WAsHINGToN, Nov. 12.-Some interesting
ocrats at the next session of Congress was
| given to your correspondent to. day by Rep
resentative Cultivate. of Ohio. Mr.. Outn-
waite is charm. an of the House committee
on military affairs. and is one of the best
informed and sagecious of the Dem

said: 1T is useless TO anticipate
any interference with our banking
laws at this time. The Democrats do not
expect, aud they could not. if they so de-
sired. make any change In our present sys-
TEN of making oil issnes of money come
directly from the federal government. The
| 10-per-cent- tax on State bank issues will
not be repealed. 1t is not my way. nor
| that of the Democratic party. to kill
| thing by taxing it out of existence. but
now that the State bank issues are done
for by an inhibitory tax, they will not be
| revived. There will not he an extra
session of Congress. Mr.. Cleveland IS
| opposed TO such thing and said so eight
| years ago. Every body knows that the
| party responsible for an extra session Of
| Congress in time of peace always So tiers de-
| feat at the next election. Another thing,
| it is absurd TO suppose that the Democrats
| In Congress intend To roll mp their sleeves
| and jump at the work of destroying Anieri-

he very materially modified. but there will
be only slight reductions of duties upon
| articles which are successfully mnnufact-
tured IN our country. We will give
the manufacturers free raw materials
and Will put tin plate upon the free list be-
cause 1t Is not an established industry and
cannot be made SO In this country. The
established Industries will not he destroyed
| by being thrown into free competition
with those of England. nor Will they be
materially affected by heavy reductions of
/ duties upon their manufactures. We Will
/ first give them free raw materials TO work
with and then we will consider reductions
! of tariffs upon the manufactured articles.
