Gle signed by Gen. Grosvenor. congress-
man from the Eleventh Ohio district. in
which he outlines his views as to the
policy OF the Republican party. He says
tn the outset that he expresses his own
views and does not undertake to connect
or represent any other member OF the
party than himself. Furthermore. he does
rot ever consent TO bind himself TO these
views should the majority OF his Repub-
lean associates on the ways and means
committee dissent from him. He says:
THE question OF the hour. IL seems 20
me. so far as relates TO economic legisia-
ton. Is. Ought the Fifty-four,h congress
In It's closing session TO pass the DInaiev
bill. or should that measure be allowed 10
perish, and the Republican party move
forward to the discharge Of the hish duty
imposed upon Il by the recent election7' :.
On these questions Gen. Grosvenor
takes the position that although IL might
be well II the Dingiey bill could be passed
for temporary relief and be followed
Immediately after the 4th OF March in
an extra session OF congress by the pass
age ef a proper permanent measure. vet
the PASSAGE OF that tentative bill viii
hinder and obstrucf the passage of a
proper measure. and therefore IL should
not be attempted. He critielses the Ding
ley bill FOR proposing ad valoresr duties
which have been proved standing Invita-
tons 10 defraud the government. This
was one great defect OF the Wilson bill.
and il should be remedied In future leeis-
lat!on.
