HOT TARIFF TALK ON AVENUE.
Discussion Of Pending Bill Causes
Most Excellent Results.


They were standing on the corner Of
Ninth street and Pennsylvania avenue
late yesterday afternoon, a large, fOrid
gentleman. evidently from the South. and
a prosperous-looking youngster, who may
have hailed from any section Of the coun-
try, and both were vehemently discussing
the merits and demerits Of the tariff bill
and what the conferees would probably
do to Il.
IT'S an outrage" said the elderly gen
tleman, "to tax the consuming public OF
this country more than they have ever
been taxed in the past, after promising a
downward revision. and because Of that
promise carrying the election. Why, the
great wealth. the unlimited resources Of
this magnificent country, are. through the
operation Of this bill, simply being worked
by the masses for the benefit Of prOtec-
tons favorites. Why. why"
NOW, look here. Uncle" said the
younger man; "suppOsing this should all
be true, and supposing that protection
never had been OF any benefit TO the cOun-
try at large, there is some credit due 20
those who have the ability 10 get these
benefits, even though they secure them in
