Watson and Walsh Give Party Views of Tariff WASHINGTON, June 27.—The McCumber tariff is designed to protect American labor against lowering of wage scales—this is the contention of Republican Senate leaders. It will do nothing but increase prices—this is the claim of Democratic opponents. The United Press obtained today two comparative outlines of the views of the opposing parties in exclusive signed articles by respective leaders.

BY SENATOR JAMES E. WATSON. Republican Advocate of Tariff.) The whole question of the tariff is one of wages. If workmen engaged in any industry in our country are willing to take the same rate of wages as the workmen engaged in the same industry in any other country we can adjust ourselves to the new conditions and proceed to business. Capital requires no protection save to enable it to pay American wages, but the man who has nothing to sell, but his brawn and his muscle is entitled to the best market in the world for them. American wages are the highest in the world because they have been systematically built up over a course of years by the operation of the protective tariff system.

GERMANY IN FEAR OF PLOT BT ROYALISTS Situation Critical After Rathenau Murder in Capital City. POLICE WATCH MEETINGS Liberals Stirred to Act in Opposition to Conspirators. AMSTERDAM, .June 27.—Herr Von Haniel will succeed Walter Rathenau as German foreign minister, according to reports reaching here today. By United Press BERLIN, June 27.—Germany was faced today with the critical aftermath of the murder of Walter Rathenau. A great general strike was declared In Berlin on the occasion of the late foriegn minister s funeral. Trains throughout the country stopped their wheels for two minutes at noon in honor of Rathenau’s mem ory. Communists and Socialists held great meetings in the larger cities, closely watched by the police and troops, who were called out in full force to prevent possible disorders. It was learned that further and more serious damages are planned for tomorrow, both by' Communists and Royalists, on the occasion of the anniversary of signing of the Versailles treaty. . Stop Pan-German Meetings The government, struggling to preserve order, has demanded that panGerman meetings be abandoned Royalist plotting, constant throughout Germany since the revolution, has been carried on openly recently. The assassination of Rathenau put an end to this, temporarily at least. It caused a tremendous revulsion of feeling and stirred Liberals to active opposition. Former Kaiser Wilhelm has been kept constantly Informed of these royalist activities. It is not the intention of pan-Germans to restore the kaiser to the throne, however. Ten members of a secret organization which was suspected of being responsible for the assassination of Erzberger are under arrest in connecwith the murder of Rathenau. A lieutenant, Karl Tillesen, whose brother is supposed to have taken part In the attack upon Erzberger, also Is under arrest at Frankfort. A Captain Hoffman, another suspect, is held. Ten Members Being Held The funeral of Rathenau, attended by the entire government and many members of the diplomatic corps, started from the Rcichtag building where the body was placed upon a bier and drawn through the streets. Berlin was in deep mourning.

Morris St., was fined SSO and costs and Don C. Ditmcr, 821 Jefferson St., SIOO and costs.

BY SENATOR DAVID I. WALSH, (Democratic Opponent of the Tariff.) The purpose of levying protective tariff duties is to increase prices. The pending bill is an abandonment of all previous Republican theories of protection. The appetite for big profits and high prices, which was cultivated during the war and met with a ret back during the recent depression, must be satiated. Thq result is that Congress has been besieged with requests for high protective duties in order that war prices he maintained and profiteering continued. To these demands ‘Congress has surrendered. A special raid has been made by protectionists in the penctf.ig bill on foodstuffs. They insist that what we must eat if we are to live shall be given higher duties, which means, of course, higher prices and more profits sos the food producers.
