\ Washington. May s.--(SpeciaiJ- Senator poIiiver. of Iowa, wao the oth- e. day made such. a xero,tous a,tack upon the wool. sn and cotton scneluies of the bending tarin bill, Is Vir- rinian hy birth and rearing. That IS. he was born in what is now Wess virginia, but when this briliian. ana forceful orator first saw the Hent oL day in Preston county not<far rom Morrantown and near the Pennsyi- vania line 1t was included In old Vlr- ginia. the State which was dismem- bered during the the bloody days ot the civil war to suit the political pur- poses of the Republican Party.
 If you ask the distinguished Senator the place of his nativity he will tell you like all who were born in the OH State T am a yirginian."
 No speech SO far this session has SO worried the Republican managers in Congress as that aimed at the New England and Pennsylvania combina- tion as that of Mir. Dolliver. In the minds of those who had the good for- tune to hear 1t and who have an in sight Into what is going on at the capital of tbe nation the idea is up- permost that Senator Deliver had two motives in making this dei'berats and carefully planned assault upon the measure. He has been q student of economic questions long enough to know that the arrangement of the woollen and cotton as well as many other schedules in the bill was ,arge- ly for the benefit of those who have created and are stilI trying to create monopoiies in this country
 Another thing, not only Senator Deliver, but many other Republican Senators out in the Northwest and the central West and the far West are aware. from all accounts. that the people are becoming so restless that they are grooming under the burdens of taxation caused by excessive tarin duties and by duties that are practi- cally prohibitive.
 SMr. Deliver and these other men, 4 according to common talk heard in Washington. are simply getting tired of having a few old-timers from the New England and Middle States dorn- hate absolutely legislation in the Senate end of the Capitol.
 They know also that the Republican Party in it's last national platform promised revision of the tarfff, and Deliver and those who think as he does, are insisting loudly that reyis- ion meant downward and not upward and that is undoubtedly the reason they are jabbing the knife into some of the pet pAojects quietly slipped in- to the bill by Senators Aidrich. Hale Lodge and the rest of the ultra pro- tectionists who do not appear to be able to see through any but New Eng land spectscies. u.
 Something of DoIIiver.
 Jonathan P. Deliver, who >on ac- count of his great speech Is being talked of from one end of the land to the other. came to Congress just twen- ty years ago as member of the Hodse of Representatives. He was then only 31 years of age. He had not long been in Iowa before his abil- ity was recognized. It was the first office he had ever held. It was the famous Fifty-first Congress which was elected the same year in which Ben- 3anfn Harrison was elected President Df the United States. There were many intellectual giants on both sides Of che House in that memorable Congress for 1t was then that Thomas B. Reed of Maine ran for the SpeakershiE against William Mckinley and was Successful In his light.
 Senator Deliver is the sen of s preacher Like so many sons oi preachers he was in his young man. of vicious habits DuringN>his initia term In the House he was made . member of the prominent commit}es on naval affairs. Tn the Fifty-fftF Congress. which was called together in extra session in March. 1887, by tho late President Mckinley. Deliver wal q member of the ways and means committee which framed the Dingley tarin bill. having been promoted to that committee during the previous Congress, which was an uncommon rise for young man of such brief service, but 1t showed that the veteran Republican legislators had discovered what was in the young man from the Hawkeye State.
 The Republicans on the ways and means committee at the time of the passage of the Dingley tariff law were Dingley, of Maine. chairman: Payne of New York. Dalzeil, of Pennsylvania Hopkins, of Illinois. Grosvenor. of Ohio Russell. of Connecticut. Doiliver of Iowa, Steele, of Indiana. Johnson. a, North Dakota, (now in the Senate) Evans of Kentucky and Tawney. oi
