THE TARIFF CONFERENCE.

Senate and House Committee* Meet and Adjourn. Monday was the first day of the conference of the Democratic conferees of the two Houses on the tariff bill. The House members pointed out the radical change in the policy involved in the Senate’s departure from the free raw material platform and from the ad valorem system, and asserted that the Senate bill was not all that the country demanded in the way es tariff reform. The Senate representatives replied in effect that it might be true and might be admitted by individual members to have proved the most radical bill that could be passed in the Senate, and announced a determination to stand for the bill practically as it passed the Senate. Adjournment followed without action.
