red from colleges went out into the world
as free traders. This was due TO the TACT
that many of our colleges use European
text books, the works OF Tree trace

IL have spent twenty-five years IN poll

beloved and praised than Senator Quay
and Gen. Dudley want 10 warn you,
gentlemen of this committee, against a
growing tendency in the Republican party,
under the hypocrisy of the times, not to de-
feud its party leaders. The cases of Sena-
tor Quay and General Dudley afford vivid
examples of this practice.
