Full Text

Many republicans in both branches of Congress are not entirely satisfied with portions of the amended Dingley tariff bill, last week reported to the Senate, but they are not disposed to publicly criticise the bill because they feel confident that changes which will be made will remove most, if not all, of its objectionable features.
The bill is to be taken up by the Senate next Tuesday, and pushed through that body as rapidly as possible. Many changes are likely to be made before it passes the Senate, and still more before it gets out of the conference committee. No fears are felt that the bill will not be as good a measure as can possibly get through the Senate in the absence of a straight republican majority.
