Last week a man giving his name

the Tolu neighborhood, claiming to

COMMENTS on THE LETTER.
Feeling in Congress That The Presi-

WAsHTSGToN, July 19.--Mnch as
the letter Of the President was enjoy
ed by the mass Of Democrats on the
floor, there was unreadiness to COM
ment on it ia conversation .that was
characteristic OF the .timidty OF the
House, or perhaps distrust after the
many mistakes OF the House, to ventue

might not agree with,
The members could not see, at once
that the effect Of the Presidents letter
on the tariff situation would be some
thing ike his proclamation on the
strike situation, and that it was likely
to set in motion the block train Of
| legislation
1t may be natural for the members
to imagine that the country takes the
same interest in their contentious thai
it does in the strong ana direct opin
ions Of the President. Congress can
not realize that it IS more important

way toward fixing the opinion that
the Senate was out OF key with the
people on the tariff question, and that
the President was right ard in perfect
accord with the rank and file OF his
party, The President and the House
as Mr.. Wilson pointed out, were elect
ed by the people, The Senators were
elected by Legislatures that were
sometimes controlled by sinister mo-
tiyes and methods.
The Senate is out Of touch with the
people, and having more intimacy
with the corporations that lean upon
Legislatures for favors, they naturally
seek to do such turns as they may for
the corporations they have found
powerful.
The House resents the usurp.ion by
the Senate of the right to make the
revenue bill, and it feels as il it were
backed by the epeople.
The Democrats OF the House are de-
lighted to find that the President and
themselves are in substantial accord
When asked what he thought OF the
letter OF the President, Senator Hill
replied
"In the language OF the novel, the
plot thickens. prefer TO say nothing
at this time as TO the propriety or wis
dom of the letter. 1t comes rather
late, and may complicate the whole
situation and defeat all tariff legisla-
tion whatever.
"If the President. instead of writing
letter, had exercised his influence TO
assist me in getting votes for free raw
material when was making the fight
therefor in the Senate, the present
unfortunate complication might have
been avoided.
"I trust that there will be more
votes now for free raw material when

in the Senate, which ! expect TO do

"The Presidents letter." said Sena-
tor Mills, "is the uttersnce OF the

GAS he says, we must meet each

of the members who recently hav

ic faith in all parts of the country
while some time ago opposed TO th,
Presidents views on silver, are un
shakably attached to him on genera
principles, and disposed to chide theil
representatives for assuming to "pes
ter" him because of his Individual
opinions. Mr.. Cochran was emphatic
and direct, although brief.
al am glad he wrote it," was all that
Mr. Cochran had to say about the let.
ter. 1t was enough.
Gov McCreary, of Kentucky, who
has faith in the judgment and clear
ness of foresight, said that he was sure
that his stand for tariff reform as the
House had declared for it would meet
with the approval Of the party in all
parts Of the country.
Gen. Wheeler, of Alabama, consid-
cred the letter very strong and good
one, and it was his opinion that it
would help to secure a satisfactory re-
suit Of the tariff controversy.
MIR. Hatch, Of Missouri, did not hear
the letter very well, and desired to
read it in ''cold type" before express.
ing an opinion about it.
G. r, Breckinridge, who was famil.
lar with the letter, saw o impropriety
in its submission to tue House, al
though it was private communities
tion to Mr.. Wilson.
"The President" said he, twas ex-
pected to be heard from on the inn
poTtant subject of silver. lie had
sent a, message TO Congress on that
subject. There was no opportunity
for him to adopt that plan in this
case. Reports have been circulated
by those who have had reason perhaps
Tor encouraging them that the Presi-
dent has not had as much interest in
the success of the Tariff bill as he had
in the passage Of the silver purchase
repeal. He has made it plain that he
is fully alive to the difficulties and in.
dleated what he believes should be
the course of the House, which is en-.
trusted under the Constitution with
the duty of making a revenue meas
ure.
1t is good letter, and it may prove
influential in bringing our controver
sizes to successful determination.
Mr.. Bryan, Of The Ways and Means
Committee had nothing to say abou,
the letter, but he was not like the vas
mass OF House Democrats who haG
cheered it in the House and flung W
their paper in recognition of its strong
phrases. 1t is one thing, however
to cheer an expression and another t
make comment that is criticism OF th,
Senate. The willingness to do tina
was as general as the glee at the re
port that the Senate was "spittinI

If the Senate was mad, it was at
