TARIFF OF BAILEY
SCORED BY BRYAN
Nebraskan Says Texas Senator
Has Not Answered Correctly
His Views in Regard to Tariff
and Party Pledges.

FL PASo, Tex. Sept. 21.-william
Jennings Bryan makes the following
statement with reference to a recent
address of United States Senator J. w.
Bailey, taking issue with previous
declaration OF Mr.. Bryan with regard to
the Tariff and party pledges.
II read Senator Bailey's Dallas speech.
1t is as able a presentation of his posi-
ton as can be made. and / am very
glad 10 have his side of the proposition
presented by one who can put the best
appearance upon il, for when the voters
of Texas have read il they will know
that nothing better can be said in de-
Tense OF a tax on raw material, and as
he has not answered my argument, the
voters will have a right TO assume that
no one else can.
HE does not attempe to meet several
of my arguments. and some of the 9TH
ers he does not fairly present. His mis-
interpreted ton of history is surprising.
BAILEY Is ANSWERED.
He SAYS that we were defeated in the
congressional election of 1894 because
the doctrine OF free raw material was
embodied in the Wilson bill. He has
certainly not forgotten that the defeat
in 1894 was due to the fact that the
silver question divided our party at that
time. And. further, If he will examine
the election returns of 1894 he will find
that about the only districts that we
carried were the districts in those por-
lions of the country in which he says
the people resent the doctrine of free
raw material. while we lost the districts
in those portions of the country where
they have practically no raw material to
protect
He also overlooks the fact that In
1892 we elected a Democratic president
and secured a large Democratic majority
in congress on a platform which in
dorsed the doctrine Of free raw mate
rial, and he will remember also that we
won that victory after the house of rep
resentstives of the Fifty-second con-
gress had passed several free raw mate
rial bills. for which both he and voted.
las to the binding force of platforms,
he does not meet the proposition which
1 presented.
- affirm that an official is bound by
his platform, but Senator Bailey, If
read his speech Alright, does not express
an opinion on this subject. He attempts
to create the impression that the free
raw material policy is intended TO bene-
Mt the manufacturer.
FREE WOOL PLANK.
while in his speech he read the free
wool plank of the platform which / pro-
posed, he proceeded to make an argu-
ment which ignored a vital part of the
plank. We ask not only for free wool,
but for two other things, first, the aboli-
ton OF compensatory duties, and second
substantial reduction in the ad val
orem rate.
This would not be a favor to the
manufacturer. for the abolition of the
compensatory duties would more than
Offset the benefits which we would de-
rive from such free raw material, and q
| substantial reduction in the aad valorenl
rate would bring a still greater advan-
/ tage TO the consumer.
No one but wool grower will accept
his argument on this subject when it is
Understood-and not all of them"
