THE FRONT.
Hurd, of Ohio, Gives his Views the
Tariff Ouestion-The Chinese to BE Cor
ralle d-some Bills That Are Intended to
BE Presented To-Day.
Especial Telegram to the Globe. I

senator Is Mr.. kenna, of West Virginia,
aged thirty five. The question of interest
is what is bringing the young men to the
front in 1iiti3s. An eZ3mInation of the
faces Of representatives as they sit at
their &c will show thai the
largest pro- ,tion of young men is with
the Democrat. Said Republican who
studies politics attentively." zone OF my
principal fears for The future arises from
the visible fact that the young Democrats
are asserting themselves. They are taking
control of the party,REd that means an OF
position to Us of decision and aggres-
sion. The old Democrats have been made
timid by frequent defeats. They are
afraid to take positive stand and their
Vacilla!ing course has helped
the Republicans to many a
victory, lat these youngsters are
now crowding the ola felIows to the rear,
and their influence IS felt already. Why,
just look; the young element has captured
about all the Offices OF the house. The
old fogies were beaten oat of their boots,
and teIlyou the Republican party will
have to fight hereafter for all it gets"
MI, EURD Gu THE TARIFF.
Two of the men who will be members of
the ways and meers committee have given
expression 70 their views. Frank Hurd, it
Is said, could hava the Craftsmanship of the
judiciary. He docs not want it. He pre-
fers the ways aud means. This is his pro
gramme:
Il do not think any general tariff will
be brought forward, but we will ask for
free salt, free sugar, free lumber, free bar
bed wire, free copper"
"Do You propose to include all these
items in one bill or to present separate
bills covering single suoiect?" Mr.. Hurd
was asked.
My preference is for single bills. but 1
do not know how the matter will be ar
ranged. I shall introduce a bill for free
wool at the earliest opportunity. do not
think that any of my Demo
cratic colleagues from Ohio will
vote for such a measure, but
intend to push it. repudiated the sec
ton of our state platform which condemned
the action of the last congr esq for reduc-
ing the duty on wool, and was elected by
a majority of 400, my constituents
understanding that 1 favored free wool.
One Michigan man was elected on the free
lumber and salt issue. There are many
protectionists who will vote to make these
articles free. Seven tenths OF the people
of Louisiana want free sugar. The sugar
industry in the south has been waning
for years past, and do not believe it is
right to longer continue the tariff on that
article to the great injury of the people of
the whole country"
do you favor giving bounty to sugar
growers?"
NO." Mr.. Hurd replied, 81 do not ap
prove giving bounties, it is not necss-
sary."

DUTIES.
Representative Converse, Ohio, has pre-
pared bill which ne will introduce to-
morrow if possible, providing for the
restoration of the rates of duty on cloth
ing, woods, combing woods, carpet and
other similar woods to what they were
prior to ths enactment of the
present tariff laws. Represen-
tative Converse had conference yesterday
with Delano, president of the wool grow
ers' association, at which the latter gave
the proposed measure his endorsement,
and to night Converse said he had no doubt
his bill would pass the house by two
thirds majority. Inc WOO SCOHluR luuuS-
try, ne said, was closely allied to the agri-
cultural and farming class, who were in
terestei in the restoration of the old rates
on wool, and this circumstance will give
the bill strength before the representatives
of the people. HIS state was the chief wool
producing state IN the country, and had
suffered most severely from the reduction
made by the present tariff law. There were
in that state $4,000 wool growers and their
loss on the sales OF Eoo!s at the last annual
shipping amounted to more than 81 ,000,-
600 The effsct Of the reduction of the
tariff on the WOO! product has been felt so
keenly in Ohio By both political parties
there, who have pledged themselves to
WORK for the restoration of the old rates.
