WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-The speech of
Senator Dubois delivered in the senate
today, in addition to advocating the pas
sage of the free coinage substitute for
the bond bill, outlined the position of
Republican senators in the silver states
The senator said that while he cheer
fully greeted Populist votes in the senate
for free silver, he could not accept the
Populist leadership that party being ire
vocably committed to fat money with
unlimited Imitation. Further, silver Re-
publicans favored protection generally,
including so-caued raw materials,
and particularly lead. wool and Ium-
Der. besides various products of the
farm, plantation and ranch.
Referring to the charge that the west
ern silver states each have two senators
and are enabled to pass free coinage
bills, he said that the question of repre-
sentation was fought out when the con-
stitution was framed.
Notwithstanding this" he added, 81
read in the press of the east almost every
day that the region l represent is but
pocket burough not entitled to consid-
Grafton at your hands, and the inference
is that it is peopled by class of men
| who are perpetual shock to the rein ed
| and virtuous east
"The meanest and most vindictive of
the newspapers which attack the silver
| men are published in New York CITY,
where for four score years the worst
elements of our foreign immigration
| have found lodgment, and where there
| have been more scandals in Connection
with their government and elections
than in any other spot in our country"
BLAMEs THE WILSON BILL.
Senator Warren of wyoming Accounts
for the Great Depression in Values.
| WASHINGTON, Jan. Ex-senator War
rem of Wyoming addressed the senate on
mis- resolution calling attention to the
| shrinkage in number and value of farm
animals and requesting the finance COM
mittee to report appropriate legislation.
The senator attributed the shrinkage
to the Wilson bill, saying it had caused
in two years 1864, 100000 loss to the
American people in live stock. The
| talk that wool growers were more pros
| porous under free wool was preposter-
| Gus.
The elections of 1895 showed that
| after 1895 but a corporaPs guard of the
faithful would be left to mark the spot
| where once stood triumphant rampant
| Democracy fighting under the unpatri-
otic black flag of wisconsin emblem of
protection to foreign industry and dis
tress to our own. If the Mckinley bill
| of Republican fame was a 'hodoo" your
own Wilson bill has certainly been a
conspicuously stomach-try 'jonah."
The result of Republican and Demo
| cratic policies Mr.. Warren summed uD
| by saying that our live stock interests
always had thrived under Republican
rule and always had decreased both in
numbers and value under Demo
cratic administrations; that
responding with our own great
national shrinkage as an immense
increase in the business of foreign coun-
tries in our market; that while sheep of
the United States are worth but slightly
more than one-half what they were two
years ago, the wool expectation from
England to America in 1895 was nearly
triple that of 1894
Mr.. Warren in strong language de-
nounced Senator Vest for excoriating
the supreme court for reversing prsced
ent in the income tax cases and then
himself Mr.. Vest) gIorying in the fact
that the economical law of a tar
iff on wool had been after eighty
yeare overturned by the Wilson bill, that
crowning infamy that the senate frat
pitied, then endured, then embraced. he
closed by urging it TO right about face,
change its un-American policy and stop
the golden drain by the collection of
gold for i'm DOrts
