ALL Defends ON THE SENATE.
PETER Gives an Outline of His Views on
the Tariff Question.

IF 1t became clear as the result of
have a majority of the senate favora-
bic to the passage of a protective bill it
would be worth while to call a special
session, but otherwise it appears to me
that it would eb q useless experiment"
said Baker.
Senator PETER yesterday denied the
report telegraphed from Topeka that
he entered into an agreement in re-
gard to the tariff in connection with
his campaign for reelection. The dis
patch is wholly untrue" he said, and
continued: Il have no managers any,
where, and have not made or promised
any agreements relating to my re-elec-
ton. Next weeks edition of the To-
peka Advocate will contain an article
giving my tariff views. They are in
brief these: 1 never favored high du-
ties on any articles except Injuries. and
1 have long advocated free sugar, salt,
lumber and coal. l would levy high
duties on all articles used exclusively
by the rich and fastidious. and this not
for protection but for revenue. AS to
articles in universal use among the
poorer classes. they ought to be adj
mitted free of duty. What our farmers
sell are sold at prices regulated in for
eign markets, and our working people
are in open competition on their own
ground with the foreign laborer.
IF we have to work and sell in COM
petition with foreign labor and foreign
products let us buy at foreign prices.
We can raise our revenues easily, and
far more justly than we are now doing.

Next March-Peffer's Tariff Views.
Washington, Dec. 5.-There are now
quite a number of senators in this city
who walked out of the Republican ra-
tional convention. Senators Cannon.
Dubois and Pettigrew are here. and
met at the Capitol yesterday, but dis
cussed matters only in a general way.
There has been some speculation as
to whether these former Republican
senators would attend future Republi-
can caucuses. One of them when
questioned said that it would be time
enough for him to decide when he was
invited to a caucus. and called atten-
ton to the fact that notices always
are served on Republican senators that
a caucus is to be held. THE burden
of determining our standing in the par
ty rests with those who call the eau
Gus" he said. IF We are asked to
participate We will then decide what
to do" Another senator said that he
! would not attend any caucus at pres
| ent, and would await developments.
General Tendency Is TO Wait Awhile.
Teller, of Colorado. and Mantle, OF
| Montana, have not yet arrived, and it
is quite probable that there will be no
| concerted action on the part of the
silver men until the arrival of the
| former. The general impression of the
| silver senators is that no important
| legislation can be passed at this ses-
| sion. There is also an impression that
| the Republicans and the silver men
would prefer that nothing be brought
| to an issue until after the various SEN
atorial elections in the western states,
| when the complexion of the silver and
| Independent forces in the next senate
| will be more definitely ascertainaSle.
! As Viewed by senator Pettigrew.
Senator Pettigrew in an interview
| said he did not consider the prospects
for tariff legislation at the approaching
! session very good. but added that he
was protectionist and opposed to OBJ
! struction. Il should like to see the Re-
| publicans given all the protection they
| want he said. "in order that the coun-
try might discover that 1t is not the
| want of protection which is at faul,
| i'm the present condition of affairs
Senator Baker. of Kansas. also think:
the prospect for the passage OF the
Dingley bill very meagre, and is strong
ly opposed to it. He expressed ths
opinion that the question of an extra
session of congress next spring would
depend largely on the result Of sena
torial elections this winter.
