WASHINGTON, D. c., July ga
tariff conference OF the Republican SEN
ators was held at Senator Evarts' resi-
dence tonight, at which decision was
reached that the Finance Committee
shall prepare tariff bill ass substitute for
the Mills bill, and that it shall then be
reported to the Senate and taken up
and passed regardless OF the length OF
time this may require,
The Finance Committee was instruct
cd to continue its work and bring it to
n conclusion as speedily us it could con-
sistent with careful performance OF the
task allotted to it.
The bill will be an outgrowth OF that
already sketched by the subcommittee,
but the views expressed by Senators to-
night, and approved by a majority OF the
Senators, will doubtless lead to some
notifications and change OF detail. The
net reduction OF revenue to be attained
will probably be between SG5, 900, 600 and
$50, 600, 200.

The PRESS AND THE MESSAGE.
Various Views Taken of MT. Clcysland'I
Passionate Utteraneea.

Various vIsWS Taken of Mr.. Clcyeland'I
: Passionate Utteraueea.
NEW YoRE, Dec. 4.-The Sun in its
editorial comments on the Presidents
message, says: The main fact is that no
where does Mr.. Cleveland specify or
even suggest any line Of policy to be pur-
sued in dealing with the question of the
surplus and the taxes.
The Herald says: 1t is plain, business
like report OF the condition OF the vari-
Gus departments, perfacedlby few para
graphs in which Mr.. Cleveland speaks
foT more impartial laws and stricter
adherence to the constitutional methods;
that monopolies and trusts shall not in
crease, but that all Americans shall have
a fair chance in the race OF life. What
he says on this head is sensible and well
put, but as the people have just elected
to power party which favors monopo-
lies, trusts and capitalistic combinations,
for the present the recent elections show
that the people do not care enough about
its evils.
The Tribune says: The message is not
Us carefully written Us the Presidents
other official papers, but its crude or
awkward phrases count for nothing in
comparison with its mischievous tone.
It would not be out of place for the Sen
ate's reply TO rebuke Chief Magistrate
who sets himself to inhame blind preiu-
dice and passion against employers gen
orally, whatever their personal worth or
merit, and against the institutions and
laws which the people have recently
sustained by their verdict. Mr.. Cleve-
land gained reputation for courage
when he cut through DISCUSSES and avow-
ed for Free Trade; but he does not gain
in any respect when he gives vent to
personal passion in his last annual mes
sage.
The Times says: The whole tenor and
important truth lying Mt the base OF
some OF Mr.. Cleveland's remarks are, in
our judgment, somewhat obscured by
overta;ement. 1t is pretty true that
some OF the higher protective duties OF
tariff foster monopoly, levy taxes, not
for the common needs but for the BEN
eft Of privileged class, and imposing
gross inequality upon people, but the
class benefited is small. 1t does not in
clude all or even the greater number OF
manufacturers. On the contrary the
great body OF manufacturers suffer by
the taxes that enrich the few, being
compelled to pay them the cost OF mate
rails made by the few.
