DENIES AND ADMITS.
Perry Heath Says an Attempt Isn't
Being Made to Force the Tariff

Chicago, Sept. 24.-Perry s. Heath,
chairman of the Republican bureau of
publication and printing denies that an
attempt is being made to change the
issue from free silver to the tariff.
'Since the opening of the campaign"
said Mr.. Heath, we have sent out over
question alone and are now sending out
5000 900 every week through the medi-
UNI of country newspapers, etc. But I
think at the same time that the tariff
question will play an important part in
the campaign from now on. Where we
now receive one request for literature
on the currency question, We receive
four for tariff literature, and the de-
nand is constantly growing. Speakers
all over the country report an increas-
ing interest in the tariff question
