has for years been known as almost a free trader in his tariff views for the secretary of the treasury it is a great effort for the republicans in ill congress to keep from expressing publicly the disgust they feel for for this breal break of mckinless McKin leys but in view of the official pie that mckinley SIc Kinley will eoon boon begin to distribute they are making the effort after all that has been said and done about the intention of the republicans of the house ways wave and means committee to 0 vive give n us 6 a new and thoroughly conservative barill flir bill they are proceeding to give us the same old mckinley McKin loy bill having already adopted several entire mckinley the arbitration treaty has been amended and favorably reported to the senate although every silver man on

wound up by slurring ai the whole massachusetts chu etts delegation delegat iou and charging that boston was the place where railroads were wrecked this aroused the ire of mr barrett who said 1 I am a young man I 1 came caine here with no reputation beyond ler ervice vice in the legislature of my state stale but the gentleman from vermont came hero here after a long term of service on the supreme c court urt of his state what was waa the re record cord of that court ask any ally of the shareholders of the central of vermont Verni ont who were robbed by the decrees of that court and then let the

the point senator alien alen took oce occasion aaion to reply to thu the N various arious rumors saying 0 that thac he would aou il vote for the republican barill bill by saying 1 11 I have said that I 1 believe the proposed barill measure of the ic republicans L pub ought to be permitted to pass if it has bis sufficient votes after a reasonable debate this does docs not mean meal however ow ever that I 1 will vote oto for the republican tariff bill on the contrary I 1 shall vote against it I 1 in n other words sena tor allen alien occupies the same position towards the tariff bill that S

their old party when the new tariff bill comes up for action at the extra session of congress they no longer indulge such hopes they kaow that not only will the silver republicans not noi vote for the tariff bill but that they will vote it if their votes can defeat it this has been fully determined upon sines since the reau republicans blicaus resorted to such extraordinary tactics to defeat
