he always used to twirl while making

said that a little girl who had long

VI IA SeA2htEa
The Senate OF the United States is
new the only barrier between the
w~orkingmen Of America and the des-
u%tution, the misery and the Degrade
tien of free trade. The betrayal of
the peoples interests by the majority
in the House of Representatives
makes the Senate the sole guardian
Of the homes of the nation. 1t is the
only power that can defend the in
dustrisl independence of the Repub-
lie, that a protect American indus
tries from wholesale ruin; that a
maintain American wages and Amer.
lean standards of living against the
certain destruction that awaits both

acted into law.
During its century and more of
existence the Senate has admirably
fulfilled the purposes for which it
was designed by the founders of the
government. 1t has been the firm ad-
vccate of American rights and the
undaLnted champion of American
honor. II has stcadfastly upheld the
preroyatircs OF the people against
undue assumptions of Executive au-
thority- 1t hiss roursgeously main
tanned the principles of the Consti-
tuition and the welfare of the nation
against the clamor of dcnIagogues
and gusts of popular passion. But
never in its history has it been con-
fronted with a graver duty than now.
Never have the interests committed
to its hands been more momentous.
Never has the necessity for prudent,
fearless, sagacious action on the part
OF Senators been more imperative
than it is to-day.
Ii is not the wealth of millionaires,
but tie homes of the people that are
threatened by the infamous Wilson
bill. 1t is moi the profits of capital
that tremble in the balance, but the
wages that allow Americar citizens
to maintain their families in dccency
and comfort. Upon the Scnate's de-
cision rests the industrial life of the
greatest of modern nations. On its
verdict depends the prosperity OF
seventy mlllitus OF Americans. lis
action will determine whether the
priceless industrial Independence
which has been the aim of every pa
triot and statesman since the dEts Of
Washington shall be preserved for
the benefit of American citizens or
surrendered to foreign greed; whether
the Republic which has given TO labor
its highest glory and it's Widest up-
portunity is to remain the friend or
become the Toe oil men VINO Toll;
whether the best and frcest civilizs,
ton the world has known is to be pre-,
served and developed or whether il
is to sink to the level of the poverty
cursed centers OF Europe and the
standardization of Asia.
The Senate is the bulwark against
evils infinitely greater than this gen.
Grafton has known. It will earn the
sincere gratitude of the American
people and perform a service that will
never be forgotten if it shall llll that
measure of imbccility. OF treason and
