Nor do yet suppose it was an issue
in the state Of New York. The late ST.
las Wright. the first favorite Of the state,
had voted for it. He was brought for
ward by the Democracy for the first Office
in the state in 1914. and was elected. [
can hardly think the Democracy much
denounced that tariff while enthusiastic
cally supporting its ablest advocate. Sir,
the Senator must remember The Is Kane
letter" Tha, tells the whole tale. II
was not intended to be an issue where
that letter was most circulated. Sir, let
me remark as 10 that tariff. before il WIS
passed. the ship Of state was aground,
the national fisc was paraly zed; this vast
country, with It's vast resources. was as
powerless as stranded whale; the ennis
saries Of an exhausted hungry treasury
were hawking its credit at every money
counter in America and in Europe; they
were renuised e,nnty.h handed with ron.
