THAT TARIFF ISSUE
7rom our Special Correspondent.

From Our Special COrresp0ndent.
St. Louis. June 15.-A private tele-
graph wire runs from the rooms Occu-
pied by Mr.. Hanna into the residence
Of Major Mckinley. In the cor
reSpOndence over this wire today Nc
kinley expressed himself as diSappO1nt-
ed that the tariff was not being brought
more prominently to the front lie ad-
monished his trusted manager at this
end that he should devote his entire
influence to making the tariff the one
dominating question of the canvass
4n response Mr.. Hanna stated that
the financial question would not down.
that it confronted him at every turn.
and 1T was beyond his power to repress
the contest between gold and silver.
Mckinley then took another turn at
the wire He advised Hanna to assure
all Republicans seeking his advice that
high protection would. of itself. settle
the financial question; that with a Te-
turn to the import duties imposed by
the Mckinley tariff law, the country
would enter upon an era OF prosperity
that would relegate the money Ques-
tiOu to the rear.
Mr.. Hanna has made the experiment
or suDofd1nat1ng the financial issue to
TO convince him that it is not within
the capacity of the most potent leaders
to accomplish this end
AS the authorized representative and
spokesman of Mckinley, Mr- Hanna de
clineS to commit himself to a gold pro-
nunciamentO. He advises, 50 far as he
is willing, to go in making suggestions
on the subject that the platform can
be constructed without containing a
declaration as to gold.
The indications are that there VIII be
q prolonged contest in the committee on
resolutions over the financial plank.
The free coinage Republicans viii be
defeated in short order. They viii then,
if Senator Dubois understands their
purpose, unite with the gold men and
vote for a distinctive gold platform
The conservative, or moderate element.
viii contend for a declaration that viii
enable them to combat the silver senti-
ment in their respective districts. They
have expressed their willingness to ac-
cept the Indiana platform with the ref
erence to the ratio eliminated, or to
take declaration that the Republican
party will support the free coinage of
silver when that policy shall have been
approved by an International confer
ence
The embarrassing point is that any
phrase designed to placate the pro
silver Republicans, may offend the
staunch gold men of the east. The
other horn to the dilemma is that the
device to capture silver votes may be
too feeble to satisfy that element and
thus fail of effect. These difficulties
are seriously worrying Mr.. Hanna and
he VIII feel greatly relieved when the
committee on resolutions shall have
been named NJ. 4. n
