Washlnoton, Nov f6-That there win
be any tarin legislation during tho forth
coming session Of congress is regarded
by everyone as in the highest degree im-
probable but Il is becoming more ap-
parent as the time for the session ap-
proaches that tho stand-patters are go-
ing TO have a busy time Of keeping the
I'd down on tho vexlng subject What
makes the prospect the more embarrass-
hng TO such faithful stand paters as
Speaker Cannon. IS the likelihood that in
their endeavor to tamper with the sac
rosanct schedules OF the Dingley law
The mischievous democrats viii be IN
stgate1 and encouraged by a considera-
bic nuvber Of republicans
Mr. Wniams. the minority leader Of
the democrats on the floor Of the house
viii make a vigorous assault or the tar
iii. a more vigorous one than he has
ever made before. He has devoted p
large part Of the GUNNER. 1t Is said to
the task Of preparing himself for this
fght and 1t is further reported that he
will present the issue to The republicans
Ia rather a novel form. Just how has
not been made quite clear though It is
intimated that he win put the faith Of
t,,e ,rotectionists to a test by proposing
that all schedules be lowered only 10 a
point which viii leave an ad valorem diff
ference OF 100 per cent in favor Of the
American laborer as against the pau
per labor of Europe
Meantime it was announced that a dell
egulon OF Massachusetts manufacturers
had made nm appointment to mect ihe
president for The purpose Of telling him
how imperatively necessary it is beeom-
Ing that t.e manufacturing industries
OF that section should have free raw
material and reciprocity In Canada. The
free raw ma.nr lis whicn thea np9u-
facturers especially desire are, &. Is fer-
haps unnecessary to say hides, wool
iron ore and wood pulp According 10
reports which have come from Washing
ton the demand for tariff revision Is be-
coming 50 almost Irresistible In Mas
sachusetts that even Senator Lodge has
nerved himself TO hazard the danger
that II this subject should be consider I'd
the idea might get so rampant as to dis
turb soma OF those high schedules in
which the manufacturers OF Massachu-
setts take so much delight.
For though the demand for tariff re-
vision Is no less insstent In that sec
! ton that It has been represented to be
I II IS quite clear to every one here that
the kind which the manufacturing East
wants, aud the kind which the produe-
ing West desires, differ most radically.
The prospect has become so alarm
ing 70 the stand-patters that they ar.
beginning 20 raise the cry tha. the agl-
taiion for revision is a strategsm TO de-
feat the rate bin, sFronds OF tn presi-
dent himself are first TO say as rea-
son for his decision not TO suggest con-
/ sideration of the tariff that he feared
if II were taken up his rate bin would
DE forgotten so the excitement. Now
tine itand-paters some OF whom. AT al
c.'Hts. are not enthusiastic in behalf OF
tao rate biil ave repeating this warning
win much earncstness, and as the de-
nund for revision increases, the country
IS certain 10 hear 4 proclaimed NOR,
loudly than The agitation which is fac
iiiou-iy ergendered TO defeat the presi-
dent
