want TO say 10 my Republican friends
here that they can't go To the country

have majority TO act with us. MIR.
President, there are in this CHAMBER now
at least fifty United States Senators who
believe i'll the doctrine of protection, and,
according to my count, there are fifty
one.
There are number of Senators who
have acted with the Republicans in the
past and who still retain their views On
protection. There are forty-three Repub-
lican members of this body aud forty-five
affirmative votes Will pass any bill OF any
| proper protective measure; and if good
protective measure is offered it could count
| on forty-eight affirmative votes. But this
| bill bad bill. II has been made With
out consultation with all the Republicans;
| it was made by a caucus of the geld branch
| OF the Republican party.
we (the silver Republicans) Were told
that il we were permitted to go into
the caucus We might be forgiven; but we
| did not propose TO 20 into the caucus; we
did not propose TO yield to the majority of
| Senators who differed so widely from US.
We had not indicated that We were not
protectionists; We voted against the tahff
| bill of last session because We believed
there was a greater and more impor tant
issue.
Every Republican knew that bill could mt
he passed at that time, ana besides we
| thought the other question paramount

walk out OF the Republican party. He and
his associates lad, however, since been

| the present bill and the syndirates to CO.
operate with him (Teller) and his friends
Mr.. Butler announced that he would with
hold his vote
Ar Cannon said that although he was
| Republican and q protectionist he would
yo;e against the bill. Ii was not essentially

nIerely the voice OF corporations and
monopolies.
Mr. Allen said that as it was not a
! Populist measure, he would withhold his
vote.
hr. Mantle said he must say something
as they had arrived at a period OF ex-
| plantations. He also explained his posi-
| ton as q Free Silver Republican, but
| said that lac anG other Free SILVER KeDuili-
cans st1ll believed in protection. The Re
| pubhcans Won the election and they We're
entitled to tariff bill, with all its re-
| sponabllities. Mr.. Mantle said that he
dlsliked the Sugar Trust legislation, and
| the failure of the antitrust amendment
and some other things, but he would vote
for the bill all the same.
MIR. Stewart arose Ia speak
MT Mills insisted on the observance of
the nYe-nlnute rule. (Great laughterl
Nj. Stewart made an eXpiauauon, in
which he said that when the hill had
| failed 1t would demonstrate to the peo-
| pie that they should no longer follow
or expect aid from the bosses, and that
the only relief would be found in the
| settlement of the financial question He
would not vote
During all these explanations there were
cries of -'Voter' Voter
