THE SILVER PARTY AND THE TARIFF.-The
dinner given 10 ex-senator Dubois last night by the
silver Republicans Of the Senate and House re-

policy to be pursued by the silver party with refer
ence TO the Dingley Tariff bill The result was

enactment Of the bill into law. This has been
known 10 be the policy of "A majority of the silver
Republicans, but they had not hitherto agreed
upon this action in concert. 1t was not deter
mined whether the members should vote for the
Dill, but II was made practically certain that none
OF them would vote against IT, leaving it to indi-
vidudl preference whether to for IL or refrain
from voting. The Senatorial members of the party
said that there would be time enough for them TO
make choice between these two lines of action
when the bill should be reported the Senate

any tactics TO delay final vote on the bill but
that they Will demand all the time necessary 10
explain the position they occupy a party and as
individuals. The opinion generally expressed
at the meeting that the passage of the bill would
not bring return Of prosperity and that 1t was
good policy for the silver party TO allow this to be
demonstrated TO the country.

MR.. GRosvENoRs ARGUMENT.

Mr.. Grosvenor Qsep. ohio began by referring to
the necessity Of speedy action In the matter Of
tariff legislation. Speaking Of the condition Of the
country in November. 1896. lie declared that never
In the history Of the United States was there so
much terror. foreboding and doubt in the minds OF
men as that date. This great calamity had
come upon the country substantially by reason of
the single act of Democratic ConRress-the repeal
Of the Mckinley law. The issue Of 1896. upon
which the battle had been fought and the victory
won, was the issue Of protective tariff. Every in
te,ligent man who participated in the campaign
and went from one State TO another was conscious
now of the fact that more than a million voters
who had been humbugged by the specious cry Of
the communists Of tax upon wealth and enter

At conference in Exeter Hall the
Rev. E. c. Smyth of Shantung, says
the Fiji Times, delighted the audience
with humorous speech, marked here
and there with touches of pathos and
also earnest appeals. In the course of
his address he declared much nonsense
was being talked about China after the
war. The fact was only out of 10
provinces knew there had been a war,
and three of these provinces believed
Japan had been soundly beaten. There
were no newspapers and no letters, and
the Government pulled the wires. The
people were kept in ignorance, but he
said impressively if they had known
the truth there would have been a
frightful revolution and deluges Of
blood would have been shed.
