Trusts, Tariff and Reciprocity.
Other questions which, in addition to
the appropriation bills. are expected
to receive attention of the Senate this
session are the trusts. the tariff and
Cuban reciprocity. 1t is possible that
the Cuban question may be postponed
until the pending commercial treaty
with the Cuban government shall be
transmitted to the Senate. but there
has, not been any determination on
that point.
Very few Republican senator's admit
the probability of any change of the
tariff law during the present session,
but some bills to modify present sched-
ules may be introduced and speeches
made thereon. Some senator's speak of
the creation of a tariff commission as
possibility. but there are differences
of opinion as to the utility of such a
body.
There is quite unanimity of opin-
ion favorable to antitrust legislation.
