TARIFF TO BE THE ISSUE. Issue to be Pushed to the Frontr-An uual Statistical Report of Inter state Commerce ommission. Special cor. Herald and news. Washington, Nov. 28.-Democratic members of Congress who have come to Washington since the election are considering the policy that should be pursued by their party during the coming session of Congress, and the general opinion seems to be that the tariff issue should be pushed to the front and kept there regardless of all efforts the Republicans may make to give prominence to other matters. The results of the elections have shown that. the Republicans are bad ly divided on the tariff issue and thatI in some parts of the country the rank and file of that party are strongly for revision. In fact, some of the Republican candidates for Con gress in New Englana could not have been elected if they had not declared 1 for revision, while in Minnesota, Con gressman McCleary, one of the most extreme protectionists, was defeated I on the tariff issue and the normal Re- i publican majority in Iowa was great ly reduced simply because the Re publican revisionists were dissatisfi- 1 ed with the compromise made by Gov ernor Cummins with the stand pat wing of the party. The Democrats, on the other hand, 9 however they may differ on other f subjects, can all unite on the tariff f question and by united action can 1 compel the Republicans to debate it e with the inevitable result of disclos- e ing and augmenting the discord in t that party. The stand pat Republi- a cans do not want a tariff debate and I will do all in their power to prevent I it. They will put forward other mat- it ters and will endeavor to becloud e the real issue between the parties. In a this they will have the assistance of f Prest. Roosevelt, as they have had in f the past, and will seek to entrap the s democrats into supporting his anti- o Democratic policies of centralization which, if developed to the extent out- t lined in some of his speeches, would t wipe out State-lines and reduce Con- ii gress and the courts to the mere func- s tion of registering Presidential de- 8 ees. The President will doubtless en deavor to secure the passage of more 0 legislation purporting on its face to 1 provide additional remdies for cor- 9 porate abuses, but, really designed I Airthier his scheme of increasing the ' importance of his own ofiee. The necessity for further legislation of I this character may bo questioned i when the administration proceedings a against the Standard Oil Company a are not being conducted under any new fangled Rooseveltian trust-bust ing law but inider the Sherman law which has beeni on the statute hooks for sixeen years, and when the courts v arc almost weekly passing sen'tence on railroads anid shiippim. corporations for violat i ons of' thle lk1is ant Ii-re bate laiw, :i law thadt lhe Roosevelt ad mflinistrast ion aillo)wed to remain a dhead " lette fori oi e ti~i~hant two yeaLrs and. nly be:an toenfo'rce af'teri ant-d jimblicU . a Iiin to its (effect iveness e ami l1 the ila :ilure of th' P'residlent. to cinkn*c it. 1 )emnocrmatie Congress meni enn well alford to insist t hat un i til it is demuonist rated t hat legislat ion giving thle Presidlent greater power over the business of the counitry is actually needed, Congr'ess shall de vote its attention to the revision of the Dingley' tariff schedules, many of which arec merely shields behinid which t he I rusts are enabled to mono pol ize American markets. The annual statistical report of' the Int erst ate Comnmeirce Commission for the enrrent fiscal year will show a re miarakble increase in the aimonnt patid by the railways of the United States in wvages of employees. It is estimuat 0(1 that incieases already made with in thme post few weeks will aggregate $85,000,000, and( mtore are expected in the neai' futurie. This is thme more re markable as a great mamjority of the annual rep)orts for the last y'ear thus far received by the Commission showv decreases in the average freight charges. There have been la rgo in creases in gr'oss earnings, o'wing to1 I increased tiraffie, but wages and ('ther expenses have increased so greatly I that inot. earnings have not increased in anything like the same proper tion as gross. In fact, in sonic in stances, especially in the South, oper %ating expenses have gone up so fast as to.absorb more than the increase n h gross earnings and actually re duce the net earnings below last year. Such a general increase in ~ ages affects not only the immediate wage earners, but the.entire counitry. t yart inreaedconisumnptioni of heatdottn, eol, airyproducts, 1' a 'overy article produced and eon a mied in the United Stu4tea LOOKING IN WATSON'S WORE Ketcalf's Department on Wittekini Case-Solicitor's Report. Washington, Nov. 23.-An opiniot )f sweeping importance to all part )f the country, but particularly t< hie South is to be rendered shortl; )y Solicitor Earle, of the departmen )f commerce and labor. On the judg ment of the department, based 01 Solicitor Earle's opinion, probabl) ivill depend the continuance o: mmigration to southern ports fron >oints in Europe. Tho question to be. decided wa: eaised by the recent landing of r hlipload of immigrants at Charles on, S. C. Commissioner of Immi -ration F. P. Sargent and a corps of nspectors were present when th ;hip arrived early this month. The mnmigrants, were for the most part anded without question and they inve scattered through various parts if the South. Some of them were letained for various reasons-chiefly >hysical or mental-and a few of hem were ordered deported. They vere treated, as a whole, precisely s any shipload of immigrants would e handled by the immigration of cers at a northern port. Since they were landed, however, t has been developed that the immi rants were induced to take passage rom their homes to Southern port by n agent of the state of South Caro. na. Other Southern states, interest d in securing immigration have rais d the question whether the action of lie agent of South Carolina was not violation of the spirit, if not of the tter, of the national immigration tws. An inquiry now is being made Ito the matter by the department of .mmerce and labor and the facts, s they are obtained, are being re )rred to Solicitor Earle. After care ll consideration of them, lie will pre mt to Secretary Metcalf an opinion r the legality of such immigration. If, as now seems likely, the solicl ir' opinion should support the no on of the Southl Carolina authorities I thus indcing iminigration to.that late, it is quite probable that other outhern states will send agents to 4urope for the purpose of soliciting ther immigi-ation. It has been lown that the aent of South Car lina. did not offer the immigrants ositions in his state, but only in a eceral way demonstrated to them hint they would have no difficulty Sobtainlling employment. This action sVeeis to be well within he immiigration law, as, under that 1w, states have autliority to present > prospective immigrants the advant ,es of locating within their confines. I is re-arded as reasonably certain lal, if 4ol4icitor Earle's opinion up 0(Ids the ietion of the agn of South arolina, much of he immigraition, -hIich heret ofore has been coming to ort hern ports, will he divertLed to the ''uth!erni : ttes.

In the'1, however, and in agricultural purduits other than cotton growing, It is thought they are better than negro labor. Should a material part of the Im migration which now comes to the North be diverted to the South, the situation in the congested centers of population in the East will be reliev ed and the South will get just the sort of labor which it so sorely needs to develop its tremendous resources.
