80 they will be held separate in the
treasury and not included within the
general assets Of the government.
Several important considerations
operated to bring about the changes
in the tariff bill. There has been little
doubt from the beginning that sugar
would be exempted from whatever
tariff changes we're made, because any
attempts to alter the schedule would
give rise to complications.
The discussion to drop farm pro-
ducts aud cattle from the list Of duties
to be advanced will cause much dis
appointment among the western men,
but 80 much trouble arose over the
settlement OF these items that it was
thought best TO drop their Considera-
ton. An effort was made to have iron
and steel and their products given an
advance, but il met the opposition Of
the western men and was abandoned,
it's abandonment also having some
thing to do with dropping the live
stock and cereal advances contemplate
cd. The iron and steel interests ar
gued that they should be equally fav-
ored with the farmers
The populst senator's have decided
to offer free silver coinage bill as an
amendment to either tariff or bond
bill.
II is not at all likely that either
plan will become a law as a democrat
10 president and republican house,
and senate controlled by populist
votes will have much difficulty in
agreeing.
1t is a little difficult to see just how
increased tariffs will give greater rev.
euues and at the same time give more
work to home labor. The popullsts
will have chance to get much need
cd legislation this session.

Financial Legislation .

Last Friday the president sent a
special message to congress asking
for the enactment of measures for the
relief Of the treasury. Congress in
reply will pass two acts one tariff
measure, the other bond bill. The
republican plan is to make the tariff
higher. Two or three measures have
been talked Of, but the latest lndica-
tions are that the following will be
introduced:
The most important change in the
tariff bill was to drop the clause out
ting in cereal breadstuffs, live stock
and dairy products at an advance of
% per cent over the Wilson. German
rates, so these features will simply
have the Is per cent advance under
the horizontal clause. It was also de-
cided to advance carpet woods to the
Mckinley bill rates, but other woods
and manufactured products Of wool
remain, at 60 per cent of the Mckinley
tariff, according to the agreement Of
Monday. The other change was to
exempt sugar from the provisions Of
the clause for the horizontal advance OF
Is per cent. Lumber will remain, as
was decided before, at'6O per cent Of
the Mckinley duty.
In the bond bill the principle issue
authorized will be with a change OF
the rate Of interest authorized by the
act of 1876 from 4 to 8 per cent, and
these bonds will be I syable at the op.
ton of the government after three
years. The rate of interest for the
one year treasury certificates Of in.
dtbtedness was raised from 2 to 3 Del
cent. This bill also provides for the
temporary isolation Of the grsenbaCkp

crate side, has been repealed by the
senate without a dissenting vote, there
by removing the last yestgae of the
Rebellion. The passage of such re-
peal, in a senate having a republican
plurality, and with northern senators
taking the initiative, lent a graceful
ness and significance to the action in
marked contrast with former contro-
versies in congress- The southern
senators, with the exception of Mr..
Daniel of Virginia, took no part in
urging the repeal, and several of them,
including Messrs Walthall and Cock
rell, who served in the Confederate
ranks, voted for a postponement by
reference to committee. But with
such champions on the republican
side of the chamber as Messrs Chand-
Ter, Hawler and Plat, and on the
democratic side as Mr.. Hill and Mr..
Voorhees,, the repeal was readily &C.
