JUDGE THURMAN's OPINION.
PITTsBURG. Oct. 6.-In an inter-
view with judge Thurman to-day, he
said of the senate tariff bill,
it is badly planned meas
ure and only aggravated the
matter. II notice they copy after
the Mills bill very largely. Haven't
read it yet in its entirety, but I know
enough about it to say that it is not
nearly as good measure as the Mills
bill. 1t is nothing more than bid
for votes. They keep up the tariff on
the manufactured articles, to capture
the votes of the manufacturers, and
likewise, the duty on raw materials to
please the farmers. 1t is badly
mixed affair"
