In his speech Senator Bovorldgo
scored: the tariff bill. Ho said lu

Is unjust to American laborers; more
than that is unjust to American con

"Injustice is tho only foo that pro

changed conditions and securo jus

"Like Pre. ldont Taft, I wanted
free iron oic, of which wo have tho

I would not stand for tho d".ty that
iraa proposed and passed, and I can
aot stand for It now.
Wanted Free Lumber.
"Like President Taft, I wanted free
lumber, out of which tho homes of
the people aro built. I could not
stand foi tho duty proposed nnd pass
ed on lumber, and I cannot stand for
it now.
"Like President Taft I wanted tho
rodent woolen schedule reduced a
schedule which, it over right, long
xlnco has eeived its purpose and
which now elves to tho woolen trusts
as unfair control of our market. I
stood asainst that schedule when wo
tried to reduce It when the bill was
gassed, and I' am against It now.
"It Is sail that the law 'has made
reductions oa articles entering Into

"When I livToduccd tho tariff com

felt that it was Impossible to get n

theory of getting tho best I could,
Mino was a fatal faith. For what
was tho reimttf I drew the provision
nuthorUlng tho president to appoint
persons wltlufull power to malto tar

Senator Aldrich would not agroo to
all of It. Ho struck out or changed
vital language. Yet what remained of
my provision cavo to theoo persons
broad powers to gather necessary

"Wo asked for a reality of tho law,
they gavo us a mockery. Wo asked
for power, thoy gavo us palsy. Wo
asked for bread; they gavo us a

'Compromise on purely economic de

Judge McCredie, as he resumed hi.s

they think we do not need nutomo

iare younger men, ns a rule, than the
senators, nnd being spryer, can walk.
Oh, walking does us good, of course,
but every timo I make the trip either
