Senate vesterday afternoon and a continuance of the general discussion of the lead schedule a vote was taken Just before acJouni ment on the item relating to the duty on lead contained in lead ore a vote of 63 to 19 the duty was fixed at 1 1 2 cents a pound the rate provided in the House bill and the same as that hi existing law Two Democrats McEnery of Louisiana and Hughes of Colorado voted with the Republicans who wera united en this item The split among the Republicans which has cropped out during the consideration of the lead schedule will be emphasized today when the Senate takes up the consideration of th3 items covering the rates on pig lead and lead products It Is against these Item i that the low tariff Republicans are aiming their batteries Senate May Stand Pat The Indications are however that the schedules will be agreed to as reporteJ by the finance committee to the Senate and the fate that will befall the lead schedule will be the fate of practically every item In the bill One of the prominent members of the committee stated last evening that a careful canvass of the Senate showed a majority of about twelve with a loss of one or two here and there on schedules involving local interests supporting such action as the finance committee may recommend If this prediction is true there would seem to be very little hope of any real downward revision in the Senate While tWe leaders believe the have the victory won they understand however tbtt it it to a stubborn fightx and that the progressives wfRnot yield un ItU tney have terhi the 1rt ditch A fading senator who voter for the lead schedule 3 esterday laughed heartily at the suggestion tlat It was ln any sen3e an Aldrich victory An Exceptional Case The lead Industry said he is an exceptional one from a tariff point of view on account of the proximity of the rich mines of Mexico right on our borders The fact Js that these mines are largely controlled by powerful interests in this country who would be delghted to close our Western mines for all time This is so generally understood that It has been known by all well Informed people ever since the extra session of Congress began that there was to be no reduction In the lead schedule The real wonder Is that there should have been as many as nineteen votes against it The truth is that a majority of the Western Republicans who voted for maintaining existing rates for lead are the most insistent for substantial revision down ward for industries that no longer need prohibition rates and particularly as to the necessary things of universal use When the schedules embracing those things are put upon their passage and not until then will the real situation In the Senate be revealed Because of this opposition Mr Aldrich and his lieutenants realize that much time is yet to be consumed in what they call an academic discussion of these questions with the inevitable result that the finance committee will win In the final vote 1 Want Early Adjdurnment But Mr Aldrich is not liermitting useless consumption of time if he can avoid it He and his associates want as early an adjournment as possible The sessions after next week are to be longer then will come night sittings and the chairman of the finance committee Is not yet convinced that It will be im possible to have a get away day about he middle ot June Yesterday was peaceful in the Senate Combatlveness was atv a discount Mr Clapp made a speech ln the course of which he criticised those senators who refuse to revise the tariff downward as being disloyal to the partys pledge and warned them that the demands of the country could not be ignored He expressed the fear that IT the Republicans did not respond to what he believed to be the sentiment of tlie country the party would be put out of power Thinks Procedure Wrong Mr Clapp declared that instead agitation whereas had the schedule taken up separately revision coult more Congress taking up the work of a complete revision of the customs duties It should haveaken one schedule jat a time in which event tnere would not have ben the great excitement and the opposition that exists when all the tariff schedules are taken up for consideration The effective Elkins law I13 Instarct as having been passej with little popular attention while the last railroad rate legislation he declared had met opposition because agitation had excited the public mind and caused a wldeaprcd opposition and predictions ot danger to tha interests affected So the present tariff opoosltlon he said had been provoued widespread easily have been accomplished The promise of the Republican party Mr Clapp declased was thai the tralff hould be revised downward and he asserted that this promise had been made In response to a positive denmad He said the position on the part of the protective interests was that we should let well enough alone and on the part of the consumers tnat the tariff should be revised Calls Revision a Farce Tou cant tell me he satdtnat the later demand did not mean that the tadff should be revised downward To take any othe position is nothing less than a farce and I did not believe the duties were to be lowered in response to this exaction I would pack tny grip land go home for as a senator I am not required to participate Jn be mere rcenactment of the Dlngley rates The people understood that vwe were to have a revision downward the men who made the platform understood It wc understod it Everybody understood it and no amount of sophistry can otherwise explain the popular demand and the party promise If this promise he said was for a revision that would mean the maintenance of the Dlngley rates then we are confronted by the ridiculousness of the chief executive calling Congress together to revise something that should stand unchanged until the end of time When the people made the demand for a tariff revision downward there was no suggestion that these industries were not sufficiently protected If the demand for revision did not mean changlnglhe duties downward it did not mean anything and we are indulgig ln a farce ow Warns Republican Patty Declaring that if Congress should fall now to lower the tariff rates the DemocraticDemocratic party wouid be put in position to so revise it two years hence Mr Clapp said he did not wish to use threats but merely to tell the truth The American people he said have determined upon this revision downward and anything else will disappoint them It may be in your power he said as he faced tho Republican senators to act contrary to the wishes of the people but so sure as you do that two years from now this tariff will be revide not bfr the friends of protection but by the enemies of protection The income tax was the subject of an address hv Senafni Ckman I do not agree that the direct tax referrel to in clause A section 9 of the Constitution means a tax on property of the Individual citizen all Its real meaning as shown by its history is a direct tax en the United States to be apportioned on the several States ac coramg to tne plan or apportioning rep resentation in tne constitution The entire matter of the constitutional ity of this tax he declared rested upon tnis provision He reviewed decisions of the Supreme Court and referred to the history of the framing of the Constitu tion to sustain his contention Interprets the Constitution Mr Owen contended that the term di rect taxation as used ln the Constitution did not refer to taxation of individuals but solely to taxes that might be levied on the several tSates by the Unite States the tax to be gathered by th States according to their methods of taxation and apportioned among the States la the same waythat representation was apportioned MAY GO TO ASYLUM Hains
