ference and discuss II during the con
ference He renewed his loyalty 10 the
doctrine Of protection and had declared
had the bill been shaped on protective
or Republican lines, he would have vot
ed for it. although he did not believe 4
could bring prosperity.
But a careful examination Of the snea

no. pass.
I'm my judgment it Is the worst tarin

''The rates are exceedingly high. /
takes care OF. all the trusts in the coun-
try. and, l say 1t without offense., the
trusts and combin atoms and syndica re:
have had too much to do with this bill
Mr.. Teller said Republican senators
could not escape from responsibility by
saying they lacked a Republican ma
jority In the senate. There were fifty
men on the floor believing in protection
and a. east for;y-eight votes could
have been secured at any time for a de-
cent bill. But this was a bad bill, he
said. It was caucus bill, framed with
out consideration Of those senator's. who,
like himself, were not with the Repub-
lican caucus. The Republican leaders,
by consulting these senator's. could have
passed any decent, respectable bill. He
and his associates had been told to en-
ter the Republican CAUCUS. but they de-
ciined to pield their judgment by such
course.
When I walked out Of the St. Louis
convention" proceeded Mr. Teller, re-
calling a dramatic event, II intended 10
walk out OF the Republican party. but
I stated that I was protectionist still. I"
Notwithstanding this, the senator said
ne and his associates were treated as
the protective policy.

Populistic party did not believe the tar
iff was the issue. and did not desire part

Mr.. Mantle (Sil. Rep. MONTY after re-
viewing the causes which had led him
to break with the Republican party at
st. Louis, declared that he had never

protection. and would vote for the bill.
Mr.. Stewart Pop., New said he did
not vote for the Wilson bill, and would
not vote for this bill.
