expressed will would bo carried oat hart received implied recognition in democratic quart era the wilson bill is not what such a measure should be but it I 1 infinitely better than the existing law the bill is here and if enacted it would be the greatest kaep in the direction of reform senators who serve notice on the democratic majority that adhesion to the income tax feature of the pending bill may defeat tariff reform and who point out appalling consequences to the democratic party ol 01 such a defeat must take their warnings to and reflect whether in cuse they decline to act in

senator lindsay malj 1 I have no sympathy with those who attempt to excite prejudice against the rich I 1 know it to be a fact that as a general rule men of wealth are among our most reputable and patriotic citizen and that the unequal and discriminating tariff laws we have lived for thirty years have been found a ready and efficient instrumentality in the hands of men of fortune to inako unhealthy and abnormal additions to thir wealth within the lines of jaw and consistent wl h the highest personal integrity the time baa certainly come when this convenient and efficient instrumentality should be dispensed with and the time will also come when that which the tariff has helped to create ought in fairness to contribute to a mod crate degree to the relief of the struggling poverty against the enhanced prices of the necessaries iea of lie resulting from discriminating indefensible cullom taxation it Is a waste of time to combat the charges that the pending

bill ad reduced the duty on iron and steel 1 boiu the foltiner tariff law and he was aware that the manufacturers had attributed the necessity of a reduction of wages to the reduction of the duties that wa not the real cause of the reduction of which was to be found in the natural desire of manufacturers to reduce agee without respect to the rates of duty in reply to question by aldrich as to whether lindsay subscribed to the doctrine enunciated by mills that coffee tea na sugar should be taxed and the duty on iron and etcel reduced lindsay aid thu he did not think mills voiced the sn

than more amendment may be made to be 11 now I 1 to not intend to commit myself to a bill that I 1 know nothing about if the senator will state abe proposition is to vote on the house bill at an early

aidrich a man could u decide to call a hand the next day always laughter hut a few minutes have transpired replied white and in view of the dignified dilatoriness on that side of the chamber there can
