THE WILSON BILL ALL RIGHT.
Hon. John Overmyei, who not many years ago was chairman of the Indiana Republicin Slate Committee, expresses the belief that the Wilson bill will be a good one for the people. “The clamor that is raised against the Wilson • ill,” he says, "shoulis scare nobody,— The attack on the Walker tariff of 184 G was equally as bitter, and just as noisy. HistoryVsp.-ats itself I was reading the other day an old speech of Reverdy Johnson, who was then a whig, in opposition to the Walker tariff, in which he predict, ed all sorts of dreadful things should i! be enacted The calamity howlers of today could get points by reading the speech Now the sequel is of interest None of the prophecies came true, and after the tariff became a law so satisfactory was it to the people that uo opposition party had anything to say about altering the law till the warcame on with its extraordinary conditions If the senate will pass the Wilson bill with few changes, the fewer the better, and do it in the shortest possible time, there is nodanger to the Demcratio party ”
