In support of the position taken by
the NEWS that the tariff question is
local issue; that the sheepman wants
a high tariff on wool, but low tariff
ON iron; that the iron manufacturer
wants the iron industry protected, but
a low tariff, or no tariff on lumber;
that the lumberman wants high
duty on lumber, but low duty on
wool. iron. ETC., we have the evidence
of a Chicago lumber dealer named
Blanchard who is candid enough to
state the question as he sees 1t IN the
following language:
81 am for high tariff on lumber, but
low tariff on wool, iron, glass, copper,

writing from Washington, makes the fol-
lowing statement, which j. verified by
strong Indications from Democratic sour
ces:
The country, and especially the Republ-
can press, which is called to deal with the
issues in its own enlightened way, should
clearly understand these things; First, the
situation at Washington il more serious than
has been generally believed Second there
is grave reason to fear that the Mills bill will
pass the House and that the measure must be
treated as a present and passing danger, and
not as a remote and improbable contingency,
Third, the able and sagacious Republican
members of the Ways and Means Committee
in full conference with the united Republi-
cans Of the House. appreciate what is due to
the Republicans of the country and are not
unmindfuI of the wisdom and duty of antag-
onzng the Administration Mills scheme.
with an alternative proposition which will
commend itself to the approving judgment of
the people. and which will constitute an i'm
pregnable Republican platform, and fourth,
the Republican Senators are in full accord
with the Republicans of the Ways and Means
Committee and the House, and notwithstand-
ing the marrow margin, they are ready for the
issue which they expect to come before them.
The coming struggle here is to be tremen-
dous one and it is time to grid on the armor
for the battle"

thing n my communication which Mr.. Hen
dee considered was calculated to place him
in false light. he was justified in replying
to it but in doing so he has forced me, in
self defence. and in defence of the Post-to

he asked me, as committee on hall, s25 if
we desired to use it on Memorial Day 1887.

says that sin 1885 he charged Sl2 50" and

reference to IS and Sc but to 1887, the wear
used Meenian. However as he has of
fered this statement | would like to
ask why if in 1885 he charged only
SIP so, he should now in 1855 ask
$50? Does ii cost more for gas than it dill
then! or are the expenses of taking care
of the hail any more now than they were
