THE PRESIDENT AND SPEAKER CARLISLE IN CONSUL~ TATION—SECRETARY FAIRCHILD COMING TO THE CONFAB—CHAIRMAN MILLS CONFERRED WITH. Itis now altogether probable that the tariff re- formers wit! be able to meet the revenue question on the assembling of Congress with more than & fair chance of success. There will be a measure Drought forth as soon as Congress convenes which will likely have the endorsement of the Admints- tration. The. President, the Secretary of the ‘Treasury, and Speaker Carlisle have been con- sidering the matter since Congress adjourned, and it 13 not improbable that the present visit of Mr. Carlisle to the President at Oak View will result in the culmination of their plan. It ts posstble that the Speaker's visit to Washington at thistime was expressly for the purpose of consulting with the President upon this subject. It 1s expected at the ‘Treasury Department that Secretary Fairchild, Who 18 now on his vacation, will soon return to Washington. It 18 probable’ that he comes to meet the President and Mr. Carlisle. ‘The resuit of the Allentown convention 1s quite satisfactory to the tariff reformers, since 1t shows {that the tnfluence of the Administration ts stro even in Pennsylvania, They propose e Vantage of the situation and presenta plan for the reduction of the revenues that Mr. Randall will find it hard to reject consistently after en- dorsing the Allentown platform. ‘The plan being prepared will conform strictly with the tariff reso ution there adopted, as it ts construed by the President. Is will abolish the tobacco tax, but Jeave the whisky tax where 1t 1s, and will make a large reduction in the customs duties on necessa- ries of life, in accordance with the President's ut terances On the subject. ‘The tnternalrevenue feature 1s admitted as a compromise, and will be tolerated only in connection with & very Positive reduction of customs, There will be no Acknowledgment of protection, It 1s Ukely that the reduction of the customs will be more sweeping than Mr. Randall would agree to, though it is hoped that the whole party can be brought to work together harmoniously. But the Adininis- tration will occupy a firm and unqualified posi- on, and tt Is belleved that the character of the bill and the influence of the Administration will almost enurely silence opposition within the arty. ‘The forced agreement between Messrs, andall and Scott at Allentown 18 significant in view of the position taken by the President, and may mean that the former will not oppose the con sideration of a bill brought forth from the Admin- istration, according to the plan forshadowed by Mr, Breckinridge, of Arkansas, Ar.
