American Politics.
PROPOSED INCREASED DUTY ON WOOL. (Per Press Association) Washington, Dec. 9. The deficit for the year amounts to 25 million dollars. It is reported that a session of Congress will be held in the spring to deal with the tariff. Higher rates are proposed on woollens, tin and timber. Thus Australian and Canadian importers will be especially hit. McKinley, it is believed, will nse federal patronage States as a lever to secure the adoption of the new tariff, and will bribe the western states by duties on wool. In his Message, the President says the day of sound financial methods will not dawn in the United States till the Government abandons the banking business.
