revenue or serious difficulties will arise.
If my assumption is correct that the
senate will reject the house bill at the
coming short session and that no meas
ure will be passed that will restore the
financial equilibrium. there is only one
plan to be followed. There is cause for
President-elect Mckinley to call an es-
traordinary session.
1T is my judgment that such a ses-
sion need not be a lorg one unless the
senate purposely prolongs debate.
Protection is principle, not a mat
ter of rates.
LAS the house of representatives is
the source of all revenue legislation and
is Republican in political complexion.
it will maintain the principle of protec-
ton. but with justice and moderation.
while 1 have expressed myself thus
frankly as to the necessity Of such a re-
vision of the tariff as will cause it to
yield sufficient revenue, yet 1 believe
that whatever steps are taken should
be taken with care and moderation, not
giving cause for criticism by sound
money Democrats who have co-operated
with us in the campaign"

ROUTINE LEGISLATION
VIII Be the Only Outcome of the Coming
Session.


WASHINGTON, Nov 23.-Members
of the senate are coming to Washington
each day, and from interviews with each
of the arrivals, it is apparent that the
senators expect little save routine legis-
lation including the passage of the an
nual appropriation bills at the short ses-
sion of congress. Senators Cockrell of
Missouri and Hawley of Connecticut
both gave expression to their opinions
today, and both likewise agreed in the
opinion that nothing need be expected
at the coming session in the way of
helping along an international bimetal-
lie conference. Senator Hawley don't
believe the Dingley bill will be enacted
into law, adding: THE Dngley bill
is confeSSedly mere makeshift with
all the defects incident to horizontal in
crease or decrease of duties. If it should
be passed as it is it seems to me it would
be the duty of the president to assemble
congress as soon as possible after the
fourth of March for a diligent considera-
ton and revision of the whole tariff in
a considerate and conservative spirit,
to the end that a bill might be passed
that would stand the test of years, sub
ject, of course to an occasional correc-
tion where new inventions and changes

WIRE NAILS WILL BE CHEAP
Until the Small Manufacturers Have
Been Sirangled
The Great Trust is Broken, But the Pool
Has a Nice Little Surplus
Laid Aside

CLEVELAND, o.. Nov. 23.-The small
nail manufacturers of the country will
begin to feel tomorrow the heel of the
wire nail combination on their necks.
Beginning tomorrow the pool will dis
continue paying subsidies to the wire
manufacturers to keep them out of the
nail market. and consequently the mar
ket will soon be overstocked. The II.
=. Nail company of this city, member
of the pool, denies emphatically that the
pool has quit business A manufacturer
who sells steel rods to a wire nail con-
cern said today. when the wire nail
pool was organized 1.70 a keg was rlxde
the basis, and for each keg sold the
manufacturer who entered into this
gentleman's agreement was to receive
that sum, the money coming through
the commission and the sales being made
by the officers Of the pool, who have
their headquarters in Boston. The out
put of each mill was fixed by these Off
GERS in order that the supply of nails
should not exceed the demand and thus
bear the market. The sales being made
through the officers of the pool, each
manufacturer in it was credited with
$40 for every keg sold and the differ
ence between the pool price and the
market price was turned into the treas
ury and harvested in good interest bear
ing securities. This surplus has
reached a good sum, and is owned by
the pool as whole. What will be done
with it, only those on the inside know,
but it is believed that it will be used in
bolstering up the pool manufacturers.
