Speaker Clark
 Defends Tariff
SAYS BUSINESS HoLDuP IS DUE
 TO PRUDENCE.
ASSAILS REPUBLICANS
Charges Them With Being Calamity HowIers"-Mann Calls Attention to the Number of Unemployed

Washington, Dec 1S-Speaker Clark left his chair in the house today to challenge the patriotism of calamity bowling" republicans, after Minority Leader Mann had made a speech pie turing the country in the throes of business and industrial depression as a result of democratic tariff legisla- tion. As the greatest calamity howl CTS in America" the Speaker present. ed Senator Root of New York, former Speaker Cannon, Chairman Hilles of the republican national committee, former Governor Hadley of Missouri and Representative Mann.
 Business HoIdup Due to Prudence.
 igorously defending the new tariff law, MT Clark declared that if there had been any holdup of business it was simply because prudence was be- ing exercised. He said the wish was the father of the thought with the republican leaders and suggested that it was strange that no one else had seen signs of falling prices. These men, continued Speaker Clark, pro pose to get into<the newspapers every day, that the country is going to the dogs and business is going to the deuce and people that never thoufiht of a panic will begin to study about it. By all thinking men this will be con sidered a monstrous and unpardonable performance"
 Men Unable to Find Work.
 Representative Mann had painted 8 gloomy picture of the country under the democratic tariff and the threat of political control, of banking and currency. Throughout the country today" he said, wherever men are congregated there is that quiet dis cussion going on which, when cold weather strikes the country will end in a. roar and a howl that will even penetrate the ears of the deaf states men on the democratic side of the aisle Men with wives and children, willing to work who were at work three months ago. are now seeking the opportunity. The president could do much today towards reviving con fidence if he would. The democratic side of the house could do much but they are pursuing the fatuous policies which they have talked about on the stump so many years. We are not Justified in keeping silence on the sit uatfon."
