senators on the other side Of the house.
The populists have reached a conclu-

rccommit the substitute. With the bal
ance so evenly poised, as between the
two old political parties the decision OF
the populists cuts some figure: il is Of
radical account If the republicans and
democrats In the senate propose 10

tariff issue.

TO that. President DiaZ says the gov
