Without any preliminaries the House today resumed consideration of? the tariff MIL' A on yesterday, th early morning . attendance of members was small and there was an apparent In difference exhibited to the discussion. Taffs Democratic Doctrine. -Quoting from a speech by President Taft that the primary purpose of a tariff was that more, revenue: may be provided ; tor the government Mr. Brantley. f Georgia, declared ; this to be true Democratic doctrine. - The Payne bill.' however, he said. Owing to the seclusion and . secrecy under which It was framed, carried on Its face the. stamp .of Insincerity so. far aa It purpose to provide revenue for the government was concerned. The primary purpose of the bill.- he con tended, was not revenue, but the main 1 tenance of the true Republican theory of protection." ; .- - ' Mr. Brantley laid the- present deficit at the door of what he charged was Republican extravagance.- - In the opinion of 'Mr. Brantley, the Dtngtey tariff on sawed lumber- of S2 a thous and was not prohibitory, but a revenue rate. He attacked the cotton sched ule on the ground that H was solely In the interest of th Mew England manufacturer; r ,,; Mr. Rothermel (Pennsylvania), in a brief but vigorous speech - favoring a reduction on wood pulp and print peper -severely arralrnei the GoulJ Feper Coir-jasy, end-i- Continen ' .rim quoieu from testimony from representative of thoae companies - under oath - be fore tha Mann committee, in which K was stated they knew of no agreement or understanding among - them fixing prices, and yet, he said both com panies ' pleaded guilty to Indictment charging them ..with unlawful com bination in restraint of trad' during th period, beginning September.

Mr. .Rothermel ' - maintained : that ao long as th fine "ware so small it would result in, placing a premium on wrong doing . and also be considered a good Investment on th part of th lawbreaker. -.--- ,-"'-'''.;. Mann Justifies His Report. -The provision, of :the . Payne bill widening th scope of the draw back system, . was supported by Mr. Lev ering (Mass.) He took lasue with Mr. Underwood (Ala.) on-th subject and denied that such a " law - operated against the American laboring man.- Standing - behind a table loaded down with alt sorts of exhibits show in a- th various suae of making wood pulp and paper. Mr.-Mann (Ills.) dis cussed the recommendation of tne pulp and paper committee, of which he was chairman, "for a reduction of the dutv on wood pulp and paper, and which recommendation the Way and Means Committee adopted. Mr. M&nn said that th-committee in th face of th impending campaign last summer, when It might have been claimed : thaf a repoVt from the com mltte favoring .reducing the tariff would have been of tn estimable benefit to. th RpnM4enav. declined "to be Influenced by the newspaper clamor in. favor of a 'reduction of the tariff. In It final report he -decUr-o-t also that the committee declined to.be Un duty influenced by the demand of the manufacturers. It was bin.; Just f f him to say. he v. remarked, that not only -himself but he other members of the committeeia making their re port acted according to what they be lieved was right "uninfluenced by thf demands of the newspaper on the tip hand or bv the demands or the manu facturers on the other." . Whether the report - was right or wrong he said the committee did what it promised to oe and tnat wa- -to make? a report according to the light it received according ' to its oct it honest Judgment" : - - - 1 Urges Reduction on Palp. Discussing th -various procesxst for making pulp. Mr. Mann said that th whole theorv of cheap paper depend Ved upon cheapness of the ground wood and of the . supply yr spruce wood. Reading from official Matls tics, Mr. Mann - said a fair eitlmte was that there were 16,000,001. aces east of the Mississippi, carrying 33 billion feet of spruce timber, but ne declared, that if the use of apruse timber for lumber or wood mi'o aerej to be confined to the domestic ruopi It wpuld last only ten to fifteen years. By natural reproduction, he Attend ed, a forest could not ha re'!nlhae In ten or twenty years. to attain growth of ten Inches, he raid, would require ?S to 100 Tear. Four Inch was the usual diameter that contracts called for. hut the mills had een s? anxious to get spruce wood that thev bad been compelled to get It jf eiuch mal'er else. If. he argued, tha united States was to have cheap pauer In the future, the question was wh-r wool" the srruce come from and he oointtd out that the reduction of the duty on mechanically ground wood pulp would bring the desred relief. - - ; -In conclusion. Mr. Maan said rtha the puln and paper schedule or the Payne bill would not lnmre a single mill la th united 8tate: would no transfer the manufacturing Industry o Csnada; would treat Canada fairly: would rive to the Canadian forests an opportunity -for being used by the American manufacturer under fair conditions, and would give the Cans dlrn paper and pulp mills a better market " v. PrVt Defends Lumber Tariff. Defending he luAiher industry of his SUte Mr. PuH (Dem. Louisiana fro tented against any reduction in the duy on lumber. . H argued that such ductlon as was - proposed In the Payne bill would 'accomplish a great km to the wage earner tn he lumber hiduatry and were lumber to be placed n the free list that loss would reach 1 3.000,000 annually. Mr, Pu.'o declared that he was not nlne In his viewa He had been, he aid, petitioned by the laborers of hi dltrict to stand firm 'against any re duction In the duty. "For that rea son if. for no other ,t" he exclaimed. "J am opposed to placing lumber on the free bst and I am opposed to reduc ing the duty on lumher. The rice schedule also Was discussed by Mr. Pujo. who protested again free trade with the PhlMpplne Islands Should opportunity offer, he said, he would press an amendment providing for : the same duty on rice from the Philippine as elsewhere. He attacked the inheritance tax feature of the Payne bill and argued In its stead th! Imposition of an income tax. Mr. Ijarrlnaga. commissioner from Porto Rico, made a plea for a tax on Porto Rlcan coffee. ' Mr. Thomas Speaks. DeTendlng hi party against the charge that It stood for free trade. Mr. Thomas (N. C) explained that It was for a tariff, that would produce revenue for the needs ot the govern ment economically administered. He Insisted that the . reductions In the Payne bill were more pretended than real, and more , In the- interest of the manufacturer and;, protected Interests than the interest of the consumer. It was an pnurt discrimination agatnst North Carolina, h declared, to reduce the tariff on lumber and mica. ! In tne opinion of Mr. Thomas the lumber Industry aeemed tq have been made a special 'target- for reduction. while others, he said, had, been pro teeted to the fullest-extent Hl ob jection to repealing th existing-tariff was based on tne ground tnat u was ti Don a revenue- basis and -to take It off would In no way benefit the con sumer.' : -.

Koracthing About the ew Plant. The hydro-electric power plant of the Carolina Power and L4ght Com pany from which the electric power turned on in this city yesteruay u transmitted, is situated on the Cape Fear river, six miles below the con fluence of the Haw and deep rivers, -nd eight miles from the Seaboard Air Line railroad at Moncure, from which place the power house i reached by motor boat operated by the. company. Thla development is designed and constructed on a large scale, and is characterised throughout by Its per manent and solid construction. The main dam Is nearly one-third of a mile in length and twenty feet high, and is of solid concrete throughout Its entire length. The water Is con i wiied at this dam In 'Its passage to the canal by large head gates, which are operated by electric motor a From hese head gates the water 1 con ducted to the foreboy at the power house, a distance of nearly 6,000 feet, by th canal Just mentioned, which ollows along the bank of the river and In which the water is retained by a broad earth fill. The power house and dam at fore bay are of solid concrete throughout and have the appearance of being as solid as the bed rock Itself. The power house contains three main generating units each of 1.496 horse power capacity, and consisting of 2.600 volt - alternating current generators coupled direct to twin turbins water wheels of the most approved type. The speed of the water wheels is main tained constantly even under all con ditions of load by the latest type of water wheel governors. . The current is passed at 1,500 volts limnrh the switchboard where it is accurately , measured - . and thence through oil switches by which It is controlled, to the transformer house, also of concrete. Here by the use of powerful transformer It is stepped &p to 60,000 volts and -distributed, to le transmission lines leading .to -the cities of the surrounding country. '. One transmission - line - built on wooden pole extend to. FayettevlU'e, a distance of thirty-five mile, where four large cotton , mills are : supplied with power and lights. , Another line, also On wooden poles, extends twelve miles to Sanford and Jonesboro where two large cotton mills are supplied, and oower and ' lights furnished for all purposes In these elUes. -- The third transmission line; frony this plant Is the one Just completed to Raleigh, a distance of t wen ty -alx . mile. . and which' is built on a. much more elab orate plan throughout This line is carried on forty-five and sixty foot steel towers snaced from 400 to 1.300 feet apart, this spacing being deter mined by the contonr of the underly ing country These towers iand ' all accessories are thoroughly galvanised in eevry part, and will last A lifetime. After thi. line-; enters within the lim it of the city jt is carried on 6 to SO foot steel pole set In huge con crete bases.' and - designed to - easily Withstand the- severest climatic con ditions. This .Use ha been designed and constructed , with great care, and is, the mbodlnwat of the, very latest AVer's SarsaparCa is a tonic 14 not a drop of alcohol in it.

This nowt-r as It reaches Raleigh at 60. volts Is brought Into the sub-station In the city where in f reproof compartment It is stepped down by more transformers to J.SOO voits at which potential it passes hrough the switchboard from where It in distributed to the various parts of the city to serve for street railway power, and lighting purposes. There are at present connected to the power Mnes of the company in the city three large cotton mills, and a multitude of smaller industries. Ths suh-stsiion contains a strictly up-to-date steam turbine generating .auipment which the company will hold In reserve for emergency use In case of possible dlsa bill' y of uny part f the hydro-electric generating or transmission system.
