patriotism. You must yield In the end to
his views. You cannot stand up against
tho sentiment of the great democratic
masses OF the country, which will rally
around tho president in his contests with
you upon this particular branch OF the
subject. The time to yield is now, before
there Is further humiliation, embarrasa-
mcnt and discord. The senate bill which
passed violates the democratic theory and
thereby fails TO redeem our pledges. A
single penny's duty violates our promises
and places US in a false position. The
president well says there can be no com.
promise on the matter of this character,
where vital principle Is at stake.
"The house of representatives, fresh
from tho people, which represents more
distinctly and peculiarly than We do the
taxing power of the people. repudiates
! our bill and the democratic president has
emphasized that reputation, and tho
condition which confronts us Is ono Of
extreme embarrassment. Shall we sur.
render to the house while we can do so
honorably. or shall We wait until We arc
driven to il? Tho president cannot ap.
prove the senate bill after what he has
said in this remarkable letter.
"What person would expect the prcsi.
| dent TO approve the senate bill after ito
vigorous and scathiny dcnuncia,ion con-
tanned in his letter? No: this letter 10 sig.
niiioant. II is a bold and vigorous, even

bill which docs not provide for free raw

Vest followed Hill with n scathing A..
raignment OF the president. whose letter
Of acceptance was pronounced In favor OF
frecr raw material, yet who now de-
nounced freer raw material as 'perfdy
and dishonor."
Vest was gratifled to know that there
had boon some common ground found on
which tho president and tho New York
senator could both stand. The lion and
lamb had lain down together. He left tho
country to judge which was the lion. Ho
