ucators and students, that Mr.. Bayard
should give his views on protection.
McCrea-y concluded in part as follows:
When a citizen of our free country
becomes an ambassador or a minister.
should he be required to surrender or
suppress his true sentiments? Should
1t not have been right to speak his
sentiments politely and respectfully. IL
they are in accord with the policy OF
the government which he representa-"

in few words. explained his position
against the resolution of censure. This
was not, he thought. a time for sensa-
tionalism. We had trouble enough, he
thought, present and prospective. in
our foreign relations.
The last resolution deprecating par
tisanship by diplomatic representa-
tves. he thought. very proper. He
therefore asked that the resolutions be
divided and a separate vote had on
each. Cousins, republican, Iowa, sup
ported the resolutions. This deliber-
ate and unexampled breach OF diplo-
matte etiquette" said Cousins, "this
ungrateful. unprovoked and unbecom-
ing insult to the majority of the people
of America, to her distinguished living
and to her honored dead, by one who
bore their confidence, their mission and
credentials must not be left unchal-
lenged, since It has entered the an
nais of our diplomatic history" He
knew when he uttered that libel on the
memory of the greatest statesman of
America, that If you should blot out
the list of names that identify the doc
trine of protection in our history. you
would leave IT a dreary desert. But
last of all our ambassador confldes to
Edinburgh the startling news that pro-
lection in America dangerously de-
pletes the treasury" Why, Mr.. Speak
er, every one In Edinburgh knows that
the champions of protection took the
treasury of the United States when
there was nothing in it but a democrat
free trade vacuum and filled 1t with
gold and silver coins. 1t took the cred
1t OF the republic, sunken into disgrace
in the hands of democracy, and made
1t as good as the moneyed powers of
Europe. When the great party of pro-
lection took the treasury there was
never deficiency for 25 years, until
the black raven of free trade perched
again above our treasury door and
hooted, surplus, surplus never more"
No. Mr. Speaker. our ambassador to
Great Britain has not only violated the
regulations of his commission, not only
been false to his position, but false to
the facts OF his country. He concluded
with a burst Of eloquence that set the
house afiame. Men streamed up the
aisles to offer congratulations and IL
was fully a minute before order was
restored Dinsmore, democrat, Arkan-
sas, opposed the resolutions. He could
not hope to equal in brilliancy and elo-
quence the speech of Mr.. Cousins. he
said: he must rely on the strength OF
his cause. This remark provoked jeers
from the republican side.
The gentlemen may jeer," said he,
but when l examine these resolutions
and that which provokes them, / as
sert there's no strength in this cause.
If Mr.. Bayard had done anything TO
disgrace the country why had not the
original resolution to impeach him been
there was nothing in the
instructions of diplomat that would
prevent him from expressing his opin-
ion as an American citizen" Proceed
ing, Mr.. Dinsmore analyzed Mr.. Bay
ards utterance on the subject of pro-
lection and defended them. He quoted
from Senator Chandler's interview OF
yesterday about levies on protected
industry" by the boomers OF McKin- |
ley. This statement brought Mr.. Gros- |
venor. republican. Ohio, to his feet.
DO you endorse that statement" he |
asked
Il give you the testimony of a distin- |
republican" replied Mr.. Dins-
more.
Il deny it, said Mr. Grosvenor, en-
Il stamp it as an unmiti- |
gated falsehood. and defy anybody to |
prove it."
When republican candidates are |

1T has no interest. but II tends to |
prove what Mr.. Bayard said"
''Mr. Chandler has made those state
nents and Mr.. Grosvenor has denied /
-hem," interrupted Mr.. Barrett repub-
lean, Massachusetts. "Will you deny, /
will anybody deny that the mission to
italy was bargained for sold for |
$50 ,000?"
II deny it," shouted Mr.. Sulzer,
democrat, New York; Its not true"
Mr.. Dinsmore. continuing, read the
