WASHINGTON, 5ULY %, 1896
The Tarif-Ihe Army Of Occnpation-Ihs Che
rokees.
The tariff bill, to-day, was discussed by Messrs
Upham, of Vermont, and Simmons, of Rhode
Island both, of course, strongly in opposition to
the schedules of Gen. Mckay. The Passiveness
of the advocates of the new bill was rather more
passive to-day than usual The casting vote of
the Vice President, in favor of the printing Of the
tariff petitions reported back adversely from the
printing committee, is, by some, regarded as oml-
nous OF his decision upon the bill itself though
we confess we see no stable presumption IN Tins
incidental! vote, to a conclusion upon the great
decision between 30 per cent. or II per cent upon
cold iron. The opinion, that the House bill VIII
be eviscerated materially if not entirely defea'ed
independent Of the vote of the Vice President, -
however SO far from being abandoned, conn
IDENTIFY relied upon by tie tariff men, While the
free traders were anxious for the final acuon, we
were dubious of the final result. We bold to the
opinion, that the chances are IN favor Oh orect,
or indirect, defeat OF the scheme.
In the interim, the warehouslng bill Is held IN
allowance in the House. Gen. Mckay's solcitude
for the tariff is such, that he considers the whole
chain OF administrative measures VIII De ineuec-
tive without il, and if the bill Of reductions Is re-
iected by the Senate, the warehouslng scheme,
as q collateral measure, will scarcely be lifled
from the table.
