THE BAYARD RESOLUTIONS
A Political Turn Given Them by Mr.
Diusmore's Remarks
Gen. Grosvenor Says the Charge OF
Fnlsehood-Mr. Cousins Speech.

Representative Dinsmore in his speech in
defense Of Bayard yesterday referred to
| the Chandler interview, in which 1t was
charged that Mr. McKinley's friends were
levying contributions on manufacturers
Mr.. Grosvenor asked if Mr.. Dinsmore in
dorsed these charges.
Il give you the testimony of a distin-
guished republican" replied Mr.. Dinsmore
PERSONALLY 1t is a matter seriously beyond
| my KEN
Il deny it, said Mr.. Grosvenor, en-
phatically. II stamp it as an unmitigated
| falsehood, and I defy anybody to prove it,
when republican candidates are reach
| ing out to the protected industries for aid,'
returned Mr.. Dnsmore, cit has no interest,
but 1t tends to prove what Mr.. Bayard
said"
Mr.. Chandler has made those statements
and Mr.. Grosvenor has denied them,' in
will you deny, will anybody deny. that
the mission to Italy was bargaincd for
and sold for $50,0O0?"
Il deny it," shouted Mr.. sulzer of New
York. 1T is not true"
Mr.. Dinsmore, continuing, read the fur
Their allegations Of Senator Chandler about
doodle and fat frying" to the great
amusement of. the democrats.
Mr. Bayard's message, he concluded
came as glad message to the manhood
| of America; to- those who believed that the
masses should not be taxed for the benefit
of the few. If others believed in taxation
for special classes he cared not. Let the

Mr.. Cousins of Iowa followed in favor of
the adoption of the resolutions. He said:
This deliberate and unexpected breach CT
diplomatic etiquette this ungrateful, I'M
provoked and unbecoming insult to a ma
1ority OF the people of America, to her Gis-
tInguished living and to her honored dead,
by one who bore their confidence, their
mission and credeE: ials, must not be left
unchallenged since 1t has entered the an
Eais OF our diplomatic history"
Mr.. Cousins read letter of Minister
Rush, who was minister to Paris in 1913,
when he refused TO present to the French
government the resolutions adopted by the
democratic national committee congratu-
iat1ng the national assembly of France On
the change of government in that coun-
try.
AIR. Bayard. he declared, toadied to the
Golden Club and to the school of Man
chester and to his own prejudice, and told
Great Britain that protection in America
had banished men of Independent mind and
character from its public councils, when
he knew that the list of its illustriOus adj
vocates, beginning with the distinguished
names OF Washington and Madison and
Franklin, had never ceased to grow where
progress markell the way, until it had re-
corded in the register of Independent minds
and fame the names Of Clay, of Jackson
and of Webster. of Lincoln and of Grant.
OF Garfield, of Randall and of Blaine ami
ne Knew that almost on the very day he
uttered that indictment the list of iadepen-
dent minds that champion the doctrine of
protection in America had grown to tie
greatest and most significant majority that
ever spoke their independence at a popular
election in this country He knew, when
he uttered that libel on the memory of the
greatest statesmen of America that If Won
should blot cut the list of names that iden-
THY the doctrine of protection in our his
tory, you would leave IT a literary deser.
as Insignificant and barren of achievement
as Disraeli's grandfather's chapter of
events that never took place
Eut last of all our ambassa dor c1nfdes
20 edinburgh the startling news that pro.
lection in America dangerously depletes
tha treasury. Why, Mr.. Speaker, even
r.uiiburgh KNOWS that the champions of
SFotection took the treasury of the United
states when there was nothing in it bu,
democratic free trade vacuum and filled
Il up with gold and silver coin. 1t
took the credit of the republic, sunken
into disgrace in the hands of the
democracy, and made it as good as
the moneyed- powers of Europe; SO good
that Wendell Phillips declared that our
funds sold as well in Europe as Enpl;s;,
consols, and that the universal union could
borrow money as cheaply as Great Britain.
And, from the time the party Of protec-
ton took the treasury, there was never a
deficiency for twenty-five successive wears
until the black raven of free trade nerche,i

NO, MI Speaker, our ambassador to
Hreat Britain has not only violated tie
regulations of his commission, not only
been false to his position, but false to the
Facts of his own country. Who would have
thought that within forty years after the
eyes of the immortal Lincoln were closed
in martyred death amid the homage and
the alteration of this great and grateful
land, that within brief time the am
bassador of his country to the motherland
would SO far forget the dig,ified and deli
Gaze requirements of his high position as
to thus stigmatize and Witty the honest
followers and eXemplifiers of one of the
hfst and dearest principles of the great
emancipator?"
