ANOTHER PRETTY FABLE SPOILED.
Randall VIII Not DIN the Repub leans
In Opposing Tariff Bill, but Will
worn for HI. Party,

"ork for His Party.
WA>HINCToN, January L. A statement
has been going the rounds recently to the
feet that Mr.. Randall would oppose tariff
Legislation at al b .ris, an tiut be had
formed q combination with the protection
Democrats and the Republicans TO accom-.
pash the deteat OF any mcasdre. WHAT
h calsed more importance TO be given to
the report than wou,d otherwise have been
the case is the fact that il emanated from a
correspondent holding the close aud conf
DENTAL position OF clerk 10 Speaker Car.
ilS!e, aud ii has been hastily Inferred that
the views expressed were those of no less
an authority than the Speaker himself.

in any way With the report referred t.,
nut sttribEte it 50 ely to the inventive
mind OF the correspondent working in his
'urnalisUic capacity. He may have thought
he had discovered

stoIy.
or considered II a likely guess at the truth.
Ia point Of tact there is no trouble antici
,nIru on this question. aud there should
Ot none. II ought not 70 be necessary To
>ay that Mr.. Randall IS too staunch a d IN
DCrst and too shrewd u man TO think OF
breaking with his party at this late day,
AID f. rning combination outside. Wni
II Is not, OF course, impossible that tariff
measure may be brought in by the Com
uIttee on Ways and Means that some OF US

To give you an idea OF how I sand on
lis question, MIR. Nurchlrr went on g..
plain. In conversation recently wi h
chairman OF W,ys and VI aus | 10 d
IN hat | supposed we might natura IA
pct 10 get sum kind OF bill from h
n,mitree this session. and had this t.
sly in this regard to 1t: Let it be mode--
ATE bill, that is, one making moderate aud
just reductions in duties, and it
should Have W. support.
| laid 10 him We cannot afford to have any
differences in the party on this question,
mi We must work together 50 that there
>ha!! re none. You, Mr.. Chairman, cannot
10 without us any more than our vOt"s
msur Mr.. Carlisle Sneaker, and we caHnpr
''' NttN'Nl lbu ''lS treat ITutSElNtul'
as isirIy in regard to her great business and
IaI''r Interests as you have treated Us in
mgkirg up the committees and there wi
oa no cause for complaint, and think this
will he done
What do you imply BY a just as well as
moderate reduction of dutieS?'
i mean cne that will no. irjlre any
UartiCulsr branch of trade for the Den-I.
of others or reduce duties that are protsc.
I've, leaving those that are not protective
untouched. To illustrate the case, my DIS
triCt produces perhaps more pig iron than
opy other district in the Union. II a bill
should be brought taking the duty off
5 rsp iron and leaving il upon jute hu'ts,
| s ould be compelled 10 oppose aud vote
against such a bill. Such action ! consider
altogether unlikely, and in case q tariff bill
i, Isssed at this session you may rest as
sursd, frOm the character o. all the
= ntleman concerned, that it will not be
one that will cripple our industries Nr

Then you 81 not fear any split in tie

1t must be yerv saDguine Republican
who expects one. Mr.. kandall's devotion
10 his party, as shown under trying circum-
stances ana by arduUus services, needs no
praise from ne. believe Mr.. Crlisle t
