Not a Bill to Raise Revenue.

Before the final passage IF the tariff
necent statement OF Mr. Allison that
tae Republican party had abandoned all
idea of helping the Government 20 revenue
through fiscal legislation, and had deter
mined its tariff policy upon different and
darker considerations. Speaking on the
sugar schedule, he. said, II wish to dis
claim any responsibility for thiS duty as
q revenue duty"
Such an announcement coming from the
most cool-headed and-conservative man on

significant. From most OF his Adnlinistra-
tion colleagues, il might be passed by as
