We are beginning to think that the
Democratic papers Of the country do
NOT know everything after all. For .
long time they were sure that no tariH
bill wonld be passed al all by the
present Congress. When the Nc.
Kinley bill did psss the House oi
Representatives they modified their
predictions and agreed that It would
never pass the Senate, or II any bill
passed the Senate it would be an en-
tirely new one. 1t looks now as II
they were to be disappointed in all
their predictions. The Mckinley bill
did pass the House by good round
mejority, losing only one Republican
vote in its passage. and the committee
of the Senate is about ready to report
The same bill with some very slight
anne ndments. That it will pass the
Senate there is not the least doubt.
and there is just as little doubt that II
will receive the approval of the Presi-
d mt and become . law. The pledges
Of the Republican party will then
have been fulfilled, the nation will
have tariff law that will measure up
to the times and will not be subject 10

stable foundation to rest upon With
