of revenue reform are not disposed t.

to restore the tariff on vol was defeaI-
ed by the decisive vote Of ll9 to l2G
Tbs indicates very clearly that the
Morrison bill will be passed. The peo-
pie demand reduction of the presen'
high and oppressive tariff. The Repub-
lican party is vi der the con rol of the
