adorns his speech with a phrase which
gives me
CALM AND SOLID DELIGHT,
He says his party should be kept in pow
CT because the Senate bill should be admin
istered by its friends. Its friends! Who are
they! The Democratsf Why, after the
most careful reading of all Democratic
spe eches and platforms for months,
thought this Senate bill, was founding
laid on party door steps by base persons,
who are going to be incontinently
drummed out of the family. But it is of no
use to discuss the Bill. If we could tome
into power and rectify it, it might be well
for all the people to have all the informal

have some good results. Experience may
teach US more fully than reason, and while
we may view with a sad anticipation the
lessened wages and the diminished bust
ness, we may console ourselves, since
nothing but consolation is left, that just
action next time will rest upon the broad
basis of full popular knowledge.
One striking example of the effect of ex-
perience is seen in the very bill before us.
You all remember how tin plate was

with this? They did not protect it but
they tried to do it. Instead of abolshing
all duties as they tried to dc in the 5lst,

they raised theduty of 1888 one fifth of a
cent. This shows much change of mind.
When Democratic feformer finds a large
industry, in his districtit is surprising how
sweetly he smiles on what would be ''rob-
berry in somebody else's district.
