bretnr-... 1t is immaterial whether
they do or not, as in my opinion suf-
ficient number of sound money DEM
ocratic senators will assist the Repub-
licans to pass the necessary tariff legis-
lation in the Fifty-fourth congress to
supply the existent deficit I'm the reve-
nue.. at least shall so vote, and | un-
derstand that Senator German and a
number of others occupy the same po-
sition."
Senator Sherman says: I'm the pres
ent condition of affairs 7 do not care
to cypress my opinion as to the proper
tariG and financial legislation of this
or the next congress"
Senator Allison. of 1owa-"I do not
think Il is practicable to predict what
will be core, or can be done, as re-
spect, tariff and financial legisla:io
during the last session of the fifty
fourth congress. / hope the Ding.ey bill
will pass with such notifications as
may be necesasry to secure sufficient
revenue TO carry on the government.
If this Cnnot be done during the Fifty.
fourth 1t seems to me an extra session
of the F'ifty-fifth congress Is newt

Senator Hawley. Of Connecticut
"As to the financial legislation to be
expected from the coming session l
should hope that a well guarded, care
full bill, defining the circumstances un-
der which the executive might issue
bonds. may be passed. The possibility
of adopting a satisfactory revision of
the tariff seems to me very doubtful.
If the revenues permits it. the matter
ought to go over to the extra session
Of the Fifty fifth congress. with view
to securing such revision as | refer to-.
If that could be had 1t would prob
ably give the country very desirable
, rest in the matter for the next four
years"
Senator Walthall. of MIssissippi-"I
see no reason to justify the expecta-
ton that there will be any important
tariff or financial legislation at the ap-
preaching session of congress. | can
form no opinion as to what will be
done at q possible extra session of the
Fifty-fifth congress in advance of the
senatorial elections to occur during the
coming winter" The views of Senator
Morgan, of Alabam:. and Senator
Tijlman. of South Carolina, have al
ready been published in these dis
patches.
MR.. DINGLEY HAS NO HOPE.
Mr.. Dingley, of Maine, refers to the
recently published interview in these
dispatches. i'm which he expressed the
opinion that there was not the slight
est hope of the passage of the so-called
Diugley bill by the senate at the next
session of congress. and tnat the house
woulc not propose anything further
in this direction at the approaching
short session.
General GrosvenOr, of Ohio-"I do not
believe it possible that any material
legislation for the benefit of the coun-
try can be passed in the fifty-fOurtl
congress. The senators who have left
the Republican party in the interest OF
a few silver mine owners of the west
will resent rather than obey the de-
mandS 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 fifty soulless corporations of
the Rocky Mountains. Hence these
men who have no future in the Repub-
lican party will resist all attempts to
relieve the treasury by any legislation
that does not recognize the paramo-S
interest 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.
Il do believe that the Republican
party will be in position in the fifty
fifth congress to save the country from
bankruptcy and the industries of the
country from destruction. Any at
tempt by combinations in the senate OF
i'm the house to impede the carrying
into law the will of the people will
destroy the men who ATTEMPT 1t. They
will be run over and crushed"
Representative Steele. of Indiana
Il hope that the senate will now agree
to the bill to provide temporary re-
lief for the government and meet the
| deficiency in the revenue, and one pro-
viding for advertising the sale of bonds
and one providing for a temporary
loan, that were reported from the com.
