| bate in order to facilitate the passage of the
Tariff. By this scheme they hope 10 draw
/ the Democratic fire on tha Taril instead Of
J the Force bill. In other words. the Republi-
cans realize that public sentiment would el-
d0rsc Democratic opposition to the Forcc
J bill. while # would not perhaps, against thc
/ Tarin The Democrats. should the Repuhli-
cans bring forward their new rule. viii
