IL terr Torld The OUTLOOK
- upon tb.a was asked this
: Insl h,tdether he thought there
: DIT Z any tariff legislation pass
w. the House this winter. He re-
ed THAT is a very hard question
70 answer. There is not very much
harmony upsp our side on this sub,
iect. ! sm inclined to think that no
regular tariff bill could be passed in
the House. The great problegtion
We have to consider is tbthink this
of the surplus reyesned by simple
could be Ja~the tariff, which would
reduaf for any elaborate BILL
The Judge then said further: 81
am very confident that proposition
for reducing the tariff upon lumber,
sugar and salt could be passed
through this House easily. l think
that an effective majority could be
united upon such proposition as
that. This is about all the reduc-
ton of the tariff that our revenues
would stand at present. Such a re-
duction weuld be thoroughly in. har-
mony with the Presidents policy.
These ..are the articles which are
largely used by the poor, and re,
duction of the tariff upon them
would benefit the poor more than
any other class. The only objection
to such reduction would come from
the Louisiana sugar planters. This
sugar planting industry of Louisiana
is not increased uuder protection.
There are some members who think
it would be cheaper to give these
Louisiana people bounty and take
of the tariff from sugar in general.
| am against giving any such boun-
ty."
Mr.. Holnan said that if the Ways
and Means Committee should re-
port any bill it probably would be
too radical to be approved by the
Democrats. He understood that the
Republicans would vote solidly
against any tariff change.
The Judge was asked if he thought
the present system of distributing
the Appropriation bills would result
in increased expenditures. "Not
this year." he replied. 81 think so
much attention has been called to
the~subject that the committees will
be very careful. shall expect to
see the appropriations considerably
less this year; indeed, they conid
hardly be more than theJ were last
year. The Republicans in their
worst years of extravaganza, when
they put the salary-grab upon tie
pyramid on their lavish expenditures,
only reached the sum of $193. 100000,
while last year we appropriated over
1926, 100000.
Mr.. Holman expects, however, that
this system in the future may result
in extravaganza. He was asked ifhe
thought there would be any financial
legislation this winter. He replied:
"Not thing will be done. The sill
yer coinage will not be suspended.
There will be a protracted debate,
but you will find there will be no
legislation of any kind, save posi-
bly, the passage of q law providing
for the calling in and reeoinage of
the trade dollars
WHAT SENATOR VOORHEES, THINKS OF
ANTI.sILvER LEGISLATION.
Senator Vooorhees was asked his
judgment about the Senate passing
any financial measures. ''To the
best of my candid judgment" he
said, '.nothing viii be done" He
was asked whether he thought the |
Eustis proposition could be passed !
in the Senate. He shook his head |
most emphatically. He said there
were very few of the Senators who
favored it. The silver men do not
regard Eustis and Beck as their
friends. They regard their views as
too extreme. A prominent silver
man said to-day: "Both Eustis and
Beck seem mad because silver now
is as good as gold. They seem to
want to make it cheaper. Look at
Beck coming in with a proposition
to-day to have the interest and the
of the public debt paid in
gold. in silver and silver certificates
in proportion, as near as may be, to
the way these kinds of currency are
received at the Custom-House in the
of custom dues. The fact
is that silver is now employed in pay
ing the interest on the public debt as
well as the certificates named. How
