States to take possession OF the Panams
canal.
Mr.. Hiscock replied to Messrs. Seymour.
Cox aud Dorsheimer in capital speech.
which provoked many cries of dissent
from the Democratic side. He said that
they had again onunciated the old Demo
cratic doctrine that this was nation OF
farmers. aud he understood that that doc
trine is to control the policy OF the in
coming Administration. The responses
have come 10 it already from Pittsburg,
from New York, and before this Congress
shall adjourn they will be received from
other manufacturing a7d commercial cen.
ters. The Development OF the argicul-
tural resources Of India and Australia, he
said, is not due to the American tariff
policy; in any event, the United States
would have to compete with these coun-
tries and home market for her own agri

Mr.. Dorsheimcr again took the floor.
