the customs tariff altogether from trust

seventh Congress-, and, as he Is men,
Der OF the ways and means committee,
he is almost certain to get his bill re-
ported to the House, but whether it
will pass or not, that is a horse OF an
other color. Mr.. Baboock is republl-
can and represents a considerable

antagoOistic TO trusts and their doiogs,
but whether this bill will have strength
to fight, both 10 the House and in the
Senate, the forces of the trusts which
are strongly intrenched in both houses
of Congress, remains TO be sen. Al
ready he is being threatened with dire
vengeance by the republican leaders,
even with defeat for reelection, II he
persists 10 his efforts to interfere With
the present high tariff laws aid he may
be forced to abandon the contest. But
