That tho Payno bill was filled with riotous lm jxirfectlon designed to cover up Uio cxtravflgances of tho Republican ad ministration; that it did not redeem party plodges, and that it sounded tho death knell of tha dominant party, were somo of the criticism passed upon tho moasure by tho Democrats in tho houso today. An Interesting featuro of the debato was tho speech of Pablo Oeampo do Leon, tho Filipino commissioner, who attacked Uiu provision for froo trade with tho Philippine Islands. From tho far South exactly opposite views were expressed regarding pro tection, Itansdali, of Louisiana, plead ing for It on behalf of tho Industries of his state, whllo Splght, of Missis sippi, and Clayton, of Alabama, want ed free lumber, free hides, free boots and shoes, froo bagging and free cot ton ties. From tho Republicans cams tho sug gestions of a permanent tariff commis sion, and nono scorned entirely satis fied with Uio bill. Thursday, April I. Washington. April 1. General do- bate on the tariff was continued in the houso of representatives today and to night. Tho Paynn bill came In for its usual condemnation as n pretext and shorn. Gaines, of West Virginia, and McCall, of Massachusetts, both mem bers of the ways and means commltteo, defended tho measure, although the Massachusetts member wsnted some thing specific In it regarding tho courso to bo pursued toward the Philippines. Tho anticipated action regarding the fixing of a timo for closing Uio debato was not taken, In view of tha complex situation In which the Republican lead ers found themselves. Tho mothod of preparation, consider ation and probable passage of tho bill was Uio basis of a speech by Do Ar tnond, of Missouri. Good judgment, fairness and pstriottsm should bo made the basis of tho formation of a tariff law, ho said, not mere partisanship. Tho Payne bill, ho declared, should havo bom conslderd by tho ways and means committee and not by tho Re publican members alone. The whole question now In tho minds of those who havo presumed to tako charge of affairs In the house, ho asserted, was not how to improve the bill, but how to get tha bill through with the least change by tho "dangerous common ers," Uio members of tho house. Wednesday, March 31. Washington, March 31. Debsto on tho Payne tariff bill today again turned largely on tho lumber industry, with especial referenco in ono case to wood pulp, the schedule on which was cham pioned by Mann, of Illinois, chairman of tho special commission on the paper Industry. There wero attacks on free coal, freo hides and free trade with Uio Philippines, and the cry for protection to special Industries was as loud from Southern Democrats as from Northern Republican. Morgan, of Missouri, urged protec tion for tho zinc Industry. Drsntley, of Georgia, said tho prime purpose of the bill whs not to ralso revenue, as President Taf t had urged, but to main tain protection. He would vote to re store tho $2 rate on lumber. Douglas, of Ohio, condemned tho countervailing duty on coffee. Rothermel, of Pennsylvanis, favored lower duties on paper and wood pulp and scored tho paper trust. Mondell opposed froo coal, free hides and tho reduction on wool. Mann made an elaborate argument for free wood pulp and lower duties on psper. Pujs, Democrat, of Louisiana, pro tested against reduced lumber duties and freo trade with tho Philippine nnd ald ho would move for n duty on Phillppino rico. Gricst, of Pennsylvania, opposed freo Import of Phillppino tobacco. Tuesday, March 30. Washington, March 30. Tho tariff debato waxed warm In tho houso today. A rovival of tho discussion of oil nnd lumber schedules was Ilka sotting a match to both products, for the subjects proved of absorbing interest to tho members, who entered generally Into tho debato. Vreeland, N. Y., Kltchln, N. C, Dies, Tox., Graham nnd Burke, Pa., wero the main speakers of the day. McKinloy, California, said he believ ed tho Payno bill, which admits 300, 000 tons of Phillppino sugar to tho United States freo of duty, la n wise ono. Tho action of the commltteo In re moving tho duty on hides was disap proved by Sterling, of Illinois. Weiss, Wisconsin, replied that tho 15 per cent duty so discriminated against tho American tnnnor nnd lenthor manu facturer thnt they lost llvo dollars' worth of business on evory hide, and la bor loses a dollar nnd a half on n day's work, . Byrd, Missouri, advocated tho free admission of lumbor. Monday, March 20. Wahlngton, March 20. Tho tariff question wss again discussed in tho houso today. Not ono of tho many speakers favored tho Payno bill en tirely, whllo the Democrats found much in it to criticize. Tho maxi mum and minimum features. of the pro posed measuro wero especially obnox ious to thorn. Republicans urged high er duties on lumber, Iron, pottery and zinc ore, as well as a duty on coal, Cushman of Washington, tho new Republican member of the committee on ways and means, pleaded for better protection to American lumber and for duty on coal. Devoting hi remarks largely to a discussion of the led and wool sched ules, Hsmer of Idaho discussed the tariff from the Western standpoint. He declared the proposed provision to permit tho entry from the Philippines, free of duty, of 300,000 tons of sugar, establishes a bad precedent, and de clared that tho proposed tariff reform my man freo lumber, which, ha said, would be a concession to a cult of so- called political philosophers, but would not mean a dollar reduction to the con sumer. Scott of Kansas declared lumber should be put upon tho freo list, and that tho duty on hides ought to be re stored. Sisson of Mississippi attacked the wool schodule, offering figures to show that tho American consumer pays twice as much lor wool goods as tie would if thero were no tariff. Washington, March 29. Objection was made by Halo that the finance com mittee was holding dally sessions on tho tariff bill. Tho criticism camo Irom Bscon, who referred to the fact that tho Democratic members pf Uio committee wero excluded. Joining tho Democrats In their pro teits against tho msnner in which tho tariff bill was being managed, El- kins, of West Virginia, declared him self and his state to bo of the South, tho interests of which, ho said, were being "crucified." Gore, in a sarcastic speech, ssid the Democrats had been given 14 minutes In which to examino tho bill beforo voting on It In committee. Saturday, March 27. Washington., March 27. Debate on Ui tariff bill In the house today was largely devoted to an academic discus sion of the question and tho political Issues Involved, although Gardner of Massachusetts thorougly reviewed tho question of free hides and n tariff on leather goods. Longworth of Ohio and Harrision of New York, tho Demo cratic members of tho ways and means committee, woro tho only representa tives of Uio tariff framing commltteo who mado speeches.
