The house Tariff Leader Talks of Nc
KinIey and EepubIican Criticism.
BALTIMORE, Oct. IA Baltimore
Sun correspondent boarded the New
York as she came up from guarantee
and carried to Mr.. Wilson the drst
home news he had received for some
time. His attention was called to the
SUMS report of the speeches of Major
Mckinley, commenting on the London
speech and the chamber of commerce
dinner. He read this -attentlvely aud
putting down the paper, remarked:
''rhe best answer to all this Is
the speech VIII CHI delivered aud which
Mckinley is critlcislng. If Major
Mckinley is rightly reported he has
simply gai bled my speech by using
the first half of a sentence to twist 1t
in one way, and emitting the first half
which could not be 30 used. | knew
full we'll whatever might say on such
an occasion would be thus garbled and
falsely presented to the American peo-
pie by protection speakers and papers,
and so l did what l seldom do, die
tated and gave to the press an accurate
synopsis of my speech and u full copy
OF the address TO the London Times,
which called forth long editorial in
that paper next day, from which Nc
kinley and his followers may take all
the comfort they Gun draw.
Fet 1t His Duty to Speak.
II went abroad at my DOCTORS sug.
gestions TO shake of my unspeakable
fatigue so rs to take part as much as
in In I f,,t,
public mep. The dinner rendered me
was, felt, too great an honor to my
country and myself to be declined,
coming from IL great commercial cham
Der of the world. l accepted, feeling
that l could not show my appreciation
of it better than speaking us an Amer
lean citizsn and exactly as | speak
here ut home. In this l was not de-
ceived. My speech WAS received by
the whole audience In the spirit in
which it was made, and while many,
perhaps most OF them, may have dis
agreed with me, found that more
than Que long-headed English man
agreed that our reduced tariff would
make us great competitor In the
worlds markets and eventually regain
for US our share of the carrying trade
of the world"
Kept Himself Quiet In London.
In London Wilson paid not the
| slightest attention to politics and saw
few public men except at the chamber
of commerce dinner. The English
public men seem to know but little OF
the new tariff and he heard few ex-
pressons of opinion on the subject,
but as general rule, English people
always welcome anything that will
promote trade.
Mr.. Strauss here interposed and de-
clared that Wilson, with characteristic
modesly, had tried hard to conceal
himself and keep out of public notice,
but the hospltable British business men
had learned of his presence In London
and insisted on entertaining him.
Asked About Trusts.
Wilson was asked whether he had
made any Investigation about "trusts''
in England. II did not this time,'
he replied, "but vixen [ was in En-
gland In 1889 did and discussed the
subject in IA series of articles / wrote
for the Sun at that time. Trusts, as
we know them, of course can not exist
In Great Britain. Where the whole
| world is free to compete no trust can
corner the market" With regard to
coal, Wilson stated the English syndi-
cate which formerly owned the Nova
Scotia mines were much pleased al
getting lid of the property. Prac-
tically bunker coal was on the free list
10 the Mckinley bill. Foreign steam
ships could and can buy Nova
| Scotia coal at Boston. New York
or at any American port free of duty,
and yet they prefer to buy Maryland
and Virginia coal. This fact alone
ought to do away with the scare about
free coal.
IF you should unfortunately be de.
feated for the house." observed Mr..
Strauss. II have no doubt that the
people of West Virginia will insist on
putting you in the senate" II much
prefer the house." Wilson replied. III
is u far greater and more active body"
Wilson proposes to begin his canvass
at once.
