I" Congress cannot agree upon Tariff" This
is deliberate and wanton mny-Cohgrcss has

is the basis and staple Of the Journals insdous
and deadly stabs ct the Wings. There is no srou-

been insugated and backed by advisers Of the

high-handed step of vetoing Revenue Bill. And

no government interference are curing all evils
"if Congress and the Politicians will only let as
:" alone, all will speedily come right" This was
the tune as long as 1t seemed probable that new
Tariff would be enacted. But now Congress has
bscn stopped by Veto; there is reason to appre-
bend that no Tariff can become law; and the
Wings can be most eiectually injured by going
strong for a Tariff and throwing dust in the eve.
