min Dutterworth created q tremendous
sensation In the House today by making q
red hot tariff reform speech, during lhe
course of which he used tho Mckinley
bill 40 football and gave the chairman
and the Republican members OF the ways
and means committee a druhblng which
they will not forget II they live to bo 40
old as Methuaelah, 'Malor Bulierworlh
has an unfortunate habit OF telling tue
truth AT least agreeable 10 hla liepubll'
can friends, For some time II has been
rmored that he did not like the bill
framed by Mckinley, For this reason
every effort was made TO hIde'lracN him
and he was deliberately shut oul during
the general debate last week. Hut hut
terworth In dangerous man 10 trllle WIN
and when he got the floor today In Ills
own right he fairly made things alazle'
His political aspirations fortho Immediate
future are damponod ana having no star
of ambition 70 attempt him 20
climb on false stops ho was perfectly
FREQ and untrammeled, Aa he stated
In his speech, he would rather resign his
seat than use the aeuryy eyes Of q polite
ian 10 seem 10 see things he did not SOC,
Standing like u towering monument OF
roproof on the Republican side he oour'
agoously denounced the Mckinley bill as
trcachery 20 hoplodgoaof the Republican
party, amIdrnglng cheers from tho Dem
ocrats and dead silence from his political
friends, II was painful TO witness Me-
Klnlcy aud hla Republican associates on
the ways aud means committee While the
ableat Republican In the house delivered
his oxcorlatIng philippe, They sat hud'
died together like condemned criminals
listening to the knoll ofNpproochingdoom
He wanted Republican momberh OF the
ways and means committee 10 distinctly
understand that all Republicans would
not follow m the wake Of the commItteo'H
bill, framed with one purpose In ylow'
The tariff bill was aa much his bantling
aa McKIncy'a, and ho didn't propose TO
rely on figures adduccd 10y Mckinley, and
which we're furnished by the bcnollcorlca
of the protective system, No Industry had
right to have any advantage over any
othcrlnduatry. "That IN my idoO,' ho as
serted, cmphatcnlly, "and,n lao went on
Impotuously, ~ had rather resign my
place on this floor than go u hnirabrchdIh
further. Its with prayorlul ohrnoblneas
that say TO youn shaking his llngor at
Mckinley "that the people understand
why Paul 10 favored and Potter 10 turned
down.
He attacked yicously the proposed duty
ON Tin plate, 10 establish the Tin plate
industry here would cost SJOWOOO0, ond
there was not home, not q family, not u
mouth that would not have TO contribute
lie scored the copper trust "protcelod' IN
the Mckinley bill which had declared
SGO,OOO,OOO dividends on 100000 inyesI-
mont, ~ am aware " he said, addressing
the Republicans, "thut / am thrcahng
over old straw, but this thrcshing will de-
tormlno whether we will over lay another
threshlng on the throshing lloor,N
All through his speech Buttcrworth was
npplnudod vigorously by the Democrats
and when he finished ho left his Rcpubli'
can colleagues dngod and stunned while
lac proceeded TO tho cloak room TO receive
the congratulations Of Democrats who
crowded about him, This oyoning his
speech Is almost the sole thomc Of conyor'
satIon In the hotol lobbloa,
