How It Looks For Tarir
The sugar schedule being the pivotal
point OF the tariff bill, and the Democrats
having preserved their lines on that
schedule, the passage OF the measure is
now assured. IL 10 expected, therefore, 10
20 through the senate in the form decided
upon by the managers without much de-
lay. This fact is now freely admitted by
the Repu blicans, and with all hopes OF
defeating the bill dissi ipated, the incen-
tive for opposition is removed, and IL 10
probable It's future progress will not be
impeded by dilatory methods.
There will be considerable contention
over the cotton and wooden schedules
and the sections relating TO the income
tax, but the remainder Of the bill Is likely
10 be completed within the coming two
