Mr.. FOOTE would like 10 ask the Senator. a question:
if he would allow wish to know if he did not under
stand that the tariff Of 1912 Wing and,
condy if he believes that the Wings in two years discarded
their former doctrine =
Mr.. MANGUM As to the first question: whether the
Wings voted for the tariff Of AZ think they did gene
rally. But not regularly formed bll il uunca
ted And the second question say do not think that
their doctrines underwent any change but the contrary,
that they steadas and firm in their principles regard
to this subject. What meant and what mean, have al
ready indicated is that this PLATFORM gravey exhibited
is unworthy Of respects if it be not mschievous at least
ridiculous putting forth nothing that sensible will
seriously conrovert II have the merit of meeting the
universal acceptance, has not the dignity of provoking the
slightest serious opposition.
Mr.. FOOTE wish to state fact, il the Senator will
allow me- and he does not wish TO deal unfairly
with u.s. that il he will consult the National Inelgencer and
all the leading Wing papers for the year 1914. he will lind

Senator from Massachusetts, and the distinguished Senator

of the Wing principles, Henry Clay himself in 1874 the
issue between the two great political parties whether the
tariff Of AZ should be retained Now, the question
desire put Does he does he recognise the tariff of
AZ regularly agreed upon Of the great Wing
party Of that period II he amatively, then
have only that as the two parties harmonized in 1884,
great change have taken place in the Whig party.
There is not now, sure, Wing who dares to speak in
terms Of respect of the tariff Of az.
