urgency OF the situation in Turkey. asking
that steps be taken TO Stop the most ap-
paling sacrifice IN the history OF the world.

Mantle OF Montana WAS recognized for
speech on tho resolution recommitting
the tariff bill 10 the finance committee. II
was his maiden speech OF formal charac-
ter. He said he hssitated, as a young and
new member Of the senate. to address the
body. but the msnterpre.ation and mis-
representation OF the Republicans OF the
West moved him. He spoke OF the recent
uttersnees of President Cleveland before
missionary gathering deroSatory TO the
West as but one OF the assaults made OF
late against the rotten borou-hs ard
mining camps OF the West as the metro
politan president deeiznated the silver
states. Mantle declared that within a ra-

ton. crime and criminals than in all the
silver states combined. He gave statistics
comparing the silver states with FIVE
Eastern states. showing the former to be
breast and head ever the Eastern states
IN materia! and moral standing. Mantle
said the attacks spranz mainly from the
fact that five Republican senators from the
Wes. voted against proceeding with the
- f.tI Il.. f,,.,v
kinney law was, said the senator, strictly
high protective measure. so high that
some Republican senators doubted its ex-
pe1iency and would. IL the Republican par

re-enactment but the Diagley bill was
not measure designed for protection or
revenue. IL was n political measure
framed without due consideration for The
Western states. There are some Repuh-
licans." exclaimed Mantle. willing 10
sacrifice the principles of the Republican
party so long as the measure afforded pro-
lection to certain interests"
The i've Republican senator's were de-
nounced as traitors to their PARTY for fail
! ing 10 vote for the tsriff bi,i But Maatie
denied that the Dingley bin was Repub-
lican measure, and he quoted the statement
OF Sherman that the bill was strictly non
partisan. and was not a Republican meas
ure. II the Dlngley bill was revenue
measure. as claimed by lis friends, then no
manufacturers suffered from its failure. as
II was protection, not revenue. that was
vital to their interests. In view Of these
facts. Mantle suggested that the efforts
made to read him and his silver associates
out of the Republican party would better
be recons,dered by the Eastern press and
that these senators be permitted to remain
In the party.
Tho senator declared himself in favor Of
protection. but not sectional protection
II was a principle too great to be used in
behalf OF any special interest or any mo-
nopoly. II must shield ard upbuild the
West as well as the East. While, however
he favored true protection, he favored
equally true b.-metallism. the coinage Of
both gold and silver at the ratio OF &c 20 l.
He believed also in bl-metallism which
does no; wait for the action OF foreign coun-
tries. In conclusion Mantle expressed the
hope that the tariff bill would he so re-
modelled by the finance committee as to be
truly Republican. combining tariff and b.
mctallism. After paying z slowing trib-
ute 10 the Republican party. Mantle said
he hoped that great party. though wavcr-
ing would IN the end refuse to be guided
by greed and sei3shness; would refuse to
stand as the representative of corporate
interests: would stand for the whole people
and whea IL me. in national convention,
