the reverse of that when Morrison Of
fered his "horizontar' bill. Speaker
Reed had selected Nelson Dingiey as
chairman of ways and means--another
very unusual performance. since IL mas
never been customary to have the
speaker and the ways and means cnalr-
man from the same state. Dlngley
brought in another horizontal bill,
only 1t provided for horizontal In
creases instead of reductions. 1t i'm
posed duty on wool 60 per cent as
great as that of the Mckinley law,
and a duty of Is per cent more than
the rates of the Wilson-Gorman tariff
on most manufactures. The similarity
to the Morrison horizontal" bill goes
further. Morrison provided that no
duty imposed hereunder shall be. less
than those of the Morrill, tariff" Ding
ley provided that no duty hereunder
shall be higher than those of the Me-
Kinley law.
The bill passed the house by a vote
of 228 to SO. When the measure went
to the senate, which was now nomin-
ally Republican, but strongly for free
coinage, it had the misfortune to get
its wires crossed with those of the
white metal. The senate committee on
finance amended the tariff bill by sub
shutting a bill for the free coinage of
silver and instructed the venerable
Morrill, to report it. There the matter
ended, except for the few times 1t was
taken UP by the senate to allow free
silver senator to air his views on his
favorite topic.
The Republicans wanted to make the
tariff the paramount issue in 1896. On
that issue William Mckinley was the
logical candidate, and with bill Nc
Kinley and the Mckinley Bill' as the
rallyfng cry, he easily outdistanced
Speaker Reed in the race for the NOM
nation. 1t is said that IL the Repub-
licans had thought the free coinage of
silver would be the issue Reed might
have been the successful candidate,
since Mr.. Mckinley had not been as
orthodox as Reed on the money ques-
ton. The wish of Mr.. Bryan was that
the tariff question should play second
fiddle in the fight, and he made 1t so.
After the campaign was won and Nc
Kinley inaugurated the question arose
as to which should be considered first.
tariff revision or financial legislation.
The doubt was finally resolved In
favor of the tariff, which was to be
considered at special session of con-
gress. It met twelve years to the day
before the present extra session.
When the Dingley bill was intro
duced it was pointed out by the DEM
ocrats that there was no occasion for
any change of the tariff. They offered
figures showing that the Wilson-Gorma
law was at that very moment produc-
Ing a surplus and indicating that II
would continue to do so. But the Re-
publicans had formulated their pro-
gram and they proceeded to carry 1t
out. In introducing the bill Mr.. Ding
ley stated that the duties levied were
a compromise between those of the
pending law and those Of the Mckinley
law. The Democrats controverted this
would average higher than those of
the Mckinley law. AS a matter of
fact the actual operation of the law

Los ANGELES. April s.-IEditor
Herald: 1t is true that womanly
women attract manly men, but ppin-

womanliness. To my mind 1t could not
be womanly to express ones opinion at

is unwomanly to post q letter In the

have known were advocates Of equal
