We'll" replied Mr.. Hanna, calmly, I ]
hope the senator does not mean quite /

"Oh. said Mr.. TilIman. Il mean the /
remark only as a general proposition"
Mr.. Hanna was then proceeding with |
/ his discussion of the manufacture of
armor plate carrying his description
/ from the ore mines 20 the completed
ship. when he was interrupted by Mr..
+ Allen (Neb.).

ufacture OF armor plate2
Il am not" emphatically replied Mr..
Hanna.
Has the senator ever manufactured
armor plate?" pursued Dir. Allen.
No"
None but political armor plate sug-
] gested Mr.. Allen sarcasiCaly.
None but political armOr plate, re-
( torted Mr. Hanna, turning squarely to
i Mr. Allen. And [ have found that

Trust Twins are Active.
Mr.. Allen said this discussion had
/ brought out the fact that the friends
of the trusts were in the saddle. No
previous discussion had been sufficient
to bring Mr.. Hanna or Mr. Elkins to
] the front.
But the moment that we attack one
of these trusts that are preparing to
rob the country of millions of dollars,
he said. They appear here as advO-
Gates of this great octopus, and under
/ take to persuade the senate that the
government should not manufacture
armor plate. but that it should stand up
and allow itself to be rifed
Mr.. Teller fColo) said that long be-
fore the senator from Ohio had taken
any part in public life he had been ad-
vOcating and voting for the increase of
the navy.
Nov" he said 1--WE are guilty of
treason if we don't fall kato the ideas
of the administration IN Imperialism
and if we are not willing TO allow the
government to be robbed. we are charg-
ed with being against the navy"

Continuing. Mr. Teller said he had
not intended TO bring politics into this
controversy, but that when the chief
representative of the Republican party,
, as he regarded Mr.. Hanna came here
as the champion of the combinations,
he felt that he was justified in saying
that the Republicans expect to repeat
this year the tactics of 1896, which con-
sisted of 1evying assessments upon
every manufacturing institution in the
country.
I deny the statement" interjected
Mr.. Hanna. 1t Is not true"
Refers to Colorado Banks.
L expected the denial" responded
Mr., Teller. Technically. the charge
, may not be true, but substantially it is
were all assessed. Even the banks of
Colorado were notified that they were
expected 10 make contributions for the
election of the Republican ticket"
I Mr.. Hanna-The First National bank
of Denver was the recipient of all the
contributions of the Democratic cam
paign fund. and its president was the
solicitor general for them"
b Mr.. Teller-If that is true. the
amount raised was inconseqUential.
Mr.. Hanna-Over 100000
! Dir. Teller-Oh, no; l know every dol
lar that went through that bank for
the campo ign

{ Then replied Mr.. Teller, the sen
| ator knows that the amount was not
u $500 OOO nor 100000 either"
[ / REASON EOE hanna Interest.
= Continuing, Mr.. Teller said that in
e view Of the fact that the policy of 1896
was to be repeated in 1900, it was not
difficult to account for the interest OF
the friends of the armOr plate makers
= in The senate. He did not suppose that
the disposition of the 8rmor plate ques-
ton had anything to do with Mr.. Car
+ negie's declaration for Mr.. Mckinley
: but he did know that the class of meT
5 for whom ne stands seemed to fee
u that it was essential that he should be
, reelected. This vas . mistake If they
