The Democratic Senators have
finally come together on the tariff
bill and are harmonizing their DIFF
ferences. The bill is to be amen
ded in several particulars and is to
have the support of all the Demo
Gratis except Hill, who announces
his unchanglng opposition as long
as the income tax is retained. The
whole matter was settled in caucus.
After full discussion of the COM
promise amendments proposed, the
measure was approved by vote of
81 to /, Mr.. Hill being the only
Senator who voted in the negative.
There was six absentees, but it was
understood that all six would sup
port the action of the caucus. As
it stands, therefore, the Democrats
claim that the votes of the forty
three out of the forty-four Demo
cratic Senators will be given for
the amended tariff bill as now
agreed on, the income tax included
A prominent Senator terselY sums
I'D the new tariff situation about as
follows: 1.-The Wilson bill, as it
came from the House, would have
been beaten in the Senate by fifteen
majority; so the Wilson-Voorhees
bill was prepared. 1t had come to
be seen that that would be beaten,
If unamended, by five majority,
therefore a new bill, the German
bill, is being prepared. The Cor
man bill is to be substantially a
protection bill. Increased rates of
duty are being prepared all along
the line, and specific duties are be-
ing substituted for ad valorem
duties. No industries, with three
exceptions, which need protection,
will fail to receive it, if the inter
ested parties make their wants
known in suitable ways to Mr..
German and his associates. The
radical Democratic Senators, such
as Mills, Berry, and Coke, assent
with reluctance, but there are three
conditions of surrender insisted
upon: 1) Lumber is to remain free
of duty; (2) wool is to remain free
of duty; and (3) all protective
duties are to be kept little lower
than those of the Mckinley bill.
There is much doubt expressed on
both sides of the Senate chamber
as to whether the new compromise
scheme will succeed. But Senator
Harris, who was in charge of the
tariff debate, says he will now begin
an "era of business" and that he
hopes to reach final vote by the
LIST Of June.

the interest of Americans in its gen.
eral legislation, and particularly in
its policy regarding silver. Or as
it is automatically stated by the
Birmjngham Post: ESPECIALLY the
Government Of tins country, which
refused to abandon its gold standard
in order to enablethe United States
silver men to obtain a fancy price
for their product" it being no part
of the British program to allow any
other people to obtain even a living
price for their product.
The A'ew York Times joined
other papers Of the "Reform"
stripe IN writing such editorials as
would lend color to the charge that
the New York bankers were the
only enemies Of fair price for so
important an American proGuct as
silverIn furtherance of the"Reform"
program for exciting internal dis
trust and animosity. It's no Won
der that the amendment introduced
by Senator Lodge, imposing differ
entail duties on British products,
and calling the attention of the
country to the discrimination
practiced by England, tending as
it does to cement US in a common
opposition to the outrage, and undo
the work of the past nine years, is
spoken Of as craftsmanship of the
new school on the Republican side
in the latitude of Boston"
Neglecting personal abuse, the
usual care for the interests OF those
foreign producers and their import
ing agents, which are called con
sumers," is paraded with the asser-
ton that last year 50 per cent. in
value OF our imports came from
Great Britain and her colonial de-
Tendencies and the people of the
United States would be compelled
to pay larger part Of the discrim-
mating duty. This would be true
If other countries and their depen-
denotes did not produce the same
raw materials as Great Britain, and
if we and other countries did not
produce about the same manufact-
ured commodities.
The enactment of Senator
Lodges amendment would strike a
double blow at the theory on which
British trade has been built up and
lat British trade. 1t would still
further hinder access to her largest
market, and, what is worse, it
would encourage the manufacture
of goods that can be made in Eng
land in other countries, surely
reducing their price. But its enact
ment during the term of the pres
ent ADMINISTRATION is probably impos-
sible. Its proposition however, is
a serious menace to the continuance
of a mode of thought in this coun-
try that Great Britain has built UP
through her agents at great cost.
Hence the wall of the New York
EnaeS.-Amerlcan Economist.

After all the money expended

sectional animosity in this country,
to set the West and the South
against the Northeast and the man
ufacturers of New England against

DEAR UNoLE:-I Rm not unconsolable
over my defeat. Still / shall keep q
wary eye on the Pops. They seem to
be looking about in old party strong
holds for recruits. II they take up Q
strong republican they can win over
many disaffscted, enthusiastically inclined
stand.ups. This they may do to win the
state next fall. They are sure Of the
senate. 1t holds over two more years.
They have never had full control Of the
state government. The inclination to
'give them q chance" will strongly in
fluence many voters. / have been too
prominent in opposition to be able easily
to join them. All is fair in love, war
and politics. In their ranks, / or any
other man Of quality could do much for
our cause. We could not hope to get
them to drop their wild schemes. But
we could insert ambiguous clauses that
could be construed in favor of wealth.
We could weaken and vitiRtO enactments,
AS executives, we could evRde vigorous
enforcement of obnoxious laws. But
above all, as judges, we could interpret
all laws favorable to wealth, even az
they are now invariably construed
While apparently eager to carry out
their principles, we could contriVe to
throw obstacles in the way Of the work.
In few years, the people, wearied with
fruitless endesvor, would sink back into
their old apathy and resign all govern
ment to the professional politicians.
Then things would run on in the old
way until there was another outburst,
another proxysm which could be treated
in the manner outlined for the present
one, and so on.
One thing you may thank for keeping
the public mind off questions Of the
hour, especially financial questions. That
is the sensational trash of the newspa-
psrs, and also light fiction devoured by
many who like to read. Their taste be-
comes 80 vitiRted that they cannot read
anything Of depth. They have no Ca
pacity to grasp it. Murders, burglRries,
arson, lynohings and other crimes Of
darker hue absorb their minds wholly.
They can no more understand q deep
subject when they read it, after diet on
such stuff, than q child can read Egyp-
tisn hieroglyphics. Here ia one explRna-
tion why the farmers are as rule Popu-
lists and the townsmen old pRr6yites.
The farmers have not become accus-
toned TO the swill OF the daily press.
They soon surfeit on the scandal and
foulness which is turned out daily. They
read instead magazines, books and
pamphlets dealing with deep questions.
Many Kansas farmer can tell you more
about the laws Of the nation respecting
money than the average banker. Many
are deeply versed in political economy.
II we could get them TO put in their
time reading the frothy nothings Of the
daily papers, we would soon make them
less able to hold their own in the dis
ounsions of economic questions in which
they delight. Find group of men In q
store, at the postofice, gathered at q
sale or anywhere that they may by
chance congregsse. They are talking
politics. They DISCUSS the effect OF in
flation and contraction. The Populists
in the bunch invariably lead the talk to

your state may yet be oyerthrown. Do
your part and you will probably receive
your reward. The creditor class needs
your services. The fight must be kept
up until we are forever secure.
