elm what light do YOU look 40 the tariff
bill. and what DO YOU think the probdbili-
ties are for its PASSAGE
As a matter, of policy continued Mr..
Faulkner. "the Republicans recognize that
they must pass "a tariff bin duringtho pres
cnt session of Congress. And for these rea-
sons: For the first time I'm the history of
high tariff legislation the importers have
taken an active part against the Mckinley
bill They realize that the measure reaches
beyond what is ordinarily understood as
protection, and is, in fact, prohibitOry.
The representatives of 5OO,OOO,O0j OF
capital invested in the importing
business appeared before the Senate Com
mittee on Finance 10 oppose this measure,
the majority Of whom were leading Repub-
Ecans Should the bin fail to pass at this
session these men would exert their iuilu-
euce and power against the Republican
party i'm the fan election Should IL be-
come a law, notwithstanding it's many
iniquities, these business interests would

Faulkner. land they will make a strenuous
effort 10 have the bill become q law. Its

therefore be surprised that even so strcnu-
