CLAW TALKS ON TARIFF
Minnesota Senator Says the Repub
lican Party Should Carry Out Its
Platform Pledges and Orant Relief
Demanded or Democrats Would Be
Put in a Position to Ot the Work
Two Years Hence.
Washington, May 8.—The session of
the senate was begun with a speech
by Senator Clapp of Minnesota, who
commented upon the policy of protec
tion and referred to distinctions be
tween a protective tariff and a tariff
tor revenue only.
Mr. Clapp declared that instead of
congress taking up the work of a
complete revision of the customs du
ties it should have taken one sched
ule at a time, in which event there
would not have been the great excite
ment and the opposition that exists
when all the tariff schedules are taken
up for consideration. The effective
Elkins law he instanced as having
been passed with little popular atten
tion, while the last railroad rate leg
islation, he declared, had met opposi
tion because agitation had excited the
public mind and caused a widespread
opposition and predictions of danger
to the interests affected. So the pres
ent tariff opposition, he said, had
been provoked by widespread agita
tion, whereas had the schedules been
taken up separately revision could
more easily have been accomplished.
The promise of the Republican
party, Mr. Clapp declared, was that
the tariff should be revised downward,
and he asserted that this promise had
been made in response to a positive
demand. He said that the position on
the part of the protective interests
was that "we should let well enough
alone and on the part of the con
sumers that the tariff should be re
vised."
Present Procedure a Farce.
You can't tell me," he said, "that
the latte** demand did not mean that
the tariff should be revised downward
To take any other position is mere
boy's play, nothing less than a farce,
and if I did not believe the duties
were to be lowered in response to this
exaction 1 would pack my grip and go
home, for, as a senator, I am not re
quired to participate in such a farce
as the mere re-enactment of the Ding
ley rates. The people understood thai
we were to have a revision downward
the men who made the platform un
derstood it we understand it every
body understood it and no amount of
sophistry can otherwise explain the
popular demand and the party prom
ise
"If this promise," he said, "was for
a revision that would mean the main
tenance of the DIngley rates then we
are confronted by the ridiculousness
of the chief executive calling congress
together to revise something that
should stand unchanged until the end
of time. When the people made the
demand for a tariff revision down
ward there was no suggestion that
these industries were not sufficiently
protected. If the demand for revision
did not mean changing the duties
downward it did not mean anything
and we are indulging in a farce now."
Declaring that if congress should
fall now to lower the tariff rates the
Democratic party would be put in
position to so revise it two years
hence Mr. Clapp said he did not wish
to use threats, but merely to tell the
truth.

HIS ONCE IMMENSE
FORTUNE WIPED OUT
Charles
W.
Morse Declares Be
Is Absolutely Bankrupt
New York, May 8.—Charles W.
Morse, the former banker, who Is
now in the Tombs prison under sen
tence for violation of the national
banking laws, has not a share ol
stock, a bond or a piece of real estate
left of his fortune of an estimated
value of $30,000,flOO, according to evi
dence which he gave in supplementary
proceedings just made public.
Morse was at one time one of the
largest holders of securities of the
$00,000,000 Consolidated Steamship
company and controlled three nation
al banks. He testified in the supple
mentary proceedings that he had
given all his property to creditors to
secure his debts and declared that he
did not know whether the creditors
had sold him out and asserted If there
was any surplus derived from such
sales it would only go to other cred
itors who have obtained judgments
against him and that he personally
would receive none of the proceeds of
ths sales.
Mr. Morse said that no member ol
his family had any property in which
he was interested that he had no
claims against anybody: that he never
loaned money personally and that
never kept a set of books.
