THE NEW TARIFF BILL.
Democrats Crilicise 1t In a Saw
age Manner.
Fl GODS OF ORATORY EXPECTED.

WASHINGTON. March 10 Special j
Congress is now in session again and will
probably remain with us until the middle
of July or the LIST of August 1t is easy to
get congress together, but not so easy to
get rid of it. The new tariff bill which ev-
erybody Is now studying gives very good
satisfaction 10 the Republicans, but the
Democrats criticise 1t savagely. Within
week it is expected the debate on the bill
will begin. Although there are 100 or
more members of the house anxious to dis
| tinguish themselves by participation in
| this debate, Speaker Reed makes bold to
| say that he intends To push the measure
| through his end of congress in short order
| The tariff is the one subject which al
| IL ost every man in congress thinks himself |
| qualified to discuss. If the floodgates OF |
oratory were opened there Is no telling
where the end would come. Mr.. Reed
knows from long experience how to sup
press the ambitious orators of his end OF
the capitol, and the great majority of them
will have to be satisfied with leave to
print" Under this beneflcent rule acres
and acres of tariff speeches never delivered
will be printed in The Congressional Rec
ord and sent out to the patient constituents
throughout the country.
The Presidents Plan.
President Mckinley adheres rigidly to
his programme, which long ago accurate
" announced in these dispatches. He still
hopes to get the tariff bill through both
houses of congress and upon the statute
I | books by the end of the fiscal year, June
= 30 Whether he will succeed or not re-
mains to be seen. The present plan, To
which Speaker Reed has agreed, Is 10 put
:. the tariff bill through the house at an early
day and send it over to the senate Ihere
II 1t is hoped the pressure OF pubic OPINION
2 will secure prompt action. TURN inc
lIrht ON the senate is to be the cry when
~, lew tax measure makes its appearance
n | In that body.
~ But the Republican leaders in the upper
r branch know they have a very delicate
campaiQn before them. While there Is ev
ery assurance that the tariff bill will pass
70 the senate, the question of when depends
upon n great many things The truth II
that IL will be passed whenever the Dem
ocrats. silver Republicans and Popu
;, lists are willing it should pass and not DC
fore. They hold the whip hand, and ever
I'D one knows 1t. At the present time incl
nc policy is not to delay the measure peyoh
IT. n reasonable time. But whether or no
d. they continue in this frame OF nina d'
he ponds wholly upon circumstances. III VI
