washington. May Predicting that
failure 10 pass a tariff bill providing
i,- lower duties on imports would pro-
nike q POLITICAL contest for another re-
sion of the tariff. Senator Cummins
NJ Iowa delivered a notable speech in
the senate today. The bill now before
ne" said MT. Cummins, will not be
--ospted by those who have favored a
-svfzfo7 Of the tariff as either a fulfill
rsnt Of the party pledge OF as set
dement, Of the controversy. If this bill
m ANYTHING substantially Ike 1t be-
comes a law. I predict that a campaign
for lower duties will begin the moment
The extraordinary session Of congress
sffou-rs, and will continue with in
--sssirg zeal until the judgment en-
-srs7 in the court of public conscience
fs also entered in the journals Of con-
grsss-
Hoped for Better Things.
a1t gives me no pleasure to utter this
rorhecv. for 1 have earnestly hoped

the dispute for years to cOntA and that
the business of the country would enjoy
The peace and tranquility which IS i'm
r7ss'bTe during the existence of a move
usnt materially TO change duties upon
Imports
T have heard it said over and over
curse I'm public debate. but in private
.-7versation. that there are but few
rs7nIa comparatively who were inter
s,-z5 I'm a reduction of duties. I know
that the voices Of those who are clam
a-rs for an increase of custom house
taxation are more distinctly heard in
The Corridors and committee rooms, but
there win come a time presently when
The can0r of the millions who want re-
lief viii sound like the roar Of thou
sand Niagaras from one ocean to the
other
WIFI Atone for Mistake.
IT. Cummins said he had heard II
said many times that the people who
were insisting on tariff revision did not
know whether duties were too high OF

This skepucism of the judgment OF
