Representative “Champ” Clark, of |
Mo., brought down the House by his |
retort to the assertion of Re presenta- |
tive Bromwell that Jeflerson stopped |
the coinage of silver and supported |
protection. Mr. Clark said: “That is
an historic lie. It ison a par with the
state ment that Madison was a Feder.
alist. The trouble js the histories are |
written by New England people.
There will never be any trath in his
tory until the Yankees quit writing
history and the southern people begin.” |
Representative Dolliver trod on |
some sore toes when he said in reply
to a Republican charge that the Dem-
ocrats were trying to delay the tariff
bill: “On the contrary, we are very
anxious to reach some of the schedules
of this bill before the final vote is tak-
en. We understand that there is an
incipient revolt over there among
some of the Republican members from
the prairie states who want lumber
