(BpkUI Lmm4 WIi Washington, Sept. 5. Senator Sim mons, chairman of the Finance Core Biittee, in aupport of the revenue bill, today taid if the Puyne-Aldrieh art sad been in effect during the fiscal year 1914 the revenue under it would have amounted to t268J!4,000, while the actual revenue under the present law waa 211,868,000. Mr. Simmons pointed out that that had the PaynfcAldrich rates been ap plied to the importations of 1916 the iacrees la retaue would b only to.t98.0p0. which would leave over $300,000,000 of the cost of prepared- B(ti unprovided for. ,,,vt ,wwkTlx, The chairman of the Finance Com mittee reminded the Republicans of the Senate that their party stands for spe cial interests, and that high tariff duties means big profits to manufacturers but Increases the cost cf living to the aver ace man. "The Republican party today, as ia the past," said Mr. Bimmona, "is the special representative in legislation and ia government of the so-called special interests. The disaster which that party suffered ia the election of 1912 has not weaned It from this odious copartner ship. Events now transpiring make it clear that if that party is restored to power thia. old opartnersbjp will not only continue but the alliance will be even more 'strongly knit together than In the past. . Kaewa A I a visible Government. "This alliance, while that party was in power, constituted what came to be known throughout the country aa the invisible government. "These interests wrote our tariff laws; they wrote our financial lawa and con trolled our financial policies. The Re ouhlican party could deny them noth ing which they demanded and could do nothing which they opposed. Our legis lation became a system of special privi leges snd governmental favors to ths privileged classes. They demanded that they Me - protected - -front-competition from abroad snd that they be permitted to protect themselves against compe tition at home and it was granted. At " their flirtation' the' financial s.i stem had been built up which placed the money of the country in the hands of a few great financiers, who matle money plen tiful or scarce as their selfish interests required. The people's, interests were forgotten or considered,' of minor or secondary importance. "When this exploitation of the peo ple through the agency of the Repub lican party had reached a point where it became unbearable the protest against the party became so strong that its candidate for President in 1912 carried only two small States in the Union. A Democratic President and Congress were elected upon the promise to put an end' to these outrage, abusea and usurpations and to re-establish the gov ernment by the people and for the people. - Ended By Democrat. "The Democratic party, in response to. thia demand of the people, has put aa end to the shameful prostitution of governmental functions. The special interests no longer control - the White House or the halls of Congress. They no longer dictate or control our eco nomic, fiscal or commercial policy. Their special privileges have been taken away from them. The rule of the people has been restored. "But for the power and influence and almost ezhaustleaa resources of these greet special interests which the Demo era tie party in 1912 unhorsed and has since, stripped them of ttieir special privileges, the crushing defeat then ad ministered to the Republican party, would have eliminated it as a factor ia the coming election and the contest this year would be between the Democratic and Progressive parties." Senator Bimmona declared that the special' interests are making a mat des perate effort to regain the power wrested--from them by the Democrats. He charged that they rallied around the Old Guard and nominated Mr. AX U a ill m wo-b-. wbj (tvimvh wa, oasw Bull Moose party. -r Thes special interests," said Mr. Bimmona, "fight for the privilege of ex ploiting at will 100.000.000 people for their selfish ambition and greed. Their pocketbooks Are - widr opesr to regain these" lost privileges and it is for' the purpose of making the purchase safe that the" Republicans ia Congress- have nnouneed their determination and par pose to defeat the corrupt practices act and give them a free hand .by the elec tion and to again install themselves ia their old positions of dictation at ths White Hones and ia Congress. , G.ar.
