Outlining the position of the min
ority, Rrprurniativ» Garrett, of Ten
neeff. acting Denwritif leader, de
c'.»r. d the "Iniquity" of the proposal
"was s'aringly apparent" in view of
the statement .of Representative
Green, of lows. ranking Republican
membcv of the way· and mean· com·,
mlttee, that it woald not iaenase tka
Srito paid U>o faimer for his prodact.
Ir. (Ian ett added that "the only ax
(Urf for the tax waa to enable Repub
lican* to increase the doty nn cotton
goods."
to aay which l> the superlative one,
but certainly the proposition to put
a duty on all raw cotton—when none
Is lmpo'ted and the treasury can de
rive no duty thereby—■« at least as
great as any.
"To bring it immediately home to
thr cotton farmer, a duty on raw cot
ton will give nothing by way of in
crease in pr.ee, but It will be made
the cxruar for laisinit the duty and
therefore the price upon everything
made of cotlun which he has to buy."
In /taming the tariff bills the ways
and means commtitei1 kept raw cotton
on the fiee list—where it waa In the
old Fayne-AIdrich bill. When the Re
publican caucus took the bill In band,
however, a fight led by Southern Be
putlicana was made to tax cotton,

Garrett assei ted that on short staple

competition, for scarcely a bale of

"And now It « pi^.osed, in view of
production end import recn ds," he
«aid. "to impose a duty of 10 per cent
