Special TO the Indianapolis Jourr9
WAsHIEoToE, Oct. 3-Tnere can no Logger
be any doubt as to the intention Of the Republic
ans in the Senate to show their exact position
upon the subject ot the tariff before the election
BY reporting their bill on the subject The
measure was submitted in the Senate this after
noon by Mr. Allison, who is acting chairman OF
the committee finance. He has announced
that he will call the measure up for cousidera-
ticn on next Monday, and in private conversa-
ton this evening stated that the debate would
be pushed along from day to day till
taken over the election. This, be thought, would
be done about the 20th of the month.
In the House the impression prevails.
however, that Congress will take
recess by the middle OF week after

created profound impression. His explanation
of the sectional features OF the Democratic bin,
and the fair and just treatment OF all portions
of the country. and all interests, by the bill iu-
troduced to-day Was convincing. He showed
any section of the country; that while every
essential feature of the American system or
protection was maintained, there would be fully
much reduction Ia the income OF the govern
ment as the Mills bill proposes. The Republic
ans in both houses occupy q different position
10 relation to this bill from that occupied by the
Democrats of the two houses toward the Mills
bill. While the Democratic measure did not
receive united support Ia the House and was
not commended by oil the Democrats In the SEN
ate. every Repubicania ia both houses of Congress
indorses the bill introduced to-day. There may
be some amendment to the bill which has just
been laid before the Senate, but they will not be
made, because the bill does not receive the in
dorsement Of the party. Such amendments as
will tend to perfect the measure will be accepted
BY the united party, whether presented by Re
pnblicsns or Democrata There have been no
dark Ian tern" proceedings IN connection with
the preparation of this bill. All parties and ell
interests have been heard and fully considered.
The primary olzect has been to reduce the rev.
enues OF the government TO the miuimum figures
depsndsS to meet tie expenditures OF the gov
ernnent, aud at the same time correct the in
eoualities of the present laws which levy Gus
toms dues. The Republicans hold tha, il is bet

present laws, to make such reductions are
possible by way Of the abolition of useless n.
ferusl taxes, and then to reduce the duties on
