WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.-The possible
attitude of silver republicans in refer
ence to the tariff bill has been the theme
Of considerable talk about the senate
since the Wilson bill reached that body.
Inquiry develops the fact that they
will without exception oppose the bill
for two reasons:
Thsy are protectionists in principle
and some of them think if The tariff
could be allowed to remain as at present
it would be in the interest of silver.
They argue that if the tariff is changed
and hard tim continue many will be
TO fiEd in this change a cause
Of depression; whereas, if the tariff is
allowed to remain as it is and times
do not improve it viii at o ce become |
apparent that the tariff had not caused |
1ullness and the people will be led to
believe it was due TO the scarcity OF |
money.
Wtiie, however, the silver-re publican |
senator's will oppose the bill, and sill |
vote against it and Will make especial |
efforts tt defeat the clauses be ring |
upon special interests of their separate |
states, IL is probable that soms Of them |
will not aid their republican colleagues !
IN securing delay on the passage of the |
Dill.
