Clarksville weekly chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1873-1890, 1886-12-25

a hundred million coming in which we
do not know what to do with
The Tariff reformers and their oppo-
nents have been consulting with each
other, and it is thought another effort
for Tariff reform vii, be made this
week. Speculation upon the probable
result OF that effort would be mere
wild conjecture. Whether Mr.. Morri.
sons ax.reducing measure will pass,
or whether one will pass without the
other, or whether some substitute ior
the one or for both will pass, or wheth-
er every Tariff proposition will be re-
jected, it is impossible to say. At pres.
ent the proposition toabolish the inter
nal revenue taxes on whisky Gnd TO
bacco seems 10 be the most formidable
rival of Mr. Morrison's proposition tC
reduce customs duties and to extend
the list OF articles that shall be entitled
to free entry.
The Maine Representatives in Con
gress are all Republicans and so they
do not indulge in any very ieryenI
praise Of the published correspondence
between our Department Of State and
the British Foreign Office in regarC
to the fisheries question. The only
fault they have to find with 1t, however
is that the storm from the State De
partment did not start sooner. The,
agree that both Secretary Bayard ant
our own Minister to London are on tn,
right track now.
The course adopted by the Secretar,
OF State in sending the fisheries CORES
pondence to the House OF Representa-
tives instead OF the Senate, as is usual
was in reproof of Senatorial discourtes,
to the State Department. Last sum
mer, without, gathering facts, the Sen
ate committee on Foreign Relation
assumed hostile attitude to Mr.. Bayard
and proceeded to investigate the fish
cries trouble on the assumption tina
he was not doing his duty in the mat
ter. Now the correspondence prove
that Mr.. Bayard was closely attentiy
to it, and jealous in maintaining ever
just claim OF the United States. All {
this the Senate Committee could hav
learned had ii not been more anxiou
find political capital than to be just an
courteous to Democratic Secretary {
State.
