PLEA FOR SOUTH MADE BY BAILEY

Discriminations In Jariff Measure, He Charges. AN ATTACK BY DOLLIVER Senator Declares That When the Upper House Concludes Its Work the Payne Bill Will Be So Nearly Like the Dingley Law That Many Men Will Wonder What Was the Extraordinary Occasion That Called the National Legislators to Washington. Washington, April 23. —During the tariff bill discussion in the senate, Senator Bailey said: “The president wastes his time and wastes his breath when he gives heed to those men who tell him that they can disrupt the south. There Is in the south today, as there was before the war, a sentiment that Is not Democratic. In the older times they were Whigs and in this day they are Republicans. But some of them are ashamed of their associates down there. "At the same time this bill is full of sectional discriminations. The farmers' binding twine Is placed on the free list, but in this very same bill the bag

ging of the cotton planter is highly protected If you want to find a way to the hearts of our people of the south, do not treat them unjustly.” Senator Dolliver said: “While it may be that there are only a few increases and quite a large number of reductions in this bill, I venture to say when we are through with it it will be so nearly like the Dingley law' tuat many men will wonder what was the extraordinary occasion that called us here.” TALKING OVER THE TARIFF Economists and Legislators Discuss Subject at New York Meeting.
