the Democrats.
In speaking upon the passage OF the
senate tariff bill In the house on Mon
day, August 10. ex-Speaker Il. H. Reed
made some telling shots on the sugar
coated democrats. Almost by his tirst
remarks he stabbed Wilson in most \
tender spot, declaring the bill as IL 4
passed the house had come back again \
without even so much as the name OF
its author, as hereafter IL would be /
known TO the country as the Gorman-
Brice bill. A great wave OF laughter
and applause rolled through the cham
Der. even the democrats joining in the
rnerriment, when the eX-speaker re-
ferred 20 the conferrees on the part OF
the house as the little babes in the
wood, who had been left there by their
uncle In the white house, and TO whom
were later 10 come little birds bearing
/ ballots that were 10 bury them out of

when Springer, OF Illinois, was made
I the victim of the cold steel, as the eN-
| speaker referred in sneering tones To
the intention TO fire out one OF those
popgun tariff bills on account OF which
the gentleman from Illinois had been
deposed from the committee on ways
and means Mr. Reed spoke as follows;

regret for the country and It's position too. 30

concerned and his compatriots. there Is not
the slightest necessity OF my commenting on
the difference between this scene Of sorrow
and the triumphal procession which carried
him out OF the house. Laughter and applause
