Washington, D. C, May. 6. Notable
speeches provoking debate of intense
interest characterized the session of
the senate yesterday. Senator Dol
liver of Iowa made an attack upon the
methods under which protective tariff
bills are formed and engaged In a con
stant exchange of words with Senator
Aldrlch who was a careful listener to
the address of the Iowa senator. On
the Democratic side senators remain
ed mute, no member of the minority
Interposing a word in the controversy
over the tariff which occupied the
Republican senators alone. At times
this debate threatened to be acrimoni
ous, but the Iowa senator was ever
ready with humorous retort which
called forth laughter at times when
anxry words seemed unavoidable.
"'If I speak the truth," said Mr. Dol-
liver, "If I deal with things as they
are, I suggest to the senator from
Rhode Island that It will not be an
adequate answer to reproach me with
the errors of my youth or to dispar
age me because in other years I fol
lowed without Question in the foot
steps of our party leaders. If, in
times past, I took, without disturbing
the public peace, every act of the
party. It was because I loved It; be
cause the young man of that day
found It a good deal easier to ldallzs
it than they sometimes find It now.
I speak here because I still love the
old Republican party, and would have
Its leadership rise to the full statute
of Its opportunity and Its responsibil
ity." Referring to a recent exchange
of words In the senate between him
self and Senator Aldrlch, Mr. Dolllver
said "If the senator from Rhode Island
intended to humiliate me by the inti
mation that my course In these me
ters is dictated by political conditions
at home, he unintentionally pays me a
compliment which I sincerely appre
ciate, because this nation has entered
upon a new era of direct responsinu-
ity on the part of presidents aad con
gresses alike to that enlightened
ubllc ODlakm .whkh ought to be the
real government of ' the United
States."
"Is it possible that a man. because
tie voted for the Allison tin-plate rate
of 1889 and heard poor McKlnley dedi
cate the first tin-plate mill In America,
can be convicted In this chamber of
treachery to the protective tariff sys
tem, If he desires that schedule re
examined, after seeing the feeble en
trprlse of 1890 grown within a single
decade to the full measure ol this mar
ket place, organized Into great cor
porations, over capitalized into a
speculative trust, and at length, un
loaded on the United States Steel
company, with a rake off to the pro
moters sufficient to buy the Rock It-
land system? If a transaction like
that has made no impression upon the
mind of congress, I expose no secret
In saying that it hat made a very pro
found Impression on the thought and
purposes of the American people.
"I repeat, therefore, what I said the
other day, that the duty of this con
gress Is to reduce the margin of pro
tection provided In the Dlngley rates
wherever It can be done without sub
stantial Injury to the productive en
terprise! of this market place. It is
our special duty to take up those
schedules which represent the largest
Investments of protected capital and,
at least, take out of them the rates
that are now everywhere known to be
extravagent and unnecessary, which
rise so far above the level of our real
industrial needs as to bring the policy
of protection Into ridicule without do
ing anybody any sort of good."
