MR.. BELMONT ON THE TARIFF.
INV TrIrnR1pI TO TIE TR1BUSE.l


WASHINGTON, Jan. 30-The dispatch sent to IHE
TRIBUNE recently relative to Perry Bemonts tarIil
views was so condensed that misapprehension OF
Mr. Belmont's views may have arisen. Mr. Bel
,nont's exact words were these: democrats also
saw and am one of them, that more raw materials
must be straightway put on the free list in aid OF
manufacturers in order that, by thus cheapening
American production, they may be enabled to get
easier access to foreign markets. There are also
Democrats equally loyal and patriotic who say that
the present distribution of party power between the
House on one hand, and the President and Senate
on the other hand, is unfavOrable to such a rear
rangement of tariff tables during the present ses-
sion and that to attempt 1t now, with the pr0oapl-
itv of obstruction by the Senate or veto by the
President would be aimless and useless disturb
ance of hnsiness and Industry"
