Washington, d. c.. June Ex-senator
Dolliver of Iowa answered the critics
of insurgurents today in a speech de-
livered i'm the senate during the dis
cussion for the provision for the sun
dry appropriated bill providing $3.50
600 to enable the president To gather
information hearing upon the opera
ton OF the new tariff law.
Senator Clay's motion to strike out
the provision was lost by party vote
of l3 to A.
Mr. Dolliver and his fellow pro-
gressives voted with the regular re-
publicans The sundry civil bill car
rying appropriations aggregating s11S.-
100000 then was passed.
Mr. Delivers speech attracted great
interest and was listened to attentiVely
by senator's on both sides of the cham
ber 1t vas the reply of the insur
gents To the charges of party dis
loyalty and was a direct challenge To
their opponents. Mr.. Dolliver de
clared that there was no longer any
freedom of conscience or opinion. such
as had made the republican party
strong.
Referring briefly to Speaker Can
mons statement that insurgents
should be hanged" he declared he
would not let that remark be taken
seriously
Discussing The presidents course
towards the insurgents. Mr. Dolliver
declared they We're not playing for
popularity as had been charged and.
speaking of his personal relations to
the president. he declared he had never
done anything disloyal to the admin
stration. such a charge does me the
greatest injustice" he said. Il did
what / could to promote his candidacy
for the presidency.
Il notify all parties that / have no
intention of leaving the republican
party" he said. II is not necessary
for me to swallow every tariff bill and
il would be impossible to get me out
of the party on such charges. 1t can
not be done by lying about me or call
ing me names, such as free trader or
democrat Least of all. can il be
done by taking from my neck the mill
stone of political patronage share
the universal distrust of making
great executive department the head
quarters of the awkward squad of po-
iitics"
Mr.. Dolliver said it was true the re
publican platform did not promise to
revise the tariff downward and if that
promise had been made il would have
been easy to comply with it by reduc-
ing the duties on articles protected by
patents or controlled by the interna
tional trusts
Mr. Dolliver asserted that it was a
strategic mistake to circulate the pre-
sidents Winona speech with his Lin
coin day address as they were con-
Trajectory in terms. The president had
given entirely different reasons in the
two speeches for considering the
Payne law The best ever enacted"
said the Iowa senator. He declared
that the tariff was being bolstered up
by bogus figures.
Last year witnessed two important
hoaxes." continued Mr. Dolliver. the
discovery of the north pole by DR. Cook
and the revision of the tariff down
ward by Senator Aldirch."
When the laughter that greeted his
remark had died away he added that
executive Fluctuations had been ten
dered upon both occasions. Speaking
of the opposition the insurgents had
aroused by failing to vote for the
Payne bill Mr.. Dolliver said this dere-
LECTION was due to their belief that it
failed to fulfill the party pledges.
COntending that the policy OF al
lowing interested men to revise the
tariff was wrong. Mr.. Dolliver as
serted that while the president under
stood that principle his idea of it was
"foggy'
After quoting that part of the speech
in which the president upheld Aldrich
and Payne. he said those who stood
for individual and class interests were
being sustained while the little group
of men who have stood for the rights
of the public are to be kicked out
After stating that Mr. Aldrich had
made a plea for the protection of rub
ber in the interests of the rubber tire
industry. the Iowa senator said it sub
sequently had been ascertained that
these concerns were multiplying their
wealth bv rapid strides
Il am through with it, I shall stand
here and fight it," he said. but | will
do it as a republican. | do not care
for any political fame. I have worked
for the public for forty five years and
I do not propose that my remaining
years shall be given up to dull con-
sent to those conspiracies that would
rob the people to multiply private
wealth"
Mr.. Dolliver closed with an express
