Beveridge Challenges Statement
At the conclusion of 1Ir. Carmack-s
/ speech Mr.. Beveridge. Republican
member Of the Philippine committee
sharply challenged a statement by the
J Tennessee senator that the Philippine
! tariff had not been well or carefully
/ considered. As matter of fact. he
said. the tariff scale was fixed after
months of consideration and after con-
/ Sulting every interest in the Philip
pines.
! Did the Philippine committee make
an investigation Of the Philippine tar
/ if scale?'' inquired Mr. Carmack.
No replied Mr.. Beverage, but the
/ Philippine committee has been cOnsid-
ering that scale for two years
Mr.. Beverage declared that If the
/ Democratic party had given TO its last
/ tariff bin the same care which had
been given the Philippine tariff scale
this country's prosperity would not
have withered as il had under the tar
if it had enacted.
! Further along. Mr.. Beverage de-
clared that the reason why eU-Presi-
dent Cleveland. ex-President Harrison
and ex-senator Edmunds. all of whom
had nOt been In sympathy with the
( Philippine policy of the administration.
! declined TO follow the Democratic par
tv was because that party would not
accent the decision OF the supreme
court and the verdict Of the American
Z people as final.
Criticises the Minority.
He asserted that the reasons why
the moderate. thoughtful and con-
. strUctive people Of the county had not
followed the Democratic party in its
Opposition to the proper control OF
the Philippines and in other matters
of national policy was that they feared
THAT party would "soW the dragons
teeth from which would spring har-
vest of anarchy.
Another reason. he said was that
I that party WAS sounding note Of re-
treat and never in the history of the
country had the American people re-
treated from any proposition fairly
presented to them and they never
would
As he was proceeding TO discuss
some Of the conditions in the Philip
pine islands. Mr. Tillman of South Car
I0lina interrupted with the inquiry.
"WiH the senator be explicit ana

iservation or any Of the information he
has I'm regard to the dispatch from
I General Bell that he proposes 70 make
war so terrible that they would want
y peace and want it bad? Is that true,
or is it not2"
THAT was not done while [ was
there" replied Mr. Beveridge-
TiIIman Answers Questions.
Il will ask the senator continued
tBeveridge. whether. when he is max
ing war. ne would not make war so
terrible that the enemy would want
Deace2"
That would depend said Mr.. Till
man whether / honestly was engaged
in a war that I thought was decent
( and respectable or one Of subjugation
and infamy.
And does the senator charge, de-
manded Mr. Beveridge that General
\ Bell does not believe he is engaged IN
an honest warp
