While the Omaha Republican earn.
estIy advocates the maintenance OF a
protective tariff, II As earnestly main.
taips tho necessity OF reforming the
present tariff. 1t answered the purpose
years ago, but 1t is not what Is wanted
at this time. 1t brings in too much
money. which. being taken from, and
not Immediately returned to circulation,
Is damaging to business interests. The
revenue from tariff must be largely re.
duced. or the Republican party will
suffer for the failure, In the election OF
the.next congress.
Not only a reduction In the revenue

now paying tariff, should 60 on tho

Those schemers who propose to build
$3.50. 900, 900 worth Of war ships should
be snubt,cd. for the suggestion certainly
comes from those who desire to keeI
the tariff as 1t now is. They are neither
friends Of the country, nor of the Re.

ruinous to both. We want enough
revenue raised by the tariff to pay the
expenses of the government, econom

The proceeding. OF tho Republican
caucus. which met Monday evening last
gave further confirmation to the views
heretofore expressed In regard to the
proposed action OF the majority OF the
house in the pending election contests.
The radical features OF the new rules
proposed bv Mr. Reed, and which prob
ably were made more radical for that
very purpose, draw forth the opposition
Of the more conservative Republicans
to the end that 1t was determined to
postpone their discussion for the present
while at the same time 1t was decided
that the committee on elections should
bring in the first OF the contested elec-
tion cases, and that the discussion
thereon should lie continued for two
days, with the object Of securing full
Republican vote upon the final passage.
So that whenever the auspicous moment
arises and the complexion OF the house
suits the speaker he can, by some arbi.
trary ruling, and In the absence Of any
rules, bring the question TO an ifnmedi.
ate vote and adopt whatever resolution
the committee may recommend before
the minority have opportunity TO oppose
by any dilatory motion.
