THE COMING TARIFF FIGHT,

The next great contest in congress, ii
is promised, will be over the tariff. 1t is
said that the ways and means committee
will be ready by November 20 to report a
new tariff bill, but it appears probable
that congress will adjourn or take a re-
cess before that time, so that a bill may
not be presented until after the beginning
of the regular session, which will be De-
cember 4. According to some informa-
ton having a claim to be regarded as
trustworthy, the bill being framed VII
carry out the idea of a tariff for revenue
only, and it is stated that the republicans
are preparing to fight such a measure,
though they will make no serious effort
to keep the Mckinley law as it is. On
the other hand, there is the authority of
SENATOR HILL, of New York, that the
measure which the ways and means COM
mittee will report will not be strictly in
accord with the revenue only principle.
In a speech made by the senator a few
days ago in Brooklyn he said, while dis

mittee as to the details of the new bill,
some of its general features may safely be
anticipated. He said that raw materials
needed in our manufactures will be placed
upon the free list, and that the necessaries
OF life will be Substantially free" "In
fixing the necessary tariff upon manu-
featured articles" said SENATOR HILL.
due consideration will be given to
the difference in wages between this and
other countries, and such differences will
be equalized in the rates imposed here in
tie general interest of the labor of our
country" The senator said further that
there will be no unjust discrimination
anywhere tolerated among it's provi-
sions."
If the new tariff bill is framed upon
the lines suggested by the New York
senator it must observe to some extent !
the principle of protection, and will not,
therefore, be in full accord with the doc
trine Of the Chicago platform. There is
reason to believe that Mr.. Hill has not |
mi>stated what the new measure, in its
general features, will be. The bill which
The ways and means committee will re.
port will have received the approval of
the administration, it is entirely safe to
say, before it is presented. 1t is well
known that the president does no accent
the doctrine Of the democratic national

;ional. He has let this be known on
more thar one occasion. As one Of his
organs has said, before taking Lis stand
upon the platform prepared for him at
he deliberately kicked out of it
plank which MIR Neal had inserted
therein. This he did in the address TO
the mass meeting in New York when he
was notified Of his nomination, and in
his inaugural address, referring to the
tariff, Mr.. Cleveland said: "WhiIe
there should be no surrender of prin.
ciple, our task must be undertaken
wisely and without needless vii d ctiye-
ness. Our mission is not punishment,
out the rectitication of wrongs" In
