COMPLAINTS OF PORTERs FRIENDS.
THEY SAY HIS CASE HAS BEEN MIsMANAGED IN



fBY TELEGRAPH TO TIE TRIBUNE
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S,-The friends of F1tz John
Porter are complaining bitterly of the bad manage
ment of the bill for his relief by General slocum
They say that every day of delay is losing votes
for the BILL One of them said to-day that he knew
of at least ten Republicans, who would have voted
forit week ago, but who will not do so now.
Some of them have been won over by the speeches
in the House, while others are influenced
by letters they have received from influential
men in their districts, who served in the Union
Army and are opposed to Porters restoration.
Some of the speeches in favor of the blll-espe-
cially those of General Slocum and Mr.. Follett-
have also aroused the resentment of certain Repub
licans. 1t is reported, too that several Democratic
Congressman, who served in the Rebel army, have
been deeply impressed by the argument of Mr. Horr,
in which he asserted that they really have no busl
ness to take part in the decision of the case and
that they are now inclined TO think Mr.. Horr Is
right on that point. General Slocum fully realizes
that the protracted debate is unfavOrable to the
bill but he does not see the way clear TO bringing
1t TO an end 1.-THE opponents of the bill will then
complain that we have smotheTed dlscussl0n, SAID
the fair-minded Slocum, in reply to suggestion OIL
one of POrter's friends. He may, however decide
to force vote next Friday. The bill will undOubt-
edly pass the House. but will not receive as many
Republican votes as its friends hoped and expected

PERRY BELMONT ON THE TARIFF.
STATEMENT OF HIS POSITION AND THAT OF HIS
PARTY.
fpY TELEGRAPH TO TIE TRIBUNE.


PARTY.
Try TELEGRAPH TO TIE TRIBUNE
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-Perry Belmont mas pre-
oored for nnblication statement of his position.
and that of the Democratic party on the tariff Mt
Belmont does not think there are any serious dler
ences among Democrats on the propositions thatthe
tariff should be Immediately revised; the present
surplus is unnecessary cruel to taxpayers, danger
ons 70 public welfare; and that some materials
must be straightway put on the free list. lie
thinks however, that the sentiment of the majority
in the Senate is such that to attempt tariff revision
now would be an aimleSs and useless disturbance
of business and industry.
THE INTERNAL TAXATION QUESTION,
Mr.. Belmont admits that there are grave differ
ences among Democrats as to whether internal tax
alton should be abolished. He seems to lean to the
opinion that it should be. He says it is matter OF
course that when these taxes are abolished the
sum total to be raised by tariff will be greater but
n change in the sum to be raised by the tariff does
not mean modification of the Democratic princi-
pie that tariff tables should be arranged onyD for
revenue If Mr.. Belmont is not mistaken MI Car
isle and Mr.. Randall both hold that in promoting
tariff for revenue only it will be just, wise ana
nroper so to arrange the list and apporion the sum
total Of duties as to give the American manufac-
lures all the protection against cheap labor and
will naturally afford. Mr. Belmont's definition OF
tariff for revenue only is that only such sum total
of money should be raised by the tariff as is de-
manded by the wants of the Government.
THE TARIFF QUESTION NOT TO BE SUPPRESSED.
Being asked whether he thought it possible for
the Democratic leaders TO suppress the tariff ques-
tion. he replied in the negative and declared that
unless the Democratic party proposes to retire from
the control Of the House, abdicate its position In
the Senate and yield the Executive in perpetuity to
the Republicans, it must deal with this ques-
tlon. Mr. Belmont also thinks the fiscal sys-
TEN of country like ours needs constant
vigilance and adaptation to a new environment"
He wants 20 know how the Democrats can aspire
10 control the Federal Government and yet shrink
from dealing with the most pressing problemso of ad-
minstTatiOn, and he thinks that the suggestion OF
certain Democrats that it will not do for the party
TO attempt to reduce the surplus for fear OF making
a blunder and meeting condemnation next NOYem-
her is not calculated to inspire much confidence IN
Democratic craftsmanship.
All bills for raising revenue shall originate IN
the House of Representatives. How, then, can
the Democratic House eyade, dodge or stradde the
imperative necessity for dealing with $13OO0O, 600
Of annual surplus be ii more or less. Mr. Belmont
thinks that the voters are intensely interested III
