 Washington, October 17.-(special.)- The death of Senator Deliver of Iowa has caused a demand for the late sena- tors speeches against the tariff which the democratic congressional committee finds itself unable to supply. Already the committee has sent the speech broadcast over the country, no less than 600, 600 copies having been printed shortly after the adjournment of Congress. Few speeches have been more In demand, and the death of the senator has caused a flood of telegrams. yesterday and today, carrying more requests for the late sen- ator's attack on the tariff bill framed by his party.
 The committee has given rush orders for 100000 additional copies. Should the demand continue 1t is estimated that fully 100000 copies could be disposed of. There is not time remaining before the election to have enough copies printed to fill or ders. The Deliver speech was probably the severest arraignment of the Payne Aldrich act made by either democrat or republican Goaded by the criticism of his colleagues and the republican press, the senator took the floor at the last ses- sion to defend his votes against the new tariff. For several days he held the floor and protested against the manner in which he had been assailed by Speaker Cannon and his followers. His analysis of the several schedules of the tariff bill are the most complete in the Congress sional Record. Here are a few para graphs in the Deliver speech.
 Silent Too Long
 If those of us who found 1t 'inconsist- ent with our sense of duty to make the republican support of the tariff act of 1909 unanimous have made any mistake, it is that we have remained silent too long while concerted defamation of our political character has been set on foot, proceeding from the highest public off, cers of the government, executive and legislative, and from a congressional campaign committee, presided over by a multi-miliionaire promoter of street car franchises, with treasury filled with rotten money, out of which is floating a choice assortment of vest-pocket litera- ture. much of 1t bearing the mark of the bureau of engraving and printing. and a muddy stream of parasitic eloquence."

 High Tarin Rates
 "Such an analysis of the Payne-Ald- rich tariff, schedule by schedule, and item by item, together with careful dissection of the Winona table, prepared for the purpose of proving that real and substantial downward revision, had been accomplished should convince anyone that so far as the public is concerned the tariff resivion in fact carries rates as high or higher than the Dingley tariff law on most articles of general use in their finished condition. Most of the re- auctions were so trivial as to be redic- ulous, and were either upon articles which we do not import to any extent, but on the contrary export in enormous quantities, or were for the purpose of further protecting the manufacturers es- pecially, by reducing the duties on raw materials, while most of the rates on finished products were either kept at the Dingley tariff standard or were in creased. In fact, a careful scrutiny of the particular items that were changed and the exact 'trifling change of rate in each looks like real revision down. ward.
