SHERMAN SPEAKS OUT.
Says More Revenue is Needed but a
New Tariff Law Not Practicable.

Now Tariff Law n OF FractlcabIe,
Ashland, O.. Aug. 2s.-Emmet Ritten-
house recently wrote a letter to SEN
ator John Sherman inquiring what, in
his opinion, the Republican party, If it
came into power now, would do to pay
off the existing bonds and the interest
thereon. The senator replied as fol-
lows:
Mansfield, O., Aug. o. 1896
Dear Sir: The only way in which
Republican administration can correct
the evils of the past is by increasing
the revenue by d new tariff law, and
this, I fear, is not practicable. Very
truly yours, JOHN SHERMAN"
Prominent Republicans suppressed
the letter as soon as its contents be-
came known. It was written on a
senate chamber letterbead.
