead of the great Carnegie works ' svhen they were sold to the trust, le received pay for his stock in the Carnegie plant, amounting to milions. in the stocks and securities ; >f the steel corporation, and there- ( "ore for a long time served as the 1 jresident of the great corporation cnown as the "trust." Several years igo he retired from the presidency >f that corporation to take charg" ind direction of the Bethlehem esablishruent. But does anyone sup?ose that he has severed his connecion with the trust; that ho no long>r holds its stock and securities In arge amounts, or that he Is not still ntlmatelv connected and vitally in ?-u in iuai stupendous orgamat Ion ? Are thoro any so credulous as t ? a maginc that the corporation with x vhlch Mr. Schwab is at this time 1 mmediately and prominently identi- ' ied is independent? Rather is it > lot more reasonable to suppose thai P liese Schwab enterprises are in some 1" cay allied with the greater eorpo- s ation? Mr. President, while I can t >ot speak with knowledge. I have > icie or no doubt that when Mr. Schwab's Cuban mines begin to mptv their ores into our markets f he trust will share with the Schwab ompany in whatever benefits may t ccrue. It seems to mo. therefore. \ bat tree ore would work no harm v o any of these great establishments, f ml would be of greater benefit to r L 0. P. DOOMED! enalor Smith Thinks its Days Ara Numbered.

Smith, junior United Hates Senator from this State, spent rionday in Columbia on personal msiness.

Mr. Smith was generally congratllated upon his stand on the tariff luestion and many of his friends expressed their gratification that he tad received such flattering attention ?nd such complimentary notice up>n the occasion of his speech in the Senate last week. Mr. Smith declares his belief that :he tariff bill is the rock upon which the Republican party ship will get 1 Jar which will send it to the bottom in the next presidential campaign. "In this present tariff bill, Id the present discussion," he said, "it is made apparent that the Republican tariff policy has at last reached its logical outcome. The principle has been applied and its disastrous effects. understood when this bill becomes law, will defeat the Republian party. And. tin order to prevent this logical result of their outrageous policy, the Republican press is attempting to magnify what seems to be the disloyalty of some Democrats. "By holding this np before the public, they are hoping to distract attention from the disastrous effects of their own applied policy "The difference between the Democratic situation and the Republi can situation is that the Republi can principle has been applied, ha; been tested, put into law and ha* proved disastrously disappointing. "Its advocates have been loya practically unanimous, while, on th? other hand, the Democratic doctrine has not been applied, and the few Democrats who have seemingly de serted have in nowise affected the principles of I>emocracy but hav? simply emphasized the misleading and pernicious doctrine of protection. "Therefore, the hope of the conn try is in pruning the Democratic forces of such as will not stand foi Democratic principle and the appli cation of the plans of Democracy ir government. "The people must not be misieac in thinking that Democracy as i principle of government is a fall tire because a few men may be un true to their pledges, but it is true that the Republican protection uiin ciple is a failure, because the He publicans have been true to theii pledges, carry them Into effect ant the result is that the people wil repudiate it.

I believe that the next elec^ tion will witness an overwhelming victory for the Democratic party The line of distinction between the two parties, as I see it now, is not sectional to the extent that it ha.-t bgen. but is the line between the masses and the protected interests. "This will be the battle ground of the coming conflict; and if handled properly, I have no doubt of the Issue. I think the nterests of the people would be better served If more prominence were given to the distinctions between the present system ancr real Democracy, than to magnify the shortcomings of some few Democrats."
