h. said, was due TO the elimination Of
thirty years Of high protection. We were
living under the highest protective laws

The senator from Delaware may preach

Aousands of workingmen out OF employ

Gray closed the incident by declaring
they were out OF employment because the
Mckinley tariff Law was in force, and
Dolph resumed his speech. There was
some discussion between Dolph and Allen,
when Chandler entered the debate with q
Suggestion that as there was no necessity

Domething about the tariff since he has

Dolph agreed to yield to Allen. but

Teller inquired whether there was the
mme difficulty about collecting the tax in
Eagiand. Dolph said he had no informa-
ton from England, but he knew the tax
bad been evaded in this country and peo-
pie were committing perjury to escape it.
Teller said his experience had been diff
ierent from that of Dolph. He did not
mink il was evaded any more than the
PERSONAL property tax In Colorado,
where an income tax was in force, there
vas not as much difficulty In collecting it
q there was in tho collection OF the per-
sonal property tax. He did not

pie were too dishonest to have the

earnestly. II want TO say TO the senators
Rom New Hampshire and Oregon and to
any other senator who makes the claim
tast an income tax cannot be collected be-
eaase the peopie are dishonest. that il is
