1--WE go forth to battle with tariff re-
duction and genuine reciprocity in
scribed upon our banner"
He then drew a line of demarcation
between the tariff ideas of the two par
ties and d,yelt at some length on the
"standpat" declaration Of the repub-
hcans. He called attention to the dis
senting element of that party. who, he
said, marched under the banner of the
Iowa idea" and inferentially he
classed this element as democrats. He
predicted the denomination OF Presi-
dent Roosevelt and conceded that the
republicans may be able, by hook and
by crook. to get together for this cleo
ton" but said that there would be a
,"sloughing off, of the party which
would amount to a split in the near fu-
ture.
Mr.. Clark referred to Representatives

Mr.. Clark took Mr.. Hepburn to task
for saying in a recent speech that the
production OF pig iron in this country
had Increased from 100000 tons ten
wears ago To 100000 tons in 1902. Mr..
Clark declared that in 1902 the produc-
ton dn the United States was 1f,S2l,-

growth of Jonah's gourd vine would be
dropped and the comparison made with
Col Hepbul,n's pig iron increase. He
then quoted Col. Hepburn's statement
