Ex-Speaker Carlisle presented the
minority report of the Ways and
Means committee to the House. It
takes the McKinley bill in detail and
shows the injustice of that measure,
and goes into the strongest kind oil
argument in favor of a genuine tariff

Representative Wilson, who ranks
high among the democratic leaders of
the House, says the republicans will
certainly pass a Federal election law
during the present session. If they
do, it will have to be done by order
of king caucus, because there are
enough republicans in the House who
are opposed to any such law to defeat
it unless they are compelled by order
of the party caucus to swallow their
opinions and vote with the party.
The republicans of both Senate and
House have held caucuses within the
hist few days trying to get together on
the silver question. Secretary Win
dom has brought all of his powers of
persuasion into action in trying to have
the caucus to adopt his silver bill, now
before a House comraitte, but so far
nothing is agreed upon. Between the
anti-silver republicans and the free
coinage republicans there is a wide
chasm which will have to be bridged in
some way before anything like unity
can exist in the party on this subiect.
in tne meantime the most of the dem
ocrats hold themselves in readiness to
vote for free coinage, pure and simple,
if they can get an opportunity.
