THE TARIFF BILL.

The tariff bill has not satisfied its
friends any more than its enemies.
There is no instance on record in
which a proposed revision of the tariff
has met with such disfavor and objec-
ton on the part OF all business inter
ests. The bulk of the protests which
have poured into the room of the COM
mittee on ways and means have come
from advocates of protection, but the
Dinlgey style of protection does not
seem to be of the kind they wish. Un-
der great pressure the republican ma
jority of the ways and means commit
tee have decided to put scientific ap-
paratus and books for colleges and Ii
braries on the free list and to reduce
the proposed duty on pineapples to Sc
a thousand. They may make other
notifications.
During his speech in the House yes
terday in favor of the tariff bill, Mr..
Grosvenor created much amusement
by challenging the democrats to offer
either the Wilson bill as it passed the
House or the present law as substi-
tute for the pending bill. "The Will
son bill could not secure ten votes on
that side of the House," he said, "and
not ten of you would dare to vote for
the present law and go back and look
your constituents in the face. The bill
confessedly wrecked the country, but,
thank God, it also wrecked the demo-
cratic party.n
