"The continuation of the old mfrrhfd of tariff construction has be- come a national scandal, unjust alike to consumer and producer, unfair to labor, and destructive of the peace to which legitimate business la en- titled. Therefore the Progressi/e party offers its plan of an effective tariff commission. "Asked to choose between extor- tion on the one hand and injury to in- dustry on the other I, as a member of the Progressive party, believe that In the consideration of this lull, if oppor- tunity be offered, support should be given to any proposition, whatever Its origin, effecting a reasonable re- duction of a duty obviously execes- eive; but that support should not- be given to radical reductions offered wholesale and not founded In reason or on adequate information and pre- sented in an omnibus bill." Quotes Senator Bristow. 1 wish to quote Just one other mem- be# of congress on the Underwood bill, to the Wll. "This bill. In my opinion, is law. It has all of the Iniquities of the Canadian reciprocity1 act which passed the last congress and was ro- ot its few and doubtful merits. It is not drawn from the standpoint of protec- tion because it Will break down a number of legitimately protected in- dustries; it is not a tariff for revenue and other most important revenue-pro- is not consistent with the theory of free trade because It places a high protective duty on a number of prod-. ucta. It has the evils of every one Of the tariff systems suggested and the virtues of none, The placing of wool on the free list and the retaining; of a comfortable duty for the manufac- turers of woolen goods is done upon the policy of free raw terials, yet at the same time tola Bill places a duty en the hair of the An- gora goat; which la a raw material in exactly the same manner aa is wooL Why the goat should be treated with more consideration than the Sheep has not been explained, except that it is alleged that large numbers Of these goats happen to live to a sec- tion of the country which is strongly represented on the ways and means committee of the house. Duty en Cattle. "It puts a protective duty on wheat and cattle and at the same time places flour and meats in the free list This to protection for raw ma- terials ana free trade for the finished products, exactly the reverse of the policy aa to wool. This apparently J* for the political purpose of telling the farmer that it protects his protects, and also deda«i« to tbelaboriagaaah in the industrial centers that the flour from which his loaf of bread Is made and the meats served upon his table are no longer taxed. It places a large number of steel products on the free list and at the same time increases very largely ifte duty on ferraman- ganeae, a necessary ingredient of steel, and the production of which in the United States is controlled abso- lutely by the Steel Trust It thereby strengthens the grip of that great cor- poration upon the steel Industry of our country. It places low duties on the high-priced cotton goods made in New ^gti*1^ and high duties on the cheap^ootton goods manufactured In the sottfh! "These are only a few of the grow and indefensible provisions of this hill, and I trust that the committee on fi- nance will see fit to take them out be- fore they report it back to the sen- ate. The bill should be so written as to preserve the prosperity of Amer- ican industries and at the same time take out of the present tariff law the provisions concerning which tte American people have made such Just complaint Such a course is entirely practicable and consistent, and th-j best interests of our people demand that it be followed. Next week I want to write you again on this subject . It will be my last letter on the Underwood bill, and to it I wish to tell you a little about how the bill was prepared and how it was considered.
