Champ Clark's wit,

Champ Clark Of Missouri is not only
one Of the wittiest men in the house Of
representatives. but he is one Of tho
best posted on the tariff question.
In ridiculing some Of the rates Of the
Dingley bill that to him seemed subject
to criticism, he recited how man Of
the name Of Goodyear went before the
ways and means committee and secured
the tariff he wanted by some skillful
palaver about the great statesmen that
Maine had produced Then he said:
"Mr. Chairman, that piece Of soft
soap made it harder for every poor
man in the United States to build
house. Governor Dingley swallowed the
bait as quick as a trout would swallow
fly [laughterl, and next summer some
poor devil out west, living in dugout
100 miles from railroad station, who
voted for Mckinley under the deluded
idea that prosperity would come under
his administration and who has not
heard Of this tariff bill, ciphers 1t out
that he can build him two room cot
tage with lumber and other building
materials at the old rate. He goes to the
station to get the lumber and finds that
the price has gone sky high, and he goes
back to his home and says to his wife:
MY dear, I am sorry that we must stay
in the dugout. We cannot build our lit
tie house. A great man by the name Of
Governor Dingley has put the price Of
lumber and other things SO high that
we cannot do it, but. thank God, he
has left dragons blood free. Laughter.
Next year. when my handsome friend
from Iowa (Mr. Dolliver) returns to
that fine agricultural district which he
represents, some man who has not been
able to buy coat because Of the high
price Of wooden cloth will say to his
neighbor. There comes Dolliver, who
put up the price of wooden goods But
the successful candidate for the post
Office in that district says, oh, but Dol
liver put divi-divi on the free listp
And in chorus they sing. 'Dolliver and
divi-divi forever. Laughter. Ap-
