The wool tariff, which was passed by the
House last July and which passed the
Senate yesterday, is generally regarded as
a sharp business for Western interests at
the expense of the East. The West gets
this protection without an bargain to vote
for Eastern interests, as has been the case
heretofore, and the strength of general
tariff may be regarded as weakened, to the
extent that these interests have thus far
worked together.

of John A. Dix, Minister at Paris, and

The President of the Senate tonight laid
before that body a communication from the
