LIVES AND LEARNS
SENATOR DoLLIVER OF IOWA Elk
PLAINS HIS POSITION ON
TARIFF BILL.
CONDITIONS HAVE CHANGED
A New Era In Which Enlightened
Public Opinion Ought to be the
Real Government Of the
United states.

Washington, D. c., May. 5.-Notable
speeches provoking debate Of intense
interest characterized the session Of
the senate yesterday. Senator Dol
liver of Iowa made an attack upon the
methods under which protective tarifi
bills are formed and engaged in a con-
slant exchange of words with Senator
Aldrich who was a careful listener to
the address of the Iowa senator. On
the Democratic side senators remain
ed mute, no member Of the minority
interposing a word in the controversy
over the tariff which occupied the
Republican senators alone. At times
this debate threatened to be acrimOni'
Gus, but the Iowa senator was ever
ready with Q humorous retort which
called forth laughter at times when
angry words seemed unavoidable.
"If speak the truth" said Mr.. Dol
liver, "if | deal with things as they
are, l suggest to the senator from
Rhode Island that It will not be an
adequate answer to reproach me with
the errors Of my youth or to dispar-
age me because in other years l fol-
lowed without question in the foot
steps Of our party leaders. II, In
times past, / took, without disturbing
the public peace, every act Of the
party, It was because / loved It; be-
cause the young man Of that day
found it q good deal easier to idalize
It than they sometimes find It now.
I speak here because | still love the
old Republican party, and would have
its leadership rise to the full statute
Of Its opportunity and its responsible
ity." Referring TO q recent exchange
Of words in the senate between him

spent almost his entire life in Wall
street. His friends call him ticket

A mathematical wag has made up
some figures in an attempt to show to
the unsophisticated just how big Haw'
leys year profits were. He says that
if the $12,0o0,000 were all in silver
dollar cartwheels they would weigh
S59,315 pounds.
The wag would have the big pile d.
vided up into 150-pound lots. There
would be $2,094.50 to each lot. He
would load each 150-pound lot into a
wheelbarrow. How many wheelbar-
rows would be required?
Only $3.50! Now, if men pushed
these wheclbarrows in single file and
were careful to walk eight feet apart,
there would be a procession of silver
bearing wheelbarrows eight miles

A deeper problem than the wheel

required for man to earn $12,000000
