Pawtucket tribune. (Pawtucket, R.I.) 1890-189?, 1894-04-27

tax proposition. Mem bsrs or tns nnancs
committee have all along expressed the
opinion that the president was not OPP
posed 10 this tax: but a prominent New
York Democrat who has talked with the
president within the last day or two con-
cerning this matter came away from the
executive mansion feeling assured thet
the proposition did not meet with his APP
proval
1t il now understood that the Republi-
cans from the silver states will not assist
In breaking a quorum, as they desire to
take revenge upon the sound money sena-
tors of their party for the fight they made
during the extra session. Senator Teller's
intimation of the attitude of his silver
colleagues Is received with great favor by
the Democrats. II the western Republi-
cans vote with the Democrats TO make q
quorum, the task Of the latter will be
lighter and the bill may be pushed more
rapidly to a conclusion.
The principal changes to be made In
the tariff bill, In accordance with the
agreement made by Democratic senators,
are In the income tax and the sugar
schedule. The sugar men have been from
the first clamorous for ad valorem in
stead OF a specific duty, and that change
has been conceded. The duties are not
absolutely fixed, but there is little doubt
that the sugar schedule will be entirely
supplanted by new one, which will pro-
vide uniform duty of 20 per cent sd
valorem with an addition OF IS Of cent
for refined sugar.
No Definite Action.
Senator Aliens resolution declaring
that IL was the constitutional right OF
American citizens to assem- BILE and pc
tition congress was laid before the sen.
ate 1t was opposed by numb Der Of seu-
ators, and finally went to the calendar
without action.
Mr.. Vest deprecated the introduction
OF the resolution, holding that apy COM
promise by congress with the so-called
Coxey men would open crevasse In the
integrity of the government, which would
end in blood and destruction.
Mr. WoIcott characterized the resolu-
tion as cringing invitation to a horde
of lawless marauders- The formation of
these deluded bodies of men was due
largely to men like the governor Of his
state (Coloradol whose gyrstions and an
tics had brought dishonor and discredit to
the state and sullied its fair name. IL
was time to take courage and stand to-
osther against the socialism, Populism
and paternalism which was running riot
throughout the country, and which
would end in the destruction Of liberty.
Senators Dolph and Gray also opposed
the resolution. Senator Allen spoke in
favor of It. At las O'Clock IL was dis
placed by the resolution to meet each day
at IL O'clock which was taken mp by the
overwhelming vote of 81 to Q, and agreed
