I COTTON SCHEDULE i'hen iha km ii.. v um ic vising me cotton textile goods schedule was before the Caucus I insisted that action should not be taken until the Ways and Means Com mittee also presented bills re vising the iron and steel sche j dule, the duties on dyes and i dye stuffs, rubber belting and sugar, i mougm.it notning out fair that if the duties on cotton goods were to be radically cut and permit additional impor tations from foreign countries of cotton goods, that in order to meet this increased competition the burdens of producing cotton goods by our cotton mills should be lightened. The foreign cot ton mills buy their iron and steel and machinery, dyes and dye stuffs, belting and sugar far cheaper than our cotton mills can buy them, and yet. our mills are expected to compete with those foreign mills which have such big advantages. The Caucus did not take my view on this matter, however, expecting later to revise the various schedules named above, but when the cot ton bill reached the Senate the ' Democrats of that body did add to the cotton bill, the schedules revising iron and steel, dyes and dye stuffs, chemicals, and ma chinery, and an effort was made to tack on to the cotton bill the the revision of the sugar sche dule also, but this effort failed by a small majority." BIG COTTON MILL DISTRICT "I believe there are more cot ton mills in our Congressional District than there are in any district in the United States and I was determined that our mills should not suffer a radical re-; duction on the supplies that the mills and their operatives have to buy." i "I think that we should revise tariffs gradually to a revenue j basis." This will enable manu facturers to adjust themselves to the gradually changed and ; changing conditions without j any violent upsetting of busi-1 . 111 ness. Any other policy wouia bring on a financial cataclysm, which would draw all other business interests in and result in a wide spread panic. "The last democratic platform promised the voters of the coun try that duties would be gradu ally reduced, thus preventing any violent shock to business and I believe this will be the certain policy and program of Mhfl democratic party when it i assumes complete control of both branches of the National Legislature." Mr. Webb says, that he has had reports lately from all over the United States and that a noTT.Arr.it r. President will be elected next year by an unpre cedented majority."
