THE BILL MAY PASS
Good Prospect for Prompt
Tariff Legislation.
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. .
LITTLE CORINNE'S WILL.

necessities dictate. All religious aud
nationalities will be welcome. The
home will be sufficiently endowed, but
made, to far as possible, self-supporting
by meant of gardent aud tewing that
the women may do. Corinne wants it
to be in all senses a home, aud her idea
ia to save girls who oauuot flud em
ploynieut from workiug iuto tiu. She
wautt to exteud them a helping hand
until they can atruggle to their feet
again.
