TARIFF DEBATE DRAGS ON
Gore Accuses Standpatters of Making
Retailers Scapegoats and Craw
ford Urges Free Trade in
Raw Products.
WASHINGTON, May 12. After a. de
late of several hours In the Senate today
on the window glass schedule of the
tariff bill, Aldrlch asked that the para
graph be passed over. Some other sec
tions relating to glass manufactured ar
ticles that previously had been passed
over were agreed to.
The Senate considered sections that
had been passed over until the Iron ore
paragraph was reached, when Crawford
vpoke at length upon the lack of wisdom
of any tariff that encouraged the ex
haustion of natural resources which could
not readily be reproduced. He Insisted
that there should be no tariff on iron
ore, oil. lumber and coal.
Paynter spoke ln: favor of the removal
of the duty of six cents a pound upon
loaf tobacco as a means of freeing the
vtohaeco-growers from the control of the
tobacco trust. ,
Simmons Offers "Wilson Rate.
Simmons offered an amendment to the
window glass schedule, reducing the rates
below those suggested by Cummins In
his amendment to the same paragraph
yesterday.
"The rates proposed by you are the
rates of the Wilson bill, are they not?"
said Aldrlch, addressing the Senator from
Worth Carolina.
Well" replied Simmons, smiling, "that
should not be an argument against them.
I think if that is the case, it would
rather be a commendation."
Simmons then addressed the Senate at
some length upon the window glass in
dustry, to demonstrate that the glass
manufacturers could prosper with duties
much below those provided In the 'pend
ing measure.
Halo Scared of Germany.
At the close of a long debate on the
glass industry, Hale declared that the
tariff duty had no relation to the protec
tive duty levied to build up the manufac
turers In this country. Speaking of for
eign competition he continued:
"There never was a time when the pro
found policy of the uerman Empire has
been so strong as today in the determina
tion to Invade the American market. The
man Is. blind who does not see that al
most every manufacturer In this country
is met by this determined Invasion upon
our Industries by competing industries of
Germany to obtain our markets."
Make Retailer Scapegoat.
Gore, the blind Senator from Oklahoma,
delivered an impassioned defense of re
tall dealer against any charge of extor
tion. He declared the Senate had turned
itself Into a grand Jury "and is here
ready to return a verdict against the
retail dealers for the high, prices of arti
cles used by the American people, and
the Senator from Maine has constituted
himself foreman of this Jury.
"The manufacturers and trusts are un
dertaking to hold up the middlemen and
retailers as a shield to protect them
selves against the outraged consumers.
I stand here to enter a plea of not guilty
for the retailers of this country."
Gore named shoes, hats, shirts, cloth
ing and other articles as being sold to
retailers under contract that they should
be sold at an agreed price.
Aldrlch contended that the duty on
glass had no relation to the price at
which glass is sold in this country.
Oliver's Sad Experience.
During, a discussion of the profits of
window glass manufacturers by New
lands, Oliver of Pennsylvania objected
that there Is not a window glass manu
facturer In the United States today who
is making anything like a fair profit.
"1 speak with feeling," said Oliver,
"because within four years I have in
vested no small amount of money in the
manufacture of window glass and I tell
you It disappeared as rapidly as though
I had put it on the wrong number at
Monte Carlo."
Committee amendments relating to
marble and stone manufactures were
agreed to.
. When the section relating to iron ore,
on which the committee has now rec
ommended a duty of 25 cents a ton. was
reached. Crawford opposed placing a duty
on natural products of the country, such
as lumber, oil, iron ore and coal.
Rayner gave notice that he would move
to place iron ore on the free Hat.
Crawford for Free Natural Products.
Crawford declared that, so far as the
cost of labor In Canada and the United
States was concerned, there was no dif
ference In the lumber Industry, and that
none of the arguments used to Justify
the protective tariff could be applied
to it.
Referring to the oil industry, Crawford
declared that the Standard Oil Company
had been shown by the bureau of corpora
tions to have prospered by gross unfair
ness and the violation of every principle
of honesiy and decency.
Reviewing the history of the United
States Steel Corporation in respect to its
attitude toward the independent steel pro
ducing concerns. Crawford said:
"One of the pathetic things that have
come under my observation here is the
desperate appeal made to members of
this Senate by men of small means strug
gling along with small factories. Imagin
ing that they are really Independent con
cerns. They are as helpless as a little
mouse that attempts to play on the carpet
in front of a feline that can crush It with
its paw. When we think we are helping
them, we are simply strengthening the
big corporations that can absolutely crush
them at any moment."
Cry of Tobacco Growers.
Paynter laid before the Senate a history
of tobacco Industry in this country. He
declared that the tobacco-growers be
lieve they are "in the grasp of a con
scienceless monopoly." and, adverting
to tne tobacce troubles tn Kentucky,
expressed the hope that the enactment
of the proposed law would remove the
causes which have provoked these
troubles. Continuing, he said:
"The manufacturers have no right to
demand, as a matter of protection to
them, that the farmer should not be
permitted to sell his tobacco in the
natural leaf to whomsoever he pleases.
When the Internal revenue laws were
enacted, the Government made no
promise to manufacturers that th
farmers should not be permitted to sell
their tobacco in the natural leaf to
the consumers through the instrumen-
tsllties of their vendors."
When Paynter had concluded his speech
Culberson took the floor for a brief com
ment on recent court decisions :n litigation
against tobacco corporations, institut
ed by the Department of Justice. He
said that Circuit Court Judges of the
United States had expressed the opin
ion that this trust was a "novelty and
existed In violation of the laws of the
United States."
Texan Attacks Wlckersham.
"I do not know what may be the
purpose of the present Attorney-General
in respect to this suit." said
eral in respect to this suit," said Mr.
Culberson, "but he has made a speech
recently in New York, in which great
doubt is thrown upon the course he
proposes to take with reference to the
enforcement of this anti-trust law. I
want to call attention to the fact that
the Attorney-General of the United
btates in a case brought by his de
partment, which is now pending in the
Supreme Court of the United States,
criticises the opinion of the court be
low in favor of the Government and
against a monopoly, and suggests," if
1 know the meaning of the English
language, that If that opinion of the
lower court is a proper construction
of the law, the Administration proposes
to amend the law on that subject."
Culberson then asked to have the
speech that Attorney-General Wicker
sham delivered in New York, April 30,

sylvania, Who Complains of Losing
Money tn Glass Industry Under
Protection.
printed in the Congressional Record, and
the request was granted.
A touch of humor was Introduced when
Gallinger laid before the Senate a
petition from his constituents in New
Hampshire, praying that a reduction of
10 cents a bushel be made in the duty
on wheat.
As the title of the petition was read,
Gallinger glanced toward the Senators In
the wheatgrowlng states, many of whom
have figured prominently in the move
ment for lower duties on the manufac
tured products of New England.
Nelson, Burkett and McCumber and
others exchanged elgnlflcent smiles with
the Senator from New Hampshire, but no
comment was made.
PROTEST AGAINST FREE TRADE
Ocampo Says Question of Life and
Death In Philippines.
WASHINGTON, May 12. Resident
Commissioner Ocampo, one of the repre
sentatives In Congress from the Phil
ippine Islands, today Indorsed the protest
against free trade between the United
States and the Philippines recently ex
pressed by a number of Filipinos in Bos
ton. He said: . . ,
'The Philippines Assembly, the true
representative of popular sentiment, has,
in conjunction with the Upper House,
which Is composed largely of Americans,
expressed itself in opposition to free
trade, and since the passage of the bill
by the House of Representatives, the
feeling against it has grown more In
tense. This Is because free trade would
embarrass the Philippine government
financially.
'This free trade proposition is a case
of life and death with us. The Filipinos
who signed the protest have done nothinif
more than express a feeling universal n
the Islands against free trade for the con
sequences it would bring to the islands In
the long run.
"I hope hat no one will think that in
expressing the aspirations of the Phil
ippine people for ultimate, reasonably
prompt and absolute Independence, they
have ceased to feel profound gratitude
for the opportunity that the American
republic gave us to be rid of Spain. It
ought to be understood that In the cen
turies of protest against the rule of
Spain we were not merely trying to
throw off one yoke to go under another.
"Providence made us a different race.
Our problems are not those of Europe or
America, and we cannot approach their
conslderat'on with the same ir.ind. What
Is best for Europe or America is not
necessarily best for Asia, and Asiatic
problems ought better to be left to the
people of that part of the world for so
lution. But one idea we do have Jn com
mon, and that is a desire to be permitted
to govern ourselves."
REVISING GLASS
SCHEDULE
Senate Committee Would Stimulate
Imports of Fine Grades.
WASHINGTON, May 12 Members
of the Senate finance committee are
working nightly on amendments to
the tariff bill relating to subjects not
finally disposed of before the bill was
reported. This Is true of the glass
schedule.
With the aid of a .customs service
expert from New York, an amendment
to the glass schedule Is being drafted
with a view to making a new classifi
cation, continuing the protection on
window glass of small sizes which is
manufactured in the United States and
stimulating the Importation of the
finer qualities of glass.
COURT-MARTIAL FOR HAINS?

BOOST WHEAT PRICE
Farmers' Union to Organize in
Western States.
AIM IS TO HOLD WHEAT
Convention Meets to Apply Same
Methods as Have Succeeded in
Upholding Cotton Market
in Southern States.
SPRINC1FIELD. Mo., May 12. The first
step toward securing closer relations be
tween the gralngrrowers and cattle-raisers
of the West and the Southwest was taken
here today at a mass meeting of the Na
tional Farmers' Union, which has a mem
bership of 3,000,000. About 100 delegates
from all parts of the West are present.
The sessions will be executive.
It is Intended, it is stated, to organize
the gralngrowers the same as the cotton
planters of the South are organized, the
chief aim- being to aid members in etoring
wheat until prices advance to the point
of selling at a profit. Congress will
also be peUtioned to enact a law that will
prevent corners in grain.
Charles S. Barrett, of Union City, La.,
president of the union, gave an outline of
the body's work in a significant interview
before calling the meeting to order.
"We have," said President Barrett,
"found a solution, for one of the most Im
portant problems in the South, the hand
ling of the cotton crop to the best inter
ests of the growers. There has -been no
consolidation of - the farmers into a
"trust," but an amalgamation of ware
houses. At the present time we have a
thorough organization that can regulate
the price of cotton. We are deriving as
much benefit in the cotton markets today
as the market manipulators. It is our
ultimate aim to control . every cotton
warehouse in the South. We have now
reached nearly the height of our useful
ness to the South and have turned to the
assistance of the Middle West and the
Northern farmer with our organization
and financial support, I am not familiar
with the conditions and peeds of the
grain and stock growers, but the solu
tion we have found in the Souta will
be the basis of our work here.
