Probably the first important thing that the
democratic caucus VIII be called upon to de-
eide Will be whether there shall be general
tarlf bill or the reduction shall be attempted
| by the passage OF bills carrying single item.
In this matter the Speaker and those who with
him believe that the latter plan might be more
effective at this time will defer to the decision
| OF a majority Of the party.
