SPONDENCE.


Senator Dolliver of Iowa. He meant {
that he would never again raise his
voice, either in the Senate of the
United States or from the stump, in
defense of excessive protection.
81 do not PROPOSE" declared Dolli-
yer, that the remaining years of my
life shall be given up in dull consent
to the success of all these contingen-
cies intend to fight as a Republi-
can for free market on this CONT
nent.
In other words, the mighty Dollt.
is conscience stricken. He stands ap-
that have been visited upon the Re
public and people by system which
he advocated with his own voice.
His eyes opened, Dolliver was cour-
ageous enough to say: 81 am through
with it" That is why his speech will
live in history, because he said II am
through with it."
The philosophy of the Iowan, in
itself, was not new, any more than
were his statements that Congress,
in passing the Payne-Aldrich bill, was
dominated by the tariff trusts. Dem
ocrats have told the same story time
and again. Dolliver has merely in
dorsed the Democratic viewpoint,
which is that excessive protection
robs the many for the few.
Senators regard the Dolliver speech
as the most impressive oratory the
Senate has listened to in many years.
4 1t will take rank among the foremost
Examples of American eloquence.
i ;Dolliver analysed the cotton and
wool schedules of the Payne-Aldrich
law, revealing as he went along, the
!, fraud, injustice and jugglery which
4 will force the people to pay outra-
geously high prices for the necessa-
!, ries of life.
He also, pointed out how the Presi;
dent had aided in the effort to de-
i ceive the public as to the true char,
acter OF the law.
What farce to send men around
i talking about the rule OF the majority
Numbered Dolliver, when. the most
! important business of the people has
come down to the bargain counter
and men are authorized to say: This
is the citadel of protection; IL any
b of you have constituents that wars
anything, come here; we are the
dispensing power; support what We
n want, and take anything you thinl
you need" and the man who does no
like it, and has no stomach for thu
) fight, is rec Tested to depart.
"If that is to- be the continued prac
= tice of the government of the Unitet
q States, think it would be better 70
nearly everybody to depart"
