Mr.. Dingley of Maine, chairman c
the house committee on ways an
means, and leader of the house, refer
to his recently published interview i
United Associated Presses dispatche:
in which he expressed the opinion tina
there was not the slightest hope of tn
passage of the so-called Dingley bi
by the senate at the next session O
congress, and that the house would no
propose anything further in this direc
ton at the approaching short session
Mr.. Dingley adds:
This covers all 1 have to say at
present.
GROSVENOR.
Representative Grosvenor of Obi
writes:
I do not believe it is possible
that any material legislation for
the benefit of the country. can be
passed in the Fifty-fourth congress.
Defeat, however crushing. disas-
trous and far-reaching, seldom con-
vinces anybody OF the error of their
way, and so the senators who have
left the Republican party in the in
terest of few silver mine owners
of the west will resent rather than
obey the demands of an enormous
majority of the people of the United
States, that the greatest good shall
be the rule of their action rather
than the selfish greed of less than
90 soulless corporations of the
Rocky mountains. Hence these men.
who have no future in the Repub
hcan party, will resist ali ATTEMPTS
to relieve the treasury by any legis-
lation that does not recognize the
paramount interests of the silver
mine owners. The Republicans of
congress will not submit to that.
and they have behind them the
overwhelming support of the Amer
lean people. Consequently no good
can come of the last session of the
Fifty-fourth congress-.
L do believe that the Republican
party will be in a position in the
affty-dfTh Congress- to save the
country from bankruptcy and the
industries of the country from de-
struction. The line of action is
matter which will have to be con-
sidered carefully in the future. The
confidence of the American people
in the patriotism and wisdom of the
Republican party has been now en-
phatically repeated and declared.
Any attempt by combination in the
senate or house to impede the carrv-
ing into law the will of the people
Will destroy the men who attempt
it They will be run over and
crushed. Yours truly,
&C. H. GROSVENOR."
RUSSELL.
Representative Charles A. Russell OF
member of the commit
ee on ways and means, says:
'The patriotic and businesslike
duty of the coming session of con-
gress (the last session of the Fifty
fourth congress), is to provide reve-
nue. for the needs of the govern
ment- That should be done by a
proper and reasonable increase of
customs duties. 1t could be effected
by the adoption of the revenue
measure Oingley bilD which the
house passed at the last session, or
some measure on the same lines
We have gone through, successfully,
an election where partisanship Was
put aside, and now congress should
put aside its partisanship in provid-
ing for the necessities of the gov
eminent and doing it Immediately.
If this be done, business will be
further benefited and possibly an
extra session of the new congress
will be unnecessary.
CHARLES A. RUSSELL
STEELE.
Representative Steele of Indiana ex-
resses his opinion ds follows:
4 hope the senate will now agree
to the bill to provide temporary
relief for the government and meet
bllC QCINACAiCy III Tic ltNSHue, anu
one providing for advertising the
sale of bonds and providing for a
temporary loan, that were reported
from the committee on ways and
means and passed the house last
December. Both were, in my estima-
ton, reasonable, judicious measures,
and if the senate should agree TO
them, it would put US in such shape
as to ohviate an extra session of
congress. 1 am, very respectfully,
GEORGE w. STEELE"
