Kans., July 26—In an address here Unfted States Senator Joseph L. Bristow declared that United’ States Senator Aldrich forced an increase in the eotton tariff schedules .when the bottos manufacturers in this county were not asking for it. Senator charged that the Increases were made for tne purpose bf booming the stock market. “It is interesting to know," declared Senator Bristow, Mt. Aldrfch insisted upon increased cottow duties when the mill owners and manufacturers testified la toe hearings before toe ways and means committee that they were not needed But mi examination of the stock issues at the United States for jthe year a9O? furnishes the reason. | “These increams were not made lor !the protection, of any legitimate manufacturing enterprises in the United '.States,, but to boom the stock market. Last year tjiere were issued 990,000,:000 additional' cotton and woolen 'stocks, >64,000,(MX) that had been previously authorized but not issued, and >26,000.000 of new stocks. How much of this stock represented actual investmeat I am not advised, but under the Impresston that these increased duties on cotton goods and the maintenance of the excessive duty on woolens woelft give' at least a temporary impetus to the business, these stocks found a market, Bo these increases, therefore, driven through by Mr. Aldrich were in toe interest of the stock gamblers and speculators and not tn the interest of legitimate manufacturtfg enterprise The duty on cotton e(KM I, nloM « mor.
