NO INCREASED DUTY.
THE CONVERSE wool siLL DEFEATED
a Tou Vote iu the House that Throws
some Light on the chances OF the
Morrison Hill

Tho first official showing of hand on the
tariff question was made on Monday In the
House and the free traders scored q small
victory. Converse forced the lighting on
his bill to raise the duty on wool for the
purpose OF getting record made. Morri
son sought to gain time by announcing
that ho would call up his bill ON the
fifteenth. Hurd made very powerful free
trade speech aud was answered by Con
verse, who declared that free trade in
America meant protection for British
interests. He was repeatedly applauded
by the Republicans. The roll cali showed
l26 votes against restoring duty, to lls
| for it.
From an analysis of the above vote it
will be seen that Kansas, the state which
! the Morrison free traders say Is converted
| to free trade, cast solid vote in favor OF
| the bill. Not single vote is recorded
| against IL in the states of Kansas, Nc.
| braska, New Hampshire, New Jersey
| Pouusy ylvania, Oregon, Rhode Island, Ner.
mont, and West Virginia. In MaSsaehu :
sctts seven votes were cast against the
| bill, and only Que in its favor. This be.
cause tho wooden manufacturers of New
England. who arc mostly located in Mas.
sachusetts, want FREQ wool and protection
for wooden goods. Tho Connecticut dele.
CATION, all protcctiOnists, voted against
the bill, because not IN favor of any tariff
LEGISLATION This il also true of tho Nlr
giuia votes cast against it. or the Ohio
delegation every man present, except
Frank Hurd, voted for the bill. Those
not recorded are Follett, Seney, Geddes
and Faran, all Of these, however,
were paired n favor of the bill. The
vote shows unmistlkably that If the
Republicans are practically solid against
the Morrison tariff bill it cannot be pass
ed. The thirty.Six Democratic votes
cast in favor Of the bill will all bs cast
against the Morrison bill, TO which should
be added seven votes in addition in New
York aad two in Connecticut, those in
Virginia aud four more in Pennsylvania
This shows = Democratic opposition Of
over fifty. II is now certain that Mr..
Morrison will call 1t up all the same, The
