ANOTHER OF INGALLS' LETTERS.
He IVrites n Friend that the Mills Bill Will Be Attacked and Admits that the Tariff Ought to lie Revised. [Kansas City special. J The following letter from Senator John J. Ingalls, written to one of his constituents and vouched for as accurate, is published in the Kansas City Times: “Vice President’s Chamber, / “Washington, Sept. 6,1888. ( Mr Dear Sir: The Mills bill has been referred lothe Senate Committee on Finance, who will probably report an original bill as a substitute in tne course of a few days. My own impression was that it would have been better to have gone to the country with the bill as it passed the House. The debate has been very able and public opinion had crystallized. As it is, we will have to attack the Mills bill and defend our own. I agree with you in thinking the tariff needs revision, hut the time is too short for intelligent action before adjournment. Agricultural products need protection fully as much as those which are manufactured. Very truly yours, John J. Ingalls.”
