Dolliver’s Lively Tariff Speech Dominates House Debate
Washington March 24. In a day of sharp tariff clashes the Iowa congressman Dolliver delivered a masterful speech that drew sustained laughter and applause. He attacked the Wilson tariff, cited 10,000,000 sheep slaughtered and 80,000,000 pounds of wool displaced, and urged prosperity through private enterprise rather than edicts. The session also featured exchanges over civil service reform with Gorman and others, plus action on South Omaha removals and flood relief tents.
