THE NEW TARIFF BILL NOT LIKELY TO BECOME

Washington Dec. % (SpeciaD.-Ex- Governor

his opinion on two points:

and generally accepted az representing the main
elements OF the Ways and Means bill to be reported

I cannot see how the Senate could adopt the pro-

can how the President could fail to veto H. He

Ir,s rENNsNLNANIA NOW.

The action Of the Republican convon-

couivocally for sound money and against
the free coinage OF silver ought to con-
tain a lesson OF powerful significance 70

tor. Don Cameron, has been a blatant
advocate of free coinage. and IL was
