VOL. LXVII. WILL PASS TARIFF BILL. ing Democrats Too Few in Num- bers to Obstruact, WASHINGTON, Jan. in sight. It has been a hard fight and ry is in sight, the debate on the income tax ment—the Wilson the income tax. There has never been a moment of doubt in the minds Chairman Wilson and the Democrats who have been associated with him in leading this fight as to final success, and the number of doubters has been gradually lessening since the Demo- cratic caucus of last week endorsed the proposition to make the income tax an amendment to the Wilson bill. There are some hard fighters among the Democrats who have refused to be bound by the action of the caucus and the opening of the debate on the in- come tax amendment today shows a bitter state of feeling, which will prob- ably result in lessening the majority by which the Wilson bill will be pass- ed by about twenty votes, but the ob- ject long sought for will be obtaineaq; it will be passed. The few amendments adopted, aside from those approved by the Ways and Means committee, bears out the pre- diction I made when the bill was first reported. Only two amendments— that changing the date which the free wool clause shall take effect upon, (was afterwards changed for a cemmit- tee amendment naming Aug. 2, 18%) and that abolishing the sugar bounty and putting refined sugar on the free list—of importance which were oppos- ed by the committee were adopted by the House, while the committee suc- ceeded in defeating proposed amend- ments strongly backed to change the following clauses of the bill; coal, iron ore, steel rails, tin plate, agricultural produets, cotton, salt, lumber, besides a number of lesser importance. Com- plete printed copies of the amended bill were on the desks of members day for the first time. “It's an ill wind” ete. While the friends of the Wilson tariff bill regret that the condition of Senator McPher- to- membership of the sub-committee of the Senate Finance committee, which will have charge of the tariff bill as soon as it passes the House and is sent over to the Senate, they rejafce that so staunch a tariff reformer 8s Senator Mills, of Texas, will take his place on the sub-committee. Theexperience of Senator Mills in preparing and getting the Mill's bill through the House sev- eral years ago made him a tariff’ ex- pert and will make him a valuable ad- dition to the committee, The Democratic Senators made it plain to their Republican colleagues that they intend to pass the bill for the repeal of the election laws, although disposed to al- low the opponents of the bill all the time they reasonably desire to talk against it, by promptly defeating the motion of Senator Chandler, who has been allowed to pose as the leader of the Republicans in the debate, to postpone further consideration of the bill to next December, Representative Bailey's resolution expressing the belief that the secretary of the Treasury has no legal authority to use the proceeds of bonds sold under the resumption act for any other pur- pose than that stated in the act has ben favorably reported to the House from the Judiciary committee and Mr. Bailey will endeavor to get a vote on it after the tarift has been disposed of. Secretary Carlisle does not agree with Mr. Bailey. On the contrary he con- tends that he can legally use every dollar that is in or may come into the Treasury that is “otherwise unappro- priated”’ to meet the obligations of the government. Thebonds will be issued this week, unless the attempt that is being made today by lawyers in the employ of the Knights of labor to se cure an injunction from the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia to prevent the sale of bonds shall suc- ceed, and that nobody expects. It is understood from a trustworthy source that President Cleveland has tendered the position of public printer to Mr. F. A. Crandall, of Buffalo, N. Y., and that Mr, Crandall has accepted it.

The New Yorkers have led the opposition, at one time agreeing in caucus to filibuster if necessary to defeat the measure. But when the income tax debate opened there was no further effort to delay or to filibuster. Several leading New York members stated that they recog- nized that further opposition would be futile, ——— Tenant House Barned. A tenant house on the farm of M.
