HE FEELS BETTER.
Richardson of Alabama Gives His
Views on the President.

Washington, Feb. 12.-The attitude
Of the Republican party on the tariff
question and the Presidents message
t.. Congress were the themes of long
speech in the House of Representa-
tives today by Richardson, Ala. He
said that the joint discussion in Con-
greSs during the last fortnight had in
remarkable manner cleared up the
political atmosphere and forcibly de-
fined the position and views of both of
the great political parties on vital
political and economic questions.
Tariff REFORM" said Richardson, "is
the issue that would clarity the politi-
cal atmosphere. Let us stand for free
raw material and the victory is ours"
Regarding the Presidents message,
Richardson said it was in response 20
the criticisms that the newspapers had
freely passed upon him and the pol
icies of his administration.
If. he inquired. the President was
truly sincere in the vigor and zeal of
the rights expressed in his message. or
the protection of the individual rights
of the citizen, against the rapacity
of the trusts, why did he not recon-
mend to his party that a guarantee be
given to every American citizen the
right to buy at home the products of
American manufacture as cheap as
these products are sold in foreign
countries?"
If that was done, he said, the trust
problem would be solved. The mes
sage, however. he said. was a strong
plea for the continuance of the party
in power and really made no direct
recommendations for the relief Of the
burdens Of the people.
