Senator Eugene Hale,of Maine-The
talk about revising the tariff by it's
friends is utter nonsense. If the tariff
is revised at all the effect will be to
give the country democratic tariff
and the country does not want that.
There is actually no demand for tariff
revision except among democrats, free
traders, mugwumps and a few weak
kneed republicans. The great mass
of the republican voters of the coun-
try believe that the Dingley tariff law
is the wisest congressional enactment
of the last quarter of century. The
business men Of the country do not
want conditions, disturbed. They are
satisfied with their present prosperi-
ty. l repeat that there will be no
tariff revision.

l. N. McCash of Des Moines in de-
tense of the inebriate law-It lies par
allel in principle to the treatment of

mentally unbalanced by disease or
mental arrangement so his actions
menace society the state is at once in
terested. He may destroy life OF
property. Not able to control himself
the state adjudges him incapable, by
proper commission, and assumes con-
troll of him. 1t puts him under special
lists on mental diseases and confines
him to hospital supported by taxa.
ton. At any time the superintendent
of the insane asylum declares pa
tient cured and capable of self-govern-
ment, he is returned to society and cit
izenship.
Suppose the state should know of
these fits of insanity and should say:
Il have no right to take away the lib
erty of this man until he breaks the
law" This he does, life is taken,
and the state then tries him for the
crime. If found insane, and cured at
the hospital, ne returns to society with
stained hands and the odium of Grim
inal upon him. The expense of such
trials falls to the taxpayers.
