WASHINGTON. Sept 2l.-The hearings
have been substantially from beginning
TO end in support of the Republican doc
trine OF protection to American indus
tries aud American labor. IL there was a
disposition on the part of tae majority OF
the committee Co frame free trade
measure the hearings before the commit
tee must have. IL men will listen to rea-
son. modifying effect upon such pur-
poses
Even the few witnesses who have ap-
peared in behalf OF y tariff for revenue
only we're compelled TO confess before they
were through that they were protectiolists
so far as their own interests were con-
cerned. and only wanted free trade in re-
gard to every other industry.
The summing up of the whole matter
results In a complete vindication OF the
doctrine Of protection as advocated by
the Republican party, and full vindica-
tion OF the wisdom Of the tariff OF 1890.
and IL the majority OF the COMMITTEES
shall report bill In any way interfering
with the American policy az embodied in
