A roar of laughter went up when
Mr.. Cushman conceded with a state
ment by Mr.. Clark that had IL NOT
been for the tariff on lumber the
whole Northwest would have gone
Democratic.
Mr.. Clark, amid great Democratic
applause closed with a reiteration of
MS statement that the Payne bill, in
stead of lowering the Dingfey rates.
raised them. He was on his feet five
hours and seven minutes.
A general attack on the protective
policy Of the Republicans wa. made
oy Mr.. Adamson (Ga.). What they
called protection, he said, simply
meant fixing duties so high as to
deny all markets of the world to the
people of the United States and de-
prive them of the opportunity to sell
10 all the world their multi-millions
of wealth, on which they could NOT
realize on account of the tariff wall
erected.

10 discuss the tariff with President
Taft before the bill was reported Mr.
cannon admitted that he went there
at the invitation of the president. but
denied that the tariff was discussed
or II 1t was, he did not know it. Mr..
'ahntn took occasion 20 remark thu.
u" rarely corrected mis-, representation
but 1T seemed in the present instance
ne could do so with propriety.
In former "Hars, he declared, he
had sat in the chair and on the floor
ana heard Misrepresentation
abounding in absolute falsehoods
that have been taken for granted by
the undertaking newspapers and even
in the Democratic platform"
Mr.. Clark protested that he was not
trying to misrepresent the speaker:
II sometimes think" suavely re-
Piled Mr.. Cannon, that perhaps he is
not as clear as to the matter of the
difference between the suggestion of
that which is error and the letting
alone of that which is truth as ho
might have been in discussing the
public questions touching the reve-
nues."
Resuming his argument, Mr.. Clark
announced that If given the opportu-
nifty he would vote to put boots and
shoes on the free list "and," he said.
they can below about free traders
as much as they please"
Never, he said would the tariff be
taken off boots and shoes unless il
was done when IT was taken off hides
Mr.. Clark predicted that when the
senate got through with cutting and
carving the Payne bill, Mr.. Payne
would not recognize MS own child
when he met it in the road. ''The |
senators over there" he said. "are |
engaged right now in making a tariff |
Dill of their own" He maintained |
that the senate will strike out all af-
ter the enacting clause. When the bill |
reached conference it would be dog
days and the weather would be so
disagreeable in Washington that fell
lows will vote for any kind of bill to
get out of town."
Mr.. Clark declared himself unoual
ihedly In favor of free lumber.

he said, Some Of you hope he will
never come back. But nv regret Is
that he left at all because If he had
stayed here you would have been in
such row within 80 days that you
would not know whether you were
Republicans or Democrats" Mr..
clark said he sat in the house yester-
day and heard Mr.. Payne say he had
been In the house 20 years preparing
tariff bills. my God!" he exclaimed,
what set Of lies he must have
heard in that time"
Mr.. Clark read some comparisons
between the Dingley and Payne bills
proposed by government expert in
the committee. These. he said, show
ed that the average rate Of the Ding
ley bill was 44.16 per cent, while
under the Payne bill It was 1872 per
cent. Showing 1.56 per cent. worse
than the Dingley bill" He declared
that no man Of bad temper or blus-
Ter could conceal that fact from the
American people. Many Of the re-
ductlons in the bill, he maintained.
were more apparent than rca,.
Discussing the reduction on refined
sugar, Mr.. Clark said it was held out
as great boon 20 the consumer.
when the sugar trus: received that
tremendous blow between tn. eyes,"
he said, instead of seeing stars it
saw stream of gold flowing into its
coners every year of the continuance
of the Payne tariff bill. He declared
that man must eat sugar at top
speed for Is months to find a nickel
In his pocket at the end Of that time
as the result Of any benefit that
might accrue to him from the bill.
and If he missed day he would not
get the nickel. He could not under
stand. he said, why such tenderness
was shown the sugar trust which he
as a criminal.
If, Mr.. Clark said, the Standard Oil
Company was not, as he believed, the
sole beneficiary under the bill, he
would not object to the crude oil pro-
ducers getting a revenue tariff.

ATTACKS the TARIFF BILL.
CLARK ANSWERS MAJORITY
CHIEFTAIN'S ARGUMENT.
Declares New Creation of Republi-
cans Is Worse Than the Dingley
Protective Wall.

Washington. March 24.-Interes,
In today's tariff discussion in the
house centred in. IL e speech of Mr..
Clark (Mo.), minority leader and
ranking Democratic member Of the
committee on ways nd means.
As a preliminary t. his set speech.
MT. Clark provoked the house to
great laughter and Mr.. Olmsted
(Pa.), the chairman. t. no little en-
oarrassment by congra tulating him
on the advent yesterday of a son.
For Mr.. Payne the minority leader
had only words of praise md his re-
marks in that connection elected ap-
plause on both sides. Mr.. Payne's
powers Of endurance, he declared,
were marvel, and his nine hours
speech on the tariff had made him a
great historical person. Indeed"
said Mr.. Clark. "he has knocked
higher than kite the idiotic theory
OF DR.. Osler. The speech of the ma
1ority leader he characterized as a
superb vindication of his physical and
mental strength.
Mr.. Clark also had a kind word for
every member of the committee on
ways and means 1--WE worked like
galley slaves in trying to ascertain
the truth" he said. He denied that
the committee had bullyragged any
witness. as he said had been charged,
and declared that If any witness had
received an indecent word in the
committee room he had provoked it
by his own acts.
Mr.. Clark said that at the bottom
or the movement for tariff revision
was President Roosevelt. II never
had any delusions about that man."
he said amid shouts OF laughter. "He
is gone." he said in mimic tones Of
sorrow. Addressing thS Republicans

somebody else to take It.
This was Senator Smiths second
talk with the President. He was at
the White House last week, and at
that time the President told him to
return for an extended review. This
morning. before the meeting Of the
Cabinet. the conference took place.
There has been complaints that
the selection Of men by Capers for
positions In this state have been un-
satisfactory. and II is no secret that
In the appointment Of Mr.. z. w. Du-
Rant. Jr., to succeed Crum as collec-
tor OF the port OF Charleston, the
wishes of Capers were ignored as far
as learned
From the Presidents talk with Mr..
Smith II II freely inferred that some
OF the Republicans who have been
recommended for places in South
Carolina have not met with ap-
proval Of Mr.. Taft. and that at least
one or two Democrats may be ex-
pected to hold Federal Offices In the
State. This is exactly In line with
the Presidents repeated promises to
southerners that he would make II a
point to select for office among them
only men who would command the
respect and the attention Of their
communities. This means that none
OF the Republican candidates for the
Florence Office will land. and that the
place will go either to c. p. Berry, or
some other Democrat.
