Paragraph by paragraph, he, assailed tho measure, while the republicans with loud roars of "noes" sent his propose! amendments down to defeat. A few republicans supported him In his .attack, but a score of his own party turned from their traditional stand against a high tariff to Jo'.n the majority. Opposition speakers charged that the measure wouM send the cost f living higher, and branded it as class legislation. Defenders of th bill, on the other hand, said It would savo the agricultural industry. Chairman Fordney, of tho ways and means committee, wlrich reported the measure, in opening debate declared tho nreasure was not scientific and admitted it was h.istily drawn, hut asserted it was the best that could be had at this time. Rep. darner, democrat, Texas, speaking in support of the bill, said he felt it w.'ts th- only way in which congress could exteml tho relief so urgently needed by the farmers. Rep. Madden, republican, Illinois, however, .assailed his colleagues for "opening the way to .a renewal of prohibitive living costs." Pointing his finger at the majority, leaders' desk, he said: "You men w.ll make two lamb chops cost $1.30 again and you will make our suit. of clothes cost 100 percent more." Sees Party Split. Rep.
