TARIFF WILL PRECEDE.

Other Legislation Will Await the Passage of the Wilson Bill. A Washington dispatch says that it is generally agreed among Democratic Senators that the financial question will be allowed to remain untouched in the Congress until the tai iff bill shall bo disposed of. Senator Voorhees replied to a question concerning his silver bill that no effort whatever would be made to press it until the tariff bill should bo out of the way. Then, he said, the bill would receive attention and he thought it would prove the solution of the problem. He said he felt confident that after Senators and members had an opportunity to examine it they would see its merits and put it through both licu-es before adjourning. Representative Bland has also said recently that he did not expect to try to get up his free coinage bill in the House until after the disposal of the tariff There is jpore or less talk of Secretary Carlisle's suggestion favorable to the issuance of bonds to provide for the Government deficit, but that with other financial questions will probably go over unt’l after the tariff question shall he settled There is a general feeling that primarily, the tariff is of greater importance than any other que tion at present, and the belief is gaining ground that there will be a great effort to providtrfor the deficit in connection with the tariff hill in some way without issuing bonds. It is known that the silver men who approve bonds have practically, appealed their cases from Congress to the country, and they will be prepared to use a vote for bonds against any man who does not favor silver, and to make the war all the fiercer on account of bonds.
