Ne apprehsnd, from The radical Senate, lsss

This bill which the radical Senate dared
not pass. Vas passed In The Hssss with the
aid Of The member from this congressional
district. It may Be that the people Of this
State and district are friendly to . high
tariff, but we very much doubt whether
they are thus blind 10 their own interests.
Should they want this bill Of abeminations
to finally become law, no doubt ths re-
turn OF these gentlemen to the seats they
now occupy. will contribute % that end
Should they not, however. II is equally Ger.

largely contribute 70 prevent that result.
II may b that devotion 10 the real or
