A Fight on the Tariff Will Come OFF This
Session and That Has Been Fully
Agreed Upon.

"a dead certainty" that if the proposition
to vote for or against unconditional re
peal, with nothing else in view, coult
come before the house it would have
decided majority. There are now foul
or five senators who nave been classeC
all along as free coinage advocates who
peal if all other proposals are voted
down that rather than vote against it,
when it stands alone, they will vote for
1t. They give unconditional repeal a
safe majority. Senators Teller, Stewart,
Vest, Cockrell, Butler, Morgan and other
Tree coinage men acknowledge that their
only hope now lies in the rules, which
make it possible for them to defeat a
vote. They mean to talk the bill to
death and wear out the repealists, as they
did the election bill of two years or more
ago. A change of the rules so as to
bring the silver bill to a vote seems i'm
possible, as there is no process of ending
a debate upon a rule which would secure
closure, even upon a single measure.
Inc chances seem about even tina a
direct vote cannot be secured upon un-
conditional repeal in the senate. and two
TO one that a compromise will be effected
whereby another silver law will take the
place OF the present one.
There is one subject which overslaugbs
all others at the present time in CONNER
cial circles. 1t ever ranks the financial
problem before congress. 1t is the tariff.
Manufacturers and business men. as well r
as the farmers, are anxious to know what t
kind of a tariff bill the democratic con- q
gress and democratic administration will {
finally put into law and when it will 90 +
into effect. L
mere is not a man in congress-, be he C
a nigh prOteCtiOnist or a free trader, but IL
that acknowledges frankly and openly c
the Importance of informing the countrv .
as to what kind of a tariff bill is to be tt
adopted and when it will take effect. It
Is not so much the specific items which II
are to be affected by the new tariff bill
as 1t is the time when those who are to
be Affected must adjust themselves to the
new conditions. THE GLOBE CORE cI
spondent spent the greater part of the til
past week making inquiry of the leading =
partisans in congress and irving TO cet nv
the position of the administration upOn re
the tariff. 10
The first and most important fact as az
in this research for information s>
is that the tariff bill which will become . m,
law some time next year will be very ST.
