Special Dispatch to the standard.
Washington, March 3i.-All the silver
republicans and all but four Of the pop
ulists in the house united in a failure
to vote on the Dingley tarin bill. This
course was in pursuance Of the policy
outlined In the populist manifesto re-
Gently issued and was also In accord
ance with an agreement which was
reached among the silver republicans
In his speech this afternoon Hartman
said: The silver republicans believe
In an adequate protective tariff, so lev
led as to equalize the difference be-
tween the cost of labor and the cost OF
living in this and foreign countries, and
insist that the protective system shall
include fair and adequate duty upon
raw materials. But, sir, am tired Of
this sham play here. The issue before
this people, gentlemen Of the house. Is
not a battle of schedules. hut OF stand
ards. and all OF your talk about free
trade and protective tariffs Will avail
nothing. | think some of the gentle
men upon the democratic side have
made mistake In accentuating this
tariff question. A few have not. but
some have. But while | believe that Is
true do not believe that you have,
in any way. transferred the issue from
the money to the tariff question. We
do not make issues here. The people
make issues, and when the american
people, expecting prosperity from tnc
tarin law, fail To receive u, they VIII
then turn their attention To the one
single question or turnishinS an ahe-
quate supply of money with which to
transact their business. The idea that
you can bring prosperity To this coun-
try by placing either a high or low
tariff upon the statute book Is absurd,
so long as you maintain the gold stan
dard. The question was apply put by
Major Mckinley and as aptly put ny

question was put in TINS language:
open the mills and not the mints. But
the reply was: open the mis- Tor
