Washington, April 20.-The senate to-
two hours duration, on the trusts, by
Mr.. Dolliver. He referred to the atti-
tude of the democratic party toward the
tariff saying that for the first time in
our national history since 1868, the pol
icy of protection stands approved, its
enemies themselves being the judges by
the common consent of the American
people.
He defended the republican policies
against the charge that they fostered
trusts, and said: There is only one
sense in which a protective tariff can be
held responsible for trusts, and that is
that without protective tariff there
would have been fewer industries to
combine and therefore fewer combina-
TONS He declared that the effect of
an abolition of the tariff would be to
turn our markets and our industries
over TO other nations.
Mr.. Dolliver in closing, said: I'VE ap-
proach this presidential campaign unit
ed in the bonds of our historic faith.
We did not originate it. We inherited it
from our fathers.

tariff law of 1897 into a more perfect
relation to the industrial progress of the
American people. we propose to make
them ourselves, whenever in cur tudg-
ment the work can be done without do
ing more harm than good, but we shall
not consent to any change which sur
renders the rights of American labor
or the advantage which every mnlI
ought to have over his competitors in
other lands.
1--WE look forward with hope to the
progress of our commerce from the
rivers to the ends of the earth, but we
do not forget that the statistics of our
foreign trade have brought the most en-
coura cement to our people in those ex-
act periods when our producers have
been most perfectly guarded against the
injurious approach of the outside worl1
and that the law OF 1897 for the first
time in our history, has yielded to us a
favorable balance of trade in manufac-
tured goods"
Consideration Of the sundry civil ap-
propriation bill was resumed, the i'm
mediate question being the amendment
for an office committee building for the
senate. Messrs. Stone and Stewart sup
ported the amendment and Mr.. New

entire question until it could be investi-
gated by architects. The amendment
was agreed to by a vote of 80 to 10. The
nrovision for an addition to the east
front of the capitol, inserted by the
house and amended by the senate COM

Mr.. Allison offered an amendment,
which was adopted, limiting the imme-
date appropriation to $4,000.
An amendment appropriating $1,000
as the share of the United States of
the cost of building to be erected in
Washington for the bureau OF American
republics, was adopted. Mr. Bacon Of
fered and the senate accepted an
amendment appropriating $4,000 for the
election in Washington of a statue of
Thomas Jefferson. He said he desired
to have provision inserted "as an
antidote to the provision for a statue
Of Frederick the Great" and he asked
to have the provision inserted immedi-
ately after the paragraph relating to
Frederick, which was done.
The sundry civil appropriation bill
was then passed as amended. The bill
ratifying the agreement with the Crow
Indians for the cession and sale of a
portion of their reservation in Montana
