NO OPPOSITION IS ANTICIPATED A Possibility That the Dingier Kill Will Ha Ke-eneeted-Clerelaad Is Still a Frae Tradar. Washington, Nov. 16. In view of tbe reoent statements of tome of the silver senators that they would not op pose tbe Diugley tariff bill, and the opinion of Senator Morgan that the Democrats would probably permit the legislation without obstruction on their part, the prospects for the bill are deemed fair, if tbe Republicans decide ,to past it Upon tbe latter contin gency there it a division of opinion among Republicans. Benator Sher man, of Ohio, takes tbe ground that the passage of tbe Dingley bill at tbe coming session would obviate tbe neces sity for an extra eeislon of congress, as It would furnish all tbe revenue need ed for the present and would be tafil dent for all purposes until oongreti tball meet in regular session and pre pare n revision of the tariff oarefully and deliberately. Another reason advanced in support of tbe proposition for tbe passage of the Dingley bill at tbit time it the lugget tion that tbe custom-house should be locked at toon at possible by an in crease of tbe tariff rates against tbe im pending flood of cheap foreign goods which come in through anticipation of certain inorease in the rates at some future day. Tbe fact it reoalled In tbia connection that just such a flood of cheap goods poured into the oountry prior to tbe McKlnley bill going Into effect, and in anticipation of tbe in creased rates carried by that bill. In the tingle month prior to the taking effect of that bill, tbe importationt jumped to 178,838,183. Tbit wat an inorease over the preceding mouth of (15,000,000 and of the aame month a year previous of nearly 125,000,000. According to tbe arguments advanced the ill-effecta of such a oondition are obvious. It it held that it discounts tbe revenues of tbe incoming adminis tration, because tbe market is surfeited with goods and the importations would be light for tbe first few mouths of tbe tariff law. For tbe tame reason it is claimed barm it worked to tbe Ameri can manufacturer! and laborers, the people whom the new law it to benefit, for it outt off tbe market of the Ameri can product However, it it stated that President Cleveland would veto tbe Dingley bill or any other tariff measure passod at tbe coming session of congress. Hit support of sound- I money principles and his practical co- operation with the R (publican party I In tbe election juBt over can in no way be oonstrued, it ia said, at meaning that the president it in any way in tuiypatby with tbe party on other ques tions. .
