vision downward, "the angelic choir should break in the full chorus: Sound the glad timbrel OCT land and OCT sea. Dalzell Is converted; the country Is free"
 Entertmins Grave Doubts.
 IJntu he did that, continued Mir Clark. shall entertain grave doubts as to the sincerity of these new advo- cates of tariff revision.' No doubt, he said. the Republicans were preparing for another stupendous confidence game on the people "by promising tar ifr revision in their next platform, without indicating whether the revis- ion was to be up or down." The Re- publicans, he charged, had won in last ''by a juggle of the financial ques> tion," and added that their solemn pledge to promote an international agreement for the free coinage of sil- yer roped in eoough enterprise to land them in the White House. Now he remarked, the Republicans were medi- tating a juggle on the revision of tar- if "as a companion piece to their suc> cessfuI tuggIe as to coinage"
 Mr. Clark believed that one-third or all Republicans were honestly in favor of revising the tariff downward and' referring to the declaration Of MT. Payne in favor of a maximum and a minimum tarifT, asked if Mir. Payne was
  to make the tariff 45 per cent of the Dingley rates, or the proposition of former Representative McCleary "to mage the Dingley rates the minimum and the maximum the blue vault of heaven" MT. Payne, he declared, could be precise when he chose, but he said because in both his propositions touch ing the tarin Mir. Payne used equivo- cal terms ''one may fairly conclude that there is a large sized Senagampian con- cealed in the wood pile, or a mammoth rodent in the meal tub"
 MT. Clark spoke of the readiness of tha speaker to recognize" at all times Messrs Payne, Dalzell, Hepburn, Sher- man and Tawney, whom he character ized as the high i've" without raising any question as to what they had in mind. That being so, he challenged any one or all of them to ask unani- nous consent for immediate considera- ton of a new employers liability bill, or bills limiting Federal Courts in is- suing injunctions. providing jury trials in contempt cases, providing for the publication of campaign contributions and campaign contributors. and plac- ing wood pulp and print paper on the free list. in which event he said the Democrats would hail the request with rapture and pass the bills with Whoop in one day"
 In conclusion Mir. Clark said:
 Summoned to Service.
 "In the impending conflict, I summon every Democrat in all this broad land to service under the Democratic banner and for Democratic principles-princi- pIes which the immortal Jefferson enun- cIated. which the heroic Jackson up- held and which are as dear to the hearts of the people this day as they were a century ago. Fighting under that banner and for those principles we won fourteen presidential elections out of thirty and can win again and again until we drive the Republicans from every place of power, thereby re- storing the government to the safe, wise. wholesome and patriotic policies of the fathers-a consummation de- voutly to be wished"
 In the midst of Mfr. CIarl1's remarks one of the Presidents secretaries ap- peared in the chamber with a message. Instantly there was general laughter and when the secretary made his exit, MT. Clark convulsed the House by de- claring:
 Tt is a cold day when the President does not send letter or message to somebody" He added that he would be nightly mistaken If in the end the President did not suffer from an acute political paralysis" Mir. Clark's re- marks were hailed with shouts. Demo- cratic applause and laughter on both sides of the chamber. At times the Democrats rose in their seats and wildly manifested their delight at his utterances.
 He took his seat amid a demonstra- tion seldom witnessed on the floor of the House.
