signed by the President, the bill, it
is expected, will be law by nightfall.
Senator Kean, of New Jersey speak
ing for his State and the prospects of
business resumption that is expected
to follow the passage of the tariff bill,
said that there had been a partial re-
sumption of business already that was
satisfactory.
But we must wait for six weeks
at least before the full effects of the
tariff legislation can fully be appreciat-
ed" said tie senator. About the mid
die of October everybody in New Jer-
sey will be at work. The abundant
crops and the prosperity in the West
following the tariff legislation will
spur the whole country The reports
of the home States are most encourage
ing"
When asked as to the effect of the
corporation tax on the business of the
State and at large Senator Kean said.
THE tax is most unpopular. The in
quisitorial feature that gives the right
to inquire into the secrets of a cor
poration is what is objected to most
seriously. But then what corporations
of Importance are there to be looked
into that DO not transact an interstate
commerce business?
Il am in favor of keeping the statute
on the books for a time and learning
what we can get out of it, and how it
works I am not in favor of condemn
ing 1t entirely in advance. One thing
is sure, we will have it for some years
to come as matter of experiment"
The most notable feature of the Sem
ate's sessions yesterday was the in
PRODUCTION by Senator Aldrich of the

tended to drive the snakes out of bill.
