The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1884-04-12

Word comes from Washington that the
opposition to the Morrison tariff bill is
steadily growing on the Democratic side of
the House, and that the pOstponement of
the consideration of the bill from time to
time is considered prima facie evidence of
its weakness. -ChicagO Joa,Hdl.
The vote in the House on Monday on
the bill of Converse. of Ohio, to restore the
wool tariff to its old figure, however, shows
that there is "A working majority in the
House in favor, if not of .he Morrison bill
at least of tariff reform. The Converse
bill presented Il square issue between the
tariff reformers and high tariff advocates
and the vote stood l26 in favor of tariff re
form to llS against it, While il is true
that 30 democrats, (mainly from Pennsyl
vania and Ohio voted with the high tariff
advocates, the managers of the Republican
machine were surprised by vote of II re
publicans with the tariff reformers.
The vote again demonstrated, what in
deed has all along been apparent, tina
while the Democrats i'm congress, ~ vel
rs throughout the country, are far from be
ing united on the tariff question, so the re-
publicans are equally at variance among
themselves ON that question, and tina

extent that all fragments of the Democratic

looking over to where | was sitting,
asked me to draw up my chair. But,
instead of being alone, as he supposed,
in the opposite direction from where 1
sat, and across the fireplace from him,
sat two humble looking women. See
ing them there seemed to provoke him,
and he said: "Well, ladies what can l
do for you?" One was an old woman,

WHY WATTERSON is SAD.
The Effect His Congressional Service
Had Upon Him.

"Do YOU notice, asked the gentle
man from Philadelphia, what serious,
melancholy, almost morose look Henry
Watt,rson' face wears? That is the
result of his experience rs n congress
man. His district once consented, al
most unanimously, that he should come
10 congress. Watterson had not fairly
settled himself in Washington before
an old lady down in Tennessee, who
had known him when he was boy,
wrote to him for some seeds.
He asked friendly old member
from New York as to the formula to be
used in getting seeds, and was inform
ed that he must write to the commits
sioner of agriculture, telling what he
wanted and giving the address to which
he wanted seed sent. He did write,
and, either through his own careless
wording of the note or through some
body's mistake at the agricultural de-
partment, Watterson's entire supply
of seeds weht to the old lady in Ten
nessee. There were several sacks full
of them. In II few days letters began
to come by the score from Watterson's
own constituents, each one demanding
seeds. When he wrote to the commits
sioner of agriculture he was informed
that his supply was exhausted. He
again sought the advice of his friend,
the New York member. and explained
the situation. The New York man told
him that there was but one course to
pursue, and that was to borrow seed
from members who represented only
commercial and manufacturing dis
tricts.
From that time on until congress
adjourned sine die, during all business
hours, Watterson devoted himself to
borrowing seeds. That is the reason
so many people never knew that he was
in congress. He had to borrow seed.
That is the reason, also. why Waiter
sons face wears cast of gloom. He
used to smile as well as any other man
before he became a congressman, and
he has smiled since, but not in WASH
ington. The sight of the city always
affects him unpleasantly, and they say
that occasionally when he is just about
to convince some Pennsylvania con-
gresham that nothing but free trade
will now save this wretched country he
stops short in his argument, and, with
far-away look in his eye. he asks the
loan of a sack of seed. y Washington
