The following is a part oí ex-(Jongressrnau John De Witt Warner's criticism of the Dingley bill: "As it stands the most brilliant part of the pending performance consists in eating the words of the same actors in the Fifty-first congress. The McKinley bill of that date was virtually entitled 'a bill to reduce revenues. ' The Dingley billissperiallycommended as a revenue getter. The McKinley bill pointed -with pride to the poor man 's f ree breakfast table. The Dingley bill puts upon sugar - a single item of the breakfast table - one-third of the total amount of the tariff tax proposed. The items which are supposed to help the farmer are good examples of so setting your trap as to 'cotch 'em a-curuin and a-gwine. ' For instance, we have reciprocity in order to give the farmers a rnarket abroad for what it is assumed they cannot produce for home consumption unless they are highly protected, as is done by another section of the bill."
