BAILEY cHIDEs BRYAN.
On The Question Of Recent Tariff De-
clarations.

Fort Worth, Texas. Oct. United
States Senator Joseph W. Bailey, re-
plying TO recent tariff declarations Of
William J. Bryan, took Mr.. Bryan to
task last night in q speech for asser-
tions accredited to him in his address at
III Paso a week ago.
In his recent address, MIR Bailey de-
clared, Mr. bryan asserted that the only
reform attempted in the tariff was
while the Democrats quarreled among
Themselves for protection of the indus
tries ID their respective districts. Mr..
Bailey described this assertion as ~
terrible Indictment Of the Democratic
party that would be used by Republic
can speakers in the next campaign
The senator declared the Indictment
almost mendacousg and said that with
single exception Senator McEnerys
of louisiana every Democrat IN the
Senate had voted for lower duties than
We're proposed in The Republican bill,
about which Senator Cnmmius Of Iowa,
declared that, bad as il was. Il was bet
ter than any bill the Democrats could
make.
Senator Bailey maintained that equal
distribution oi the burdens Of the gov
ernment was sound Democratic doctrine
and declared lie would not vote to take
the tax OIL that which the manufacturer
buys While taxing that which the
manufacturer sells; but he would vote
TO reduce that tax TO a revenue basis.
This Is declared TO be the doctrine Of
true Democracy.
