Is THE TARIFF IN DANGERi
The following s extract of private Letter from,
Washington to the Editor Of the N. York Tribune:
HOUSE, OF RHpREsENTAriyrs,)
X EPR sENTATIvEs,
March IA. 1874


March IA, 1874
My Dear Sr:--T perceive from The Tribune that
you express the opinion and encourage the people tn
believe that there is probability Of the pnrsuge Of
the 'i'atf bill pending heinre the House, My own
belief that thu bill will be arrested in the Senate but
many of friends apprehend more danger than you
to suppose. In the first place there is doubt
the bill will pass the House II il ingeniUusy drawn
as a party measure, and MIR Vim Ruren's men are
committed to go for IT, In framing the bill, Mckay
was in constant consultation with Wright, jenon and
Others; and nne of the Committee informs there
is doubt that Mr. Wright ia the principal amhur Of
the Report lts passage is the prize stipulated the
South for the support Of MIR Van Buren,. The spe-
ci6c Duties unuianu iactured Iron ond Sugar are
intended u prcpiiiate Pennsyl vania and ou-iana
We will snppose the bill TO have passed the House
and reached the Senate. MIR Wright will vote FOR il
and possibly the Senators from Penn<, lvana. Sup
pose three or four Southern Wings should desert US
in this extrernty-whnt would be the result? | de-
clare to you my belief that the majority in the Sem
ate will stand united and compact in opposition the
bill. At'the same time, the possibility Of danger is
sufficient to Justify some alarm; and instead of
couragng sense OF security, You will call upon the
people 10 rally, rcmonstrnte and avert the danger.
W. have never intended to favor the impression
that the Tariff would be saved without effort on the
par, of the Peopls-we have believed that it would
be saved because the People would rally around and
preserve it. Trse, seems to us Incredible that tho
Pennsylvania Senators should vote for this BILL but
what will not do for the sake Of Party p
And Siias Wright, too, whose vote was claimed ns
having passed this Tariff which vote was especially
approved by one Of Mr. Van Buren's Syracuse Con.
