Mr. Mills said that it was but just and that the law should be amended to conform to tho intention of its framers. Still the republican members of tbe ways and means committee fear that when the bill is brought in the demo crats will attempt to attach to it other propositions to amend tho tariff law, and that it may be loaded down so heavily that it cannot pass.
