retention of the mckinley duty W was an unanswerable one and complimented nien ed him blin upon the ability displayed he eald that the action of the senate committee was indefensible from any standpoint either cither from that of free trade or protection and he could not under understand strind the basis of the argument of senator dubois that fairness had been shown by the democrats in their treatment of the lead industry sell senator had tor dubols dubois replied stating that they had been trying for ten years to get sampling nt bt the ille port of entry and had never gotten it until today to day and that he be proposed to acknowledge the generosity and courtesy which had liven it mining men admit that fair sampling Is worth a cent a 8 pound in duties and labile the
