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.
Senator Bacon then suggested that
as all amendments of the cotton
schedule involved tbe same question i t
tbey might be voted on at one time, i ?
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

seventy people went into the lake c
In about eight feet of water. *
The cries and shrieks of those <

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.

"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

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

lion. E. I). Smith, junior United
Hates Senator from this State, spent
rionday in Columbia on personal
msiness. The State says Mr. Smith
s in the very best ot" health and
.pints and his work at Washington
igrees with him, although he said
hat really he prefers "cotton cam
>aignlng" with its activity and work
0 the more sedate occupation as a
Member of the Senate.
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.
"If the press of this country wil
keep this distinction and will insist
on the repudiation of the graft sys
tem now on us, and will plead t'oi
the principles of Democracy belnf
put in practice by the genuine Dein
ocrats. 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."

(MiiH'i'Vtllt' Man Huns Amuck in
Packing House, Slashing Mndl.v
With lln/.or-cdgc Knife. ,
At Somerville. Mass.. Saturday,
John Murphy turned from pig-stiekiUK
to man-killing in the North Packing
and Provision Company's salughter
house and -driving his fellow ?
working men before him., slew five of
them and wounded four others.
Two of the wounded were reported
later as dying. According to some of
the workmen. Murphy had been acting
peculiarly for some days, but
he retuned from his dinner apparently
in normal condition.
Shortly after 2 o'clock he suddenly
uttered a blood-curdling scream and
sprang at Dr. Hayes, waving his 15
inch razor-edge knife iu his liund.
He cut Dr. Hayes a deep gash 011 the
week, stabbed him over the heart und
practically disemboweled him.
The terrified workmen rushed for
the door, but Murphy ran after them,
slashing right and left. Every man
whom he struck went down with a
! groan. The crowd plunged down
stairs, with Murphy after them, and
1 at every landing he cut somebody.
On the second floor one of the
> workmen, an Italian, seized a heavy
' bar of iron and feiled Murphy, but he
1 wns quickly on his feet again and
wounded another man.
t On the street floor he was given
another heavy blow on the head and
' his knife was wrenched from his
hand. Two polieo officers came in
- to assist tiie workmen and Murphv
. was given a fearful heating and
finally overpowered and 'taken to
- the police station.
Murphy is f?0 years old, weighs
* 200 pounds and was regarded as
