accomplish other things too numerous to
mention are already we'll matured in the
committees, and will be pushed upon the
attention of both bodies as early as prac.
tcable. The fact that the two houses are
ut loggerhesds politically renders it
unlikely that good deal of this
proposed legislation will be perfect
ed. More than this there are
rumors of dissensions on revenue questions
between leading Democrats in the House
which may emtarrass the carrying out of
any definite policy by the dominant party
there. The Washington Post OF to. day

that Randall and his following are prepar
ing to antagoniIe any measured revenue
reform that the Carlisle Morrison wing
may bring forward and propose to see that
no tariff bill passes the House al this ses-
sion. Altogether, the situstion is full OF
reTPleXity to the free trade elament in the
present Congress. Without the income
derived from internal revenue the expeldi-
lures OF the government would neCessitate
an imposition OF foreign duties sufficient
to ensure an amount of protection to home
manufacturers little if any less than that
in vogue. With the present system OF in.
ternal revenue there is surplus which
taxes the ingenuity of both parties to dis.
pose of. Both plans OF raising revenue are
obnoxious 10 considerable elements. hi
rect taxation is not acceptable to anybody.
Hence the NuAndArY.
