CHIPS FROM A REPUBLICAN AXE

On Monday, June 13, Hon. Jona-
than P. Dolliver, of Iowa, made a
remarkably strong speech in the
senate of the United States, in
which he deplored the low estate to
which the trusted leaders of the
republican party had fallen and
showed up the swindle and sham of
the Payne-Aldrch tariff law. Below
are a few statements found in the
great speech:
Il was born in the republican
party-down among the loyal
mountains of Virginia. | think |
know what its articles of faith arc.
From my youth | have poured
over the pages of its history and
found inspiration in all of its high
traditions. | have followed its
great leaders and sought direction
in the wisdom of their counsel"
There is no longer in the republican
party that freedom of conscience
and judgment and opinion that once
made the party strong and mighty
in the confidence of the American
people
What sort of degeneration has
come to the republican party that
the speaker of the house of repre-
s%entatives before a great public
assemblage should refer to some Of
his colleagues as traitors fit not to
be shot, but to be hanged"
What has come over the re-
publican party that freedom of
debate and opinion have suddenly
become infamous within its ranks"
THE rev terms of fellowship in
the republican party have been pre-
scribed and hereafter members of
congress are to be given a very
narrow choice in the exercise of
their respective functions-the
choice of either under-stud es or
shmalites."
In common with good citizens
every where, | share the universal
disgust which has arisen on seeing
the great executive departments,
those departments which touch the
business Of the nation most init
matcly, made a headquarters for
the awkward squad for politics.
bucketshops for dealing in political
futures upon margins calculated
daily from the record of the yeas
and nays"
The past year witnessed two
events of unusual INTEREST," the
discovery Of the north pole by DR..
Cook and the revision of the tariff
downward by the senator from
Rhode Island-each in its way a
unique hoax, and both promptly
presented to the favorable notice
of the public by the highest official
congratulations"
IAN analysis of the Payne-Aldrich
tariff, schedule by schedule, should
convene anyone that so far as the
public is concerned the tariff re-
vision in fact carries rates ms high
