TARIFF REVISION.

The Boston Advertiser has called out
letters from several prominent Congress
men Of both parties as to the necessity Of
immediate tariff revision. Senator Dawes
has no doubt that the internal taxes
could be safely reduced 800, 600, 600,
and that the tariff could be as much re.
duced "by a proper adjustment between
free raw material and dutiable manutac-
lures. so that American industries would
be stronger for the revision
Senator Frye IS in favor Of working
hard and steadily for immediate tariff
revision. Senator Harrison is Of the same
opinion, and thinks that ''uo time should
be lost after Congress assemblies in bring.

should be no time lost during the holt
days by adjournment. and that the
threatened Democratic opposition should
be developed and overcome by quiet but
persistent adherence to the work sug-
gested.'

Sherman holds that ait is very important
that the Republicans of the present
Congress should. dc their utmost to Sc

taxation and to remove the inequalities
and imperiections Of the present law.
Several other members of both Houses
and both parties agree substantially in the
~desirability Of immediate, earnest and
continuous action on Tariff revision.

people, will really do something to re-
