DEBATING TARIFF Bill. fEaKs q
Drags Along Without Sensational Or Very
Interesting Features.
ESPECIAL TO THE PREss.l

Washington, March 25-The general
debate on the tariff bill has dragged on
without developing any Sensational or
very interesting features, If one or two
notable speeches be excepted. The Demo-
cratic assault upon the bill has been
nor united. There is reason to believe
that at heart many of the members on
that side of the House are not adverse to
seeing the bill en- acted. Indeed, Robert
son of Louisiana, would probably have
voted. for the bill had lot he been ap-
pointed one of the minority members on
the ways and means committee. This
put him in a position where he felt
forced to stand by his party. Neither
has there been any Republican detection.
Free trade Republicans are not SO nu-
merous as they once were, and the old
scenes of the SO and 51st Congresses, where
one or two of them sided with the Demo-
crafts, have not been repeated. There mas
been no one to follow in the steps OF
Knute Nelson, who favored the Mills
plll, anu lo6uJs DuuboI WoIoh, va" DPOAS
against the Mckinley bill.
The Populists in the House are gen.
orally opposing the tariff bill on the
ground. apparently, that it is their duty
to be against the government Some OF
them profess to believe that protection is
essential; but they declare that this bill
fayors trusts and combines. These
words have shrieked and roared in every
form of utterance from the threats of the
Populist memb ers since the debate be-
gan.
I. The fact is that, that the bill is obnox-
ious to two or three Of the biggest trusts.
] he sugar trust especially does not like
the sugar schedule, and several other Sec
lions are equally obnoxious to the trusts
interested OF course it does not follow
that the sugar schedule will remain as it
is finally. The trusts are much more
likely to get their way in the Senate than
in the House. For in order to get their
way in the House they must get ma
jority of the members; while in the
Senate two or three Senators oan. under
the rule. dictate to the remainder.
Mr.. Newlands, the Nevada Sllverite,
has earnestly supported the bill, in mar
ked contrast to the Populists with whom
he affiliaues to certain extent This is
thought to portend Silverite support in
the Senate.
In the debate the Democrats and their.
allies have occupied much more time
than the Republicans. Having able
mem bers on the ways and means COM
mittee the Republicans rely on them
more. This reliance is not misplaced.
The speeches of the Republican commit
teemen have been uniformly able. Mr..
Dolliver, of lowe. who spoke Tuesday,
made one Of the most enjoyable speeches
ever heard on the floor. As rule all the
Republican talk has gone -staight to the
mark, while the Democrats have scat
cred. MCMILLAN. the best Informed
Democrat on the subject, can hardly DO
said to be the equal of any one of eight
or nine Republicans who can be picked
out. Bailey, the Democratic leader, has
made speciality of constitutional law.
