There were at least hundred different industries that would de- mand an opportunity to be heard and at the rate of three a day, which would bea very large average, it would take five weeks to listen to them and as many weeks more to consider and digest their arguments My, Aldrich said that it would not be pos- sible for the committee to report a bill before next Decomber, and he did not see any use in holding congress together all this time. If the committee proposed to work on the plan proposed it would be better to give up all hope of passing a tariff bill at this session and let the committee sit during the recess, “It may take a_ month and it may take three months,” said Mr. Sherman, “to complete the tariffl bill, but I shall not ' consent to any hasty or 'careless legislation. It took the house committee six months to get up this bill, and a8 wo. havo oqual responsibility 1 think we should have at least one-third of that time to consider the measure. We must go over the bill with quite as much care as the nouse committee has exercised, We should not only know the reasons that have prompted that committee in making changes, but we should learn what effect such changes will have upon the industrial interests of the country. I realize that all this will prolong th ssion, but we had better be right even if we have'to stay here all summer.” There lias been o good deal of canvassing in the senate today on this subject and an attempt will be made tomorrow to reconsider the action taken by the committeo yesterday. Whether it will suceeed or notis - question, The democrats will, of course, do anything they can to create discord in the republican ranks, and this little family squabble offers them a beautiful opportumty. The room of the senate finance is crowded with petitions and pro- tests referring to the tarift bill. They come from every part of the country and ré- Iate to every possible topic and article upon ich dutics are imposed. One pile of pe- titions will be for the increase of the duty on a cortain article, the next pile will contain petitions for its reduction or protests against any change, and the documents are coming in 50 fast and so numerously that no one will ever know what they contain. It would keep the members of the committee busy from 7 in the morning till midnight for seven i the weels to read them.
