ST. LOUIS, Dec. A-Samuel Bell Maxey,
United States Senator from Texas. was found
In st. Louis to-day on the way to Washington.
and he was called on By q reporter to give his
views on political matters.
Senator. what will Congress do during the
ensuing session I" aaked the reporter.
That is difncult question to answer" re-
piled the Senator. but I have very clear no.
tions a. to what Congress- ought to do-at least
As to what the Democratic majority OF the
House should do. OF course. the Republicans
control the Senate. and the Democrats are In
NO way responsible for tha actions Of that body
beyond what Its Democratic members may
do. There is no doupt In my mind
that the tariff question is the great issue be-
tween the two parties at the present time. Tho
Democratic party IL traditlonally and by virtue
OF platform declarations committed In favor OF
q tariff for revenue. The Republican party IL
distinctly In favor Of a tariff for protection.
The Democrats. wherever they have power.
should carry out this idea. It should be the
duty OF the Democratic majority in the House
to pass bill reducing tho tariff to the needs Of
the Government economically administered.
or. in other words. q tariff for revenue only. A
measure Of this kind should be pressed to .
vote. without regard TO the probable action OF
the Senate. This is due to the party which is
formally pledged to reduce the tariff. and
should show its faith by It's works."

pose bill Of that kind. as they did during the
