SILVER BILL.
Probabilities OF the Presidents
Veto Not Entertained.

WASHINGTON, February 1G.-It ia the
general opinion here to-day that the
President will not veto the Silver Bill,
as the majority in the Senate and House
| Is sufficient TO overcome the veto; besides
the President Is credited with sufficient
respect for the will Of the sovereign peo'
pie as not 10 interfere with what Is now
plainly their will, expressed through
their Representatives. The silver ma.
jority in the Senate turns out 10 be larger
than was calculated upon, and all hopes
OF defeating the measure by veto are
abandoned. The only object that o
veto could accomplish now would be
10 spread the Presidential objection on
record. But Il is not probable this will
be done. The President h@ observed the
constantly augmented swell OF the popu.
lar silver wave, and can only injure him,
self by opposing II without being Of any
service 10 the gold interest, as a Two.
thirds majority In both the Senate and
House is assured. Besides his Cabinet
are by no means q unit against silver
Eyarls, Key, Thompson and McCrary in
cline towards silver decidedly. Mr.. Key
thinks, however, that the popular expec
tation of benefit from the measure will
not be realized, nor will the harm ensue
that is predicted by the other side. The
country will roll along much As before.

ry--A Talk with President

WASHINGTON. February 1G.-It is pub

day, December 8, 1876, Mr.. Hewitt hat
an interview with President Grant, dur
ing which they talked over the political
situation, and President Grant expresse,
his views with great frankness. He had
doubts, he said as to the result in LouiSi

judgment that the Electoral vote Of thai
State should not be counted at all. He
was careful, howeyer,to impress upon Mr.
Hewitt that the decision Of this and all
kindred questions was wholly outside oi
the province OF the Executive. It be-
longed exclusively TO Congress. It wonld
be his duty, however, to see that the
decision, Whatever II might be, was
acquiesced In. II necessary, he would
enforce it. lie stated, also, that 1t was
his conviction that the Constitution gave
the President OF the Senate alone tue

result. Whoever might be declared Pres

he would see inaugurated and installed

fraud on tho government and places every
honest importer in duress. Litigation
and corruption are written all over Mr..
Woods bill. II only for It's phases OF
double and Of doubtful meaning. the bill
ought to be driven ont Of Congress under
the lash Of an indignant public opinion.
There is one other principle Of first
moment among the many which Mr..
Wood has de6ed; to.wit: That raw ma.
terial shall be as low as may be consistent
with the raising Of the revenues and the
interests oihome producers; and that the
manufactured article shall bear the bur.
den Of the tax and shield the home man.
ufacturer from the cheap. labor and cheap
capital Of foreign lands. Such raw ma.
ierial as is not produced in this country
It has been held wise public policy TO
admit free or at comparatively low
duty. Now, Mr.. Wood takes 1t upon
himself to reverse this principle abso.
lutely. The raw material which
has not been taxed, he taxes; on
that which has paid 8 small
duty, be puts a heavy duty. When he
reaches the manufactured product Of this
raw material he whittles down the duty,
impairs the revenues aud wipes the
American manufacturer out OF existence.
No matter what may have been his de.
sign, the effect remains. The leading in.
dustries OF this country-those industries
which have been builtup at vast expense
and are but now getting a firm focihold
on our soil-are the special objects Of
Mr.. Woods displeasure. lie seems to
have cast his eye over the land
and selected for slaughter those
branches Of industry which con-
tribute most to our prosperity and
which have most Of future promise in
them. We might, and probably shall
hereafter, show the countless instances
in which Mr.. Wood has declared him.
self to be, and sought TO put his party on
record as, the sworn enemy Of American
industry. The single blow which he
would strike at this valley stamps him as
dangerous man 10 tamper with 40
serious matter "a the tariff law. Ifhe
shall be able 10 force 1t through
Congress the pail Of smoke which
hangs over a busy people would pass
away, and the shining sun would fall on
such scene Of ruin, want and desolation
as God forbid shall ever be our lot.
There is nothing in Mr.. Woods bill to
improve on; it begins with bad and runs
rapidly 10 worse. It was conceived in a
dark corner, and Is blurred and blolched
with original sin beyond the hope Of re-
demption. To save its own life, this
country must kill that bill. We want no
high crime against the American people
enacted into statute law.
