It is now concoded by mest republicans that the taritf should be fevised, It is naid that the failure of the last tariff commirsion to satisfy the country was due to the fact that it was not composed of moen who could be held responsi- ble to their constituents for what they did or omitted to do, wnd that a com- mission composod of the members of the presont house, who will have the epportunity to vindicate their action, and_ w11 be sibject to personal responsibility for their yosommen- dations in the next congress, will be more likely to wrrive at conclusions satisfactory to the country than would any other bady of men that might o selected, This was the I;Inn suguested by Speaker Ot lisla to a meia- her of the forty-seventh congrees, but he was overruled, and the members of the comwis- sion were gelected outside of cougress, 1t is the genernl opinion that the only antion takon L pasbCit edwtont - upoik- tho tarifl, us o whole, ‘will be to refer the subject to a com misslon, such as Becretary MeCulloeh recommends, who will bo instracted to report to the next house by bill or otherwise BPEAKER OARLISLE'S VIEWS, Spoaker Carlisle ratd to yight it was not probable thera would ha any general tarifi legislation this session. ‘Thereis not time, ho wuid, and, owing to the fact that & new admiin. istration is about to come in, demnocrats and ublicans alike nre disineliood t - attampt thing like a genoral re of tho tanifl now.
