WASHINGTON, y. y, Aug. ., 1890 -
Boss Qaay is aeal3 in supreme com
nand u the maj3ify Of the Senate.
He was lenient towards Senator's Hoar.
Spooner and the res5 nj LIS opponents,
letting them down easy, by allowing
them 10 report 3 laW resolution Ii the
place Of the one cf-re:} by him. But t
amounts u precisely the same thing as
ii his resolution aaG been adopted.
The tanI bill IS TO be }v.ed upon dur
ing the first week cr ten days OF oSptem-
ber, and as a special sep 10 the RaGi-
cal element. Tie most Of tie Republican
Senators have signed On agreement t.
vote for the cODsI -,11I,tlgn Of tie toIce
Dill in December next, This does not
mean that all Of the Republican Sena-
tors will vote for that a.rocicus meas
mr., f0T h'lm5er q them lcTa stated
that, y hile they were willing y yJte TO
have the bill considered, they proposed
voting against it. The Radical element
hopes to gain four votes for it from the
new Senators from Idaho and Wyoming.
Senator German was asked what tile
Democrats proposed doing in regard to
the tariff bill He said, mo agreement
has been reached as to the close Of de-
| bate upon the tariff bill. When there
| has been sufficient, if not thorough
and satisfactory discussion Of the bill,
the Democrats Will agree, il accordance
with the cuatOme # the Senate 10 take
a vote upon It The question has Al
ready been under consideration, but no
| conclusion has been reached. Tie pr
position for q osuEo must come from
tia Repablicans. None has yet been
received. When it comes We shall de-
ciste whether it is satisfactory; if not We
shall make q cour cr proposition" Sen
ator German intimateq that in two
weeks more the Dcmoccats, having
shown the most striking inconsistencies
OF the bill, would b8 perfectly willing 10
have the Republicans pass It, and let
the voters OF the country, at the CONgres-
sionai elections decide which party vas
a the right.
Senator Carliale presented an argu-
ment which no Republican Senator aGud
answer when he showed by price lists
aud actual bills of sale ta2t certain Amer
lean manufacturers, who are given an
increase Of duty upon products simil.,
70 those manufactured BY them, Lpon
their plea that they are necessary to pre-
vent their being driven out OF business
by foreign competitors, are selling their
manufactures n foreign countries mach
cheaper-in some cases 33 and 80 pei
cent less-than they sell the same ar
ticles in the United States. Mr.. Car
Isle said he thought, and the consumers
will undoubtedly think with him, tia
ifthesa manufacturers could afford unde
2 the present tariff TO send their goods t.
: foreign countries to compete with for
, eign manufacturers Of the same articles
and sell them for less than they did a
: home, that it would ba manifestly uniuS
D to the home buyers to raise the duty j
: order to allow these manufacturers t
make their American customers pay
: still higher price. No Republican al
temped to make specific answer to iii
e Carlislea argument-it can't be ans
q Wered. "Protaction" IS the humbug {
Il the age.
: If, in the face Of the acknowledgment
y Of notes endorsed By George E. Lemon
/ the king of the Wasl gton pension a
e torneys, the Republicans Of the commi
i tee Investigating Repres sentative Cooper
y charges against Raum, decide to whit
wash that official, they will prove then
: selves to be possessed OF an uOusu
ar amount OF ''gall" even for Reeds hencl
Or men. When this charge was first mad
and before investigation was orderet

IL stated that Lemon had never endorse

III absolute proof oi the transaction he 10
y boldly admits II, ma ye5 attempts
deny that he has favored Lemon by 4
vancing his business in the Pension {
Gee. Lemon old not endorse those not
