THAT what is good for England is bad
for US. He Is mistaken. Another
country once tried low tariff taxes for
ten years and prospered under that

world has ever prospered before or

country 1t tried free trade be-

HON. C. E. ALLEN.
From the Republican SIDE, was next
introduced. He said: The gentleman
who preceded me is a very learned
gentleman of theories which have
| been tried many times and have been
found wanting. He has not stated the
whole case. Gentlemen can sit in
(oftices and construct beautiful theories
with which they may tickle the ears
lof the people, but those theories are
no good in practice. After the war of
1872 the manufactures of the United
States began to pay because the goods
lof England we're kept out Lord
Broom of the English cabinet then said
| that the American manufactures
would pay and that her industries must
| be stif1ed. The speaker blamed the
Democratic party for alleged hard
times during the time it was in power
up to 1850 when he said there were
always hard times. He said cheap
postage did not come in until the
Republicans came into power.
| The previous speaiers have said that
these hard times are the result of

The speaker then entered into a
dissertation on the Wilson bill and
said that instead of stealing d dollar
the Democratic leaders intend to steal

Mr.. Chairman: l desire this evening
to speak to this side of the house. be

the star Of the empire has always taken
its sway. l want to talk to those peo-

make a man a little better than God
Almighty ever made him. To those
who believe that by an act Of Con-
gress you by some power may enable
a person to perform the gymnastic feat

the fence. / want to talk to the people
who believe that taking the dollar out
of this pocket and handing it over to
the pocket of my friend who will fol-

don't believe it is the right of every
man to go into store where he can buy
goods the cheapest. and if he has any
thing to sell TO go to the market where
he can get the highest price and sell
them there. ! want to talk to the
people who believe that by building

but when l hear Of the tariff-when I
am told that my friend seeks in the

draws forth a jack knife, and say that
that knife only cose me one dollar and

tariff that enabled him to do it Tap

right here now and say that 1t Is in

look at that JACK knife and see
whether it was not manufactured in
Sheffield, shipped over into this

upon 1t, and sold here at a profit. ZAP
