In the congress there is no prospect
that " the next one will make a
new tariff or that the republicans may
be defeated in the next election so as
to, give a majority, to the democrats
in the next house. The war debts bWiil

GspHbilcans in voting ways and means.
Inrtviewd6f the enormous gush over

is hardly probable that the republic

Force bill voter, but he will hardly
