A SPECIAL to the Courier Journal says the
reason the prOtectionists want to shut down de-
bate on tariff in the house is because theV can-
not curb all the republicans. II the democtatic
party Is split up over the tariff to some extent,
cannot bring their party down TO
standing for q high old tariff. There are repuD'
licans who have similar views 10 lhoSe VI Mr
Carlisle, and they want to express them. Mr.
Dunnell of Minnesota, in making prsellcaily y
free trade speech in the house Yesterday stlrred
up the republican managers Iney ate " Rmt es
thara are other republicans who
are ready and primed to speak

debate They see that many such speeches as
DuHnelrs will rip them all up on the tarlll. nc
democrats will If wise see 70 u una. tnert Is U

something. In agitation IS the Ohly l9riolI
chance to accomplish anything except delay al
