the Tariff.
WASHINGTON, December 18TH The Demo.
cratic Senators were brought TO a realizing sense
to-day of the intention of their Republican
brethren to pass the tariff bill at the present
session of Congress by the action of the Republi-
can caucus in adopting a resolution doing away
with the holiday recess and providing for day
and night sessions until the tariff bill shall be
disposed of.
Much amusement is afforded outsiders by the
sudden change of front of both parties since the
election. Prior TO the adjournment of the
last session of Congress, the sohcitude
of the Democrats that bill should be passed by
the House to reduce the tariff duties was pain
full, and when the Mills bill was finally sent to
the Senate the Democratic Senators were impa-
tient of the delay in the Finance Committee
that prevented instant relief being granted to
the suffering taxpayers of the country.
There is about as much suffering now among
the taxpayers as there was prior to November
9th, but the Democratic Senators now wish to
consider the Finance Committees bill with
great deliberation, and to be fully informed on
the subject before voting, while the Republican
Senators are suddenly stirred with deep
anxiety to pass their bill without the slightest
unnecessary delay.
Tomorrow final action will be taken upon the
resolutions agreed to by the Republican caucus
