TIE REPUBLICANS are in rather q
pitfalls condition now on account OF
the tariff. Mr.. Nils bill is in the
hands of the Senate, and the Repuoli-
cans in that body are divided as to
whether it would be good politics to let
st sleep where it is or tack on subsu-
tute, pass it, and ssnd it back to the
House, and then let a conference com
nAtee report upon 1t. Such men as
Allison and Aldrich are, however, urg-
ing their colesgues OF the Senate FL
nance Committee to unite with them
and report separate tariff bill They
argue that the country would charge
them With cowardice if they failed to
do this. Edmuuds and some of the
more stubborn Republican lie aders, are
opposed to tinkering with the tariff in
any way, and say they are willing to
meet the Democrats 90 the issue laid
down in the Presidents message and
the Mills bill.
