WILL NOT TOUCH TARIFF.
RefOrmers Have Poor Prospect of
Securing Revision of the EN-
listing Schedule.

Tariff reformers in congress are dis
concerted over the legislative plans of
the leaders. The western members
who favor a revision of the customs
duties to meet changed conditions
were encouraged by the general un-
derstanding which prevailed that aft
er the presidential campaign some
thing would be done to revise certain
Objectionable schedules. They are
awakening to the fact that the grow
ing demands upon the public treasury
will, before this congress has adj
journed, reach such proportions as
nearly TO equal the surplus, if not
actually cause a deficit, says a Wash
ington special to the Chicago Record
Herald.
While these republican members are
not opposed to a service pension bill
and the Panama canal project, they are
beginning to realize the appropriations
carried by the first measure. which
will amount to $30,000,000 annually,
and the enormous outlay involved in
the completion of the isthmian water
way, taken in addition to the regular
appropriations, will bring the total eX-
penditures to unusual proportions.
Next session. or the session following,
a river and harbor and a public build
ing bill will come in to. further swell
the demands upon the public treas
ury.
No one knows better than they that
it will be extremely difficult if not i'm
possible to make much headway in
congress with tariff revision crusade,
unless a surplus is piling up in the
treasury. The republican leaders will
not sanction a reduction of the rev.
enues as long as the expenditures
threaten to create a deficit. Although
they have not abandoned hope, these
western republicans appreciate that
conditions are against them, and are
doing a great deal of talking among
themselves to discover the remedy.
