AND TARIFF.

1t appears from recent Washington
dispatches that the democratic mem.
bers of the United States senate will
not make q very vigorous fight against
the tariff measure favored by the
political opposition. Their efforts will
be conferred mainly upon the adoption
of an income tax provision, q method
OF raising public revenue that is also
favored by many republican senator's,
and it is possible that the proposed
new feature in federal taxation will
become a law.
The position of democratic senators
inthetariff controversy is the subject of
comment by the Anaconda Stand ard,
which reflects the views of its party in
Montana, to this effect:
And. in turn, it appears that the
democrats in the federal senate are
proposing to relate themselves to the
Payne bill very much as the rival con.
testants do in what ia called q friend.
ly lawsuit. These gentlemen-if their
attitude and frame of mind are accu.
rately described in press news from
Washington will put up a sort of
lovetap opposition to whatever is
evolved by the majority, in the way of
revised schedules.
But these minority senators will be
quiet and ''digniied" about it; those
who go in full length for tariff benefits
because they want some-will not be
noisy and spectacular, as were some
OF the house democrats whom Mr..
Cannon captured. The whole thing
will proceed to q senate vote, in
orderly manner and as a matter of
course.
One press dispatch dated at Wash.
ington says that the subject was taken
into consideration at q conference of
the democratic members of the senate.
The remark is that the democrats
would like to see an income.tax law
enacted and that they are in favor of
a reduction in the too-high protection
which many Of the schedules carry.
But thereto Is added the statement that
there is indication that several dem.
ocrats In the senate, in the interest OF
their own localities, will oppose Ger.
tain proposed decreases"
Alas for the Bryan tariff plank in
the Denver platform; how soon it ia
forgot. Prominent democrats in con-
gress are making a sorry mockery OF
it.. What a lot of discipline the great
un.Commoner will need to administer!
OF course, these senators rest assured
that their states will approve what
they do. But ever were some of the
states to rebel, that would make little
odds; state legislatures elect senators
but cannot call these elect, in any
practical way, to account.
Manifestly it is up exclusively to the
republicans. The only remaining fac
of interest is that the republican enc
