ing and the same is true of his talk
Senator Tillman, speaking on the
tariff, dictated the following state,
ment to newspaper men:
II think the last election hinged
on, and that the Democrats were conf
missioned by the people to revise the
tariff, because the Republicans had
failed to reduce it as they promised
"If the House of Representatives
doesn't carry out this policy it Will
be great disappointment to the peo-

business interests of the country.

office at ALL It is, therefore, dith

judgment to keep clear Of the rocks
''If the House of Representatives
which is Democratic for the first time
in a long while, passes a tariff law
and the Senate rejects that tariff law
this bill will become the issue CT
which the next Presidential election
will turn.
