LONG AND BITTER FIGHT.
Reports recently telegraphed from
that the Democraticmcmbers
of the ways and means committee are
likely to reach an amicable agreement on
the new tariff bill are misleading. Inside
information is o the effect that even the
of the committee are having a
monkey and parrot" time in trying to
settle their differences. In failing to
agree among themselves the members of
his committee are also placed at dsad-
vantage by the opposition of the presi-
lent and Secretary Carlisle in arranging
jhe new tariff schedule.
The outlook two weeks in advance of
he opening of the regular session of the
sd congress indicates that there will be
! long and bitter fight in both houses as
veil as in the committee over the mea-
ure that is to be brought forward in
'lace of the Mckinley tariff bill.
