It was worthy Of remark. he said at the
outset, that the campaign Of four years
ago turned entirely on the tariff, yet the
president called an extra session to deal
with the financial question, and that
the last campaign turned ON the finan-
cial question, yet congress WAS called
In extra session to deal with the tariff.

dressing the other side, you will not
live to see the day when you can secure

He said Bailey's prophecy carried him
back seven years. when In the same
prophetic tone from the same desk he
listened to the same prophecy at the
conclusion Of the debate on the McKin-
ley law. But" he continued. "the
country Is much wiser today than II
was seven years ago. The country fol-
lowed that prophecy, It listened to the
promises. and they cost the people $780,
