Waterloo, Oct. 17-Secretary Oh
State Bryan, accompanied by con-
gressman Maurice Connolly, arrived
from Dubuque promptly at $3.50 this
morning. and this afternoon he will de-
liver the first message to the American
people from the democratic administra-
ton before the Waterloo congress. In
an interview given the press this
morning the secretary predicted that
the new tariff law will lower the cost
of living bring substantial benefits to
the customer and remove for genera
tions the fear that has been excited be-
fore each election by the advocates OF
protection"
Mr., Bryan further declared that the
passage Of the currency bill Is certain
and that only the money trust" and
not the legitimate banker has anything
to fear from the measure.
Refers to Currency Bill.
The secretay Indicated a willingness
to talk only when his attention was
directed to former Senator Aldrich's
criticism Of the pending currency bill.
"Nr. Aldrich pays high compli-
ment to the currency bill before the
senate when he says 1t is different
from the Aldrich measure" he said.
"His bill was intended to make sure
the Wall street control Of the finances
Of this country.
"The pending bill IS intended to free
the country from the control Of the
money trust. and. of course. 1t could
not be expected to have the indorse-
ment Of Mr.. Aldrich. The bill is good
enough. however, to have the support
of every democrat In congress except
three. and of twenty-four republicans
and fourteen progressive republicans.
1.-THE bill IL popular among the people
generally. 1T - popular among the
business men. It Is popular among the
small bankers and. unpopular only with
men like Aidrich and the high hnan-
ciers."
Clarke Defends Capitol Extension.
Governor George w. Clarke ana
Lieutenant Governor William L. Hard
ing addressed the visitors Of the state
dairy association and dairy cattle con-
gress in this city yesterday. Governor
Clarke defended the last general as
sembly which passed the capitol ex-
tension bill and urged the people or
Iowa to- familiarize themselves with
conditions at the, capitol.
He told Of the crowded condition IN
the capitol building and Of the neces-
sity for providing room for the new
departments created during the past
few sessions Of the legislature.
~The state dairy and food depart
ment is now housed in a dilapidated
old building that Is a disgrace to this
great state Of Iowa." said the gov
ernor. Other departments have been
forced to seek quarters in the base
ment and committee rooms. from
which places they are ousted with
each session Of the legislature he said.
He answered the opponents to the
proposed extension by saying that no
bills have ever passed the Iowa legis-
lature with more mature deliberation
by the members than the capitol ex-
tension bill.
