CHAMP CLARK's SPEECH.
All Wine In new Bottles -Old
Wv truths IN new Clothes.

,r,sion, Mr.. Clark said:
Mr.. Chairman, the gentleman
f,om California, Mr.. Bowers, has
hobbed up every time that any
gentleman has made speech here
b. mi. side of the chamber and
mon,ed to know the reason that no
mrovi.ion was made in this bill for
The farmer. Iwant to answer that
,uestiop. The farmer of this cum
Nv are not 1atu1al born fools, as
w VA SUIT Lovingood's daddy. No
tariff which human ingenuity may
dayise can raise the price of the
article which are exported from this
country, aud the farmers know it.
Beipg largely exporters they know
hat the duties on agricultural pro.
ducts in the M. X uley act were a
sbsm and fraud. applause
Mr.. Tawney: Fifteen hundred
of them in my district seem to
dissg ee with the gentleman.
MIR. Clark: Wait moment; l
will tell you about that by and by.
Being exporters, the farmers know
that no tariff can add to the value
of their exports. Being importers,
they know that everything they i'm.
mort is increased in cost under a
tariff. They are sick and tired of
this unfair and unequal arrange
ment The Mckinley law increased
the tariff on everything the farmer
buys, and the authors OF that bill
went to the country on that issue,
aud since the day when politics was
first invented among men, no set of
statesmen ever got such a thorough
trouncing at the hands Of the 7 go
pie. There wss not enough of them
lett for seed. Laughter. have
heard of an Old fellow out in the
district of my venerable friend frc m
Illinois Cannon who failed to make
connections in that year.
Mr.. Cannon: Will the gentleman
allow me right there?
Mr.. CLARK: Not just now. l
heard of an old man IN that district
who had been voting for Brother
Cannon and the Republican party
for 40 years, and when he found
how tina. election there had gone he
s,d to his wife: "S,lly, you pack
up the goods while l go to town and
pay some bills, and we'll move away
to some district which the Demo
Gratis cannot carry" Sally set
about packing the goods, while he
went to town and heard the news
from all over the country. When
he got back he mournfulIy said tc
his spouse: "Sally, unpack the
goods. There is no place il
America tina. we can 60 to, Ever
Massachusetts, has gone Demo
cratic" daughter We are
teetotally disguised with all this
bogus chatter alb out "the paupe
labor of Europe" while we are dali.
and hourly robbed to supper
pauper industries of America; fo
ally industry that needs pension
or bounty to support it is as much
pauper as any inmate of poor
house. (Applause.)
NATURE AND COMMON SENSE.
Let us quit the artificial hothouf
process of propagating industries
50 called, and return to the plan c
nature and of common sense. w
declare it 10 be the part of wlsdol
to quit raising and making thing
here which we cannot make an
raise in fair and honest competitio
With all creation and to turn OF
attention and confne our energie
TO raising and making things v
can produce at a profit, thereb
commanding the markets of ii
world.
There is absolutely no limit
the ingenuity of man. We could
doubt raise oranges in Maine
upon Jay Cookies banana belt alor
the Northern Pacific railway, but
barrel of them would give Villa
Waldorf Astor's pocketbook t
