DOLl|vAR'S WARNING
Predicts a Tariff
Fight Outside of
Congress
PEOPLE NOT THE INTERESTS
Demand From Those Who
Pay Too Much For What
They Buy.

washington, u. C., May b.-Preulcl-
ing that the failure to pass tarln Dill
providing lower duties on imports
would provoke political contest for
another revision Of the tariff, Senator
'Cummins of Iowa, delivered a notable
speech in the Senate today. "The bill
before u.s. said the Senator, will not
be accepted by those who favored a
revision of the tariff as either of full
fillment of the party pledge or the
settlement of the controversy. If this
bill or anything substantially like 1T,
becomes law, predict a campaign for
lower duties will begin the moment
the extraordinary session adjourns
and will continue with increasing zeal
until judgment is entered in the court
of public conscience and also in the
journals of Congress.
"Who insisted upon tariff revision?
Not the manufacturers, not the lum-
bermen, not the iron and steel men,
not the oil men. During the whole
agitation never heard a demand from
those people that the tariff might be
revised. The demand came from those
who believed they were paying too
much for things they had to buy
'I've heard it said in conversation
that there are but few people interest
ed in the reduction of duties. l know
that the voices of those clamoring for
an increase of duties were distinctly
heard in the committee rooms, but
there will come time when the clam
or of the millions who want relief will
sound like the roar of a thousand
Niagara's. The people, it is true, have
not the advantage Of specific state
ments of interested beneficiaries and
the witnesses who filled the Capitol
these months. In this district in the
Judgment of the common man, mis-
take is often made and always atoned
for with sackcloth and ashes" The
Senator said that the work of reform
has just begun and would continue.
Thanks to the genius Of our institu-
tions the people have the power to en-
force and which they will enforce.
