the Republican tariff ball that there Is
no chance OF Its passing the House. In
fact. they have even gone 50 far as 10
say that the Republican members Of the
Ways and Means Committee themselves
are so much disgusted with the bill now
that Il has seen the light OF day, that
they can not be induced 70 support It
IN the House. | suppose II ls hardly
necessary for me % remark that there
Is not single word Of truth IN these
statements. although the Democrats
would De very glad % know that there
were dissensions IN the committee. or
course, the tariff bill is not satisfactory
10 every member Of the majority. II is
not 10 be expected that Il would be.
Such complex subject as the tariff,
when there are 80 many diversified in
tsrests 20 be taken care of, calls for
concessions. Perhaps one industry may
not receive that absolute mea sure OF
protection which its friends think
should be accorded 10 II. But for the
general good that industry is willing
that the duties should be lowered, so
that the entire country may be pros
porous. OF course, the Republicans
from Louisiana are somewhat annoyed
that the duty on sugar should have
been reduced, but it Is plainly for the
benefit of the entire county that this
cut was made. and think, when the
bill comes 10 vote, IL will be found
that the Louisiana men will be found
voting for IL IN common with Repub-
hcans from every other part of the
country. The Massachusetts, men are
somewhat annoyed Just now that hides
were put on the dutiable list, but the
imposition of duty on hides is for the
benefit OF the Western farmers, while
the consumer will not suffer. On the
whole, | believe that the bill is salts
factory TO the country at large and,
although it may be amended here and
there IN some unimportant particulars,
IL will, doubtless, pass the House IN the
shape IN which II comes from the COM
mittee.
Mr.. Burrows, who has worked hard
in the preparation of the bill, is very
well satisfied with the results of his
labors. He believes that the bill IS sat
isfaetory to the State of Michigan, and
that her interests have been fully pro-
tected and taken care of. Mr.. Burrows
looks for the support of every Republi-
can IN the House, and has no fears
about the passage of the bill. 1t IS i'm
possible 70 say when the bill will receive
the Presidents signature. Ii is felt by
the leading Republicans that il will be
a waste OF good time for any consldera-
bic eloquence TO be INDUCED in. If
members have 10 make speeches for
home consumption, they will probably
be gratlfied by being allowed TO hear
themselves talk at night sessions OF the
House, but IL is useless TO waste the
tirneof the House by the oldktereotyped
remarks on the "rUbber tariff" when
everybody has heard the same thing
time and time without end. The de-
bate on the bill by sections, when
it Is open 10 amendment, will con-
sumo several weeks, and after the bill
has passed the House 10 is impossible to
say how long 1t will remain IN the Sen
ate. In that body there is absolutely
no way Of choking off debate. A man
can talk until ne gets tired and his
brother Senators can do nothing to stop
HIM. II some of the long winded Dem
ocratic Senator's like Voorhees,, of
Indiana, aud Vance, of North Carolina,
want to inhct their Orations on the
Senate. the Senate will have TO stand
them. 1t is not likely that the bill can
go 10 the President for Signature until
September.
Republics have always been noted for
being uuurateful and Mr. D. T. Brock
EFT, OF Maryland. has especially good
reason for thinking 30. BrOckett Is the
man whose monster campaign ball was
the picturesque feature of the last pres
idential campaign. For the past year
he has been IN Washington vainlv try
ing 20 secure an Office. but his patriot
Jam has not been rewarded and he has
heen forced to find employment as
trench digger in order 20 exc out pre-

enthusiastic Republican conceived the
idea Of constructing the ball. and il be-
came 50 popular as \ campaign attTac-
