MIR. Bryan Of Nebraska processes him
belf disgusted over the inability Of the house
to agree upon raIical tariff legislation. He
is quoted today as saying, we must do
something, and that right away" and when
asked what they were going to do he shid
that they were going to force the senate TO
take some action on the bill TO take of 10 per
cent on binding twine. Bryan says that a
democratic senator is going TO make a mo.
tion to discharge the finance committee OF
the senate from further consideration Of that
bill and that he believes Mr.. Wash burn aud
several other senators on the republican side
will vote for the motion and pass the bill
When asked today IL he would vote for such
motion. Mr. Washourn said: 81 might.
The bill to put binding twine on the free list
might possibly pass the senate because, as
repu blican senator remarked tonight IL IS
one OF the biggest pieces OF political hum
buggery that was ever put before the people.
The duty on binding twine Is only 10 per
cent, and If 1t were added to the price OF
binding twine 1t would only amount TO mn
on a bushel of grain, according TO the aver
age production per acre In Minnesota ana
other western states. 1t would not benefit
the farmers any whatever but II 1t resulted
in closing up the cordage mills in this coun-
try II would place the farmers at the mercy
Of the foreign trust. The duty on binding
twiLe is the lowest rate now imposed under
the Mckinley act and Mr.. Bryan and some
OF his friends seem TO think that II the demo-
Gratis can abolish the lowest rates of duty i'm
posed on al article they VIII have achieved
great triumph
When asked why the committee on ways
and means in the house, of which he is q
member did not attack the highest rates OF
duty on the sugar trust Bryan replied:
"Well, am in favor OF 1t, but am only one
Of the number
That is the best explanation the democrats
seem to have to offer for their inconsistent
course on the tariff.
