SAYS CLEVELAND ‘UNMADE’ PARTY

Bailey Hakes This Statement In United States Senate. during tariff discussion Amendment Placing Lumber on the Free List Is Defeated—Vote Is 56-25. Texan Declares He Does Not Propose to Be Bound by the Platform Adopted by the Democrats at Denver—. Repudiates the Doctrine That All Raw Material Ought to Be Exempt From Duty. Washington, May 25. —The lumber schedule of the tariff bill was under consideration in the senate with Senators Root, Heyburn, Borah and Dolliver contending on the one hand for a protection for the industry, and Senators Clapp, Burkett and McCumber arguing as strenuously against that policy. The debate closed with more than a two-thirds vote against Senator MeCumber’s free lumber amendment, the ballot showing 25 for and 56 against. During the discussion Senator Bailey declared that he did not propose to be bound by the platform adopted by the Democrats at Denver. Bailey expressed the opinion that enactment of the pending tariff bill would see the disintegration of the Republican party. Addressing Bailey, Senator Aldrich asked: “Since when has the doctrine of free raw material ceased to be a Democratic doctrine,” “Since men like I have come into power in the Democratic party,’’ replied Bailey. Aldrich insisted that Grover Cleveland and every other man conspicuous in the Democratic party had advocated the policy of free raw material. He also said thes. were the men who made the Democratic party great. Bailey replied that they had “unmade” it.
