an indication of departure from Demo.
cratic principles and whether those
animadversions are not borne out "by
the utterances of his Senator Gray's)
personal and political friend, the highest
authority in the Democratic party, the
President of the United States2" Sena-
tor Aldrich continued in twitting Senas

differences between him and the Scna.
tor from New York
Senator Gray then replied;
That may be, but the Senator from
Rhode Island is doing his little utmost
In that direction. He undertakes to dance
measure with the Senator from New
York, and they will waltz together
down the aisle in support and in fur
therance of this family feud.
Mr.. President, | was saying when
was interrupted that no mans views as
tariff reformer were entitled to be
gainsaid because he might differ with
some Of his colleagues as TO the rate of
progress that was practicable or posi-
BILE under existing circumstances. If
you are in the sea in an open boat, and
want to get to the shore, and the tide Is
against you, all you have got 10 do is TO
row, and if your strength will last you
after while You will reach there; but
you will not advance one step by jump
ing overheard and trying To walk
SO, Mr.. President, recognizing the
conditions that surround US; recognizing
thcraging sea Of partisan Republicansm
that casts up against the PROV of the
Democracy all the dead and foul things
that exist at the bottom of that sea;
recollecting shat we have these diff
culties to encounter, that we have these
obstacles to overcome--it would be idle
TO ignore them-how can we arraign
our brethren WHO are enlisted in the
same cause if they shall think that
progress and final achievement require
q slower gait, or demand concession on
this side or that, so long as the PROV of
the boat is kept towards the shore of our
promise and our hopes.
These are not new views of mine. In
1890 at the close Of the discussion on the
Mckinley bill had occasion to say
But it is one thing to occupy that con
sentative attitude toward these protected
industries, turning our faces all the while
in what we consider the right direction
towards greater freedom of trade, towards
the loosening of the bonds that bind the
intercourse of men, towards fewer restric-
tions and not towards an increase of them
and another to support that policy which
Keeps its face always turned towards a
greater and greater restriction, towards
%. building higher and higher this tariff wall,
and shutting our ewes to all that lies ont
side of t--a policy that must be founded
upon the theory, if their is anything in it.,
that the world is too large. and that We

the eastern and western shores of this
continent Should bound all the world for
us, and that all outside of it were o waste
of waters and no civilized man found
habltatiuu elsewhere than within the con.
fines OF cur own Republic.
Mi. President, / always knew. OF
thought knew, that the task that was
before the Democratic party after the
election of 1892 would prove most
difficult and most appalling one. Here
was protection cntrenched in power and
place and wealth, supported by the
avarice and self-intcrest OF the pro.
tected classes, by the trained in.
telligencc Of the protected classes
all believing, and | admit hon,
estly believing, most OF them, that
protection had come TO be All absolutely
necessary condition to the cOntinuane,
