THE SENATE AND THE TARIFF.

Can it be possible that the senate will

If the agents Of the whisky trust had
dictated the terms Of the bill il could
scarcely have been more TO their liking
Perhaps they did so Who knows who
are and who are not agents of the
whisky trust in Washington?-N. Y.

Senatorial courtesy is growing mora
intolerable at every session Of congress.
One of the great reforms that the &C
emulation OF milliOnaires and Doodle
spectators in the senate calls for is the
election OF United States senators by
poular vote. II the people once get at
IL, they will make senatorial elections a
matter of craftsmanship and character
instead of a matter Of merchandise

Already the democratic members II
the finance committee have spent more
time in preliminary tinkering with the
Wilson bill than the house took TO pass
it, and the delay in the future bids fair
to be more intolerable than that which
has already tried the patience Of the
country That this has been disastrous
to trade and business is well known.
That IL will prove damaging 10 the demo-
cratic party is more than likely--N. Y

The Baltimore Manufacturers Record,
which knows nearly as much about po-
litical economy as a canary knows about
calculus. is making much ado over any
reduction of the coal tariff, processing
to prove that a reduction would give
Nova Scotia coal men an opportunity to
deliver coal in our markets much
cheaper than American coal. II the
Record is right, then the senate COM
mittee has committed all the greater
crime aginst the people in removing coal
from the free list, on which II had been
placed by the Wilson bill.-Louisville
CONGRESSIONAL (dem)
The newspaper reports that ] am OPP
posed to the tariff bill are groundless.
am not saying that l shall vote for
the senate report just as il comes from
the finance committee. Nebraska IS
something Of a sugar state. as you know,
and / am FOR anything that viii beneht
our beet-sugar industry. But in gem
eral way I am for the Wilson bill, and
shall doubtless support IL whether IL
suits me in all respects or not. i am not
talking for other populist senators. and
my expressions are not 10 be taken as
voicing their sentiments, though in n
general way | believe they are all for
the tariff bin.-Senator Allen pop) in
Washington Post
For the conservative senators who
have Mckinleyized the Wilson Dill me
fiimsy excuse is put forth that they did
Il i'm response to the clamor OF their con-
stituents. But what did these gentle
men expect? Did they suppose that the
pamperd children of protection would
surrender their privileges without a pro-
test and without an effort TO preserve
them? The excuse is preposterous.
Il impeaches the intelligence Of those in
whose behalf IL is offered. When Sem
ator Mills was asked by the wool-grow-
ers to oppose free wool he peremptorily
said. NO. and that was the end Of il.
When Tom Johnson was petitioned by
his constituents TO sustain high protec-
ton on glass he not only refused. but
read them a wholesome lesson in the
economies of tariff reform. Honest men
deal honestly with conditions they ex-
pect and invite. They don't shirk and
then hunt excuses-N. Y World Cdem)
