During the week part of the Baltic

strength of the garrison. it is probable

MODERATE TARIFF REVISION.
But Not Before seth Congress Meets a
Year Hence.

Tariff revision of an extremely mod.
crate sort by the 59th congress when
1t meets in regular session n year
hence Is the way the agitation of the
political subject In various parts of the
country impresses Senator Foraker of
Ohio. He is not impressed by declara-
tions of strong revisionists that unless
an extra session is called next spring
the revising process will come so close
to the next congressional elections that
the republican majority in the house
will be imperiled.
Revision Is a part OF the political
game he well knows. but his judgment
Is that while alterations In the Ding
ley schedules will come, they will be
so slight eventually that the country
will easily accustom itself to them
without danger of such dire Industrial
consequences as the antirevisionists
predict.
