WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-The gathering
Of. the members Of congress offered an

ment of the Democratic members on the

fed with the bill, and who will NO doubt
Ev4e4or someschAngss, Nst from, tie way
they talk there Is no doubt if the bill
would aoa0ss to aYota in its present form
it would pass with few dissenting votes
among the Democratic members. II
the Republican members have any
hope thatS there is sufficient dis
satisfaction III The House to defeat the
bill, they have made a mistake, for the
Democratic members seem to be only
anxious to have the bill through as soon
as it can be passed. It seems to be not
SO much the question of rates as the
settlement of the whole question that
the majority ofthe Democratic members
are. most interested in. A member Of
the einocratic ilajerity of the commit
tee voiced the sentiment Of number Of
Democrats when he said the bill would
not need much discussion in the house,
but what was wanted was,to get the
! biilover to the senate at an early a day
as possible.
], He Indicated that even if ID should be
necessary to apply the clotures rule, that
II was very likely that the Democrats
would put the bill through "a
without Very Much Debate. s
: L,Itwould,y of course, be necessary for
the Democrats to have behind them q
good working majority, or at least q
quorum of the house in favor of the bill.
It now looks as If there would not be
much difficulty in securing such 3
quorum if the talk INDUCED in by the
Democrats Is any iind1catti0fKi" 81 the SER

There are plenty OF them who say they
will make an effort to get something for
their own particular district, but failing
in that they will support the bill as q
party measure, ~ The president in his
message points out a method which they.
may adopt when he says that It is not to
be expected that all can be satisfied, bnt
that in the great issue, and upon agreat

for the benefit Of the great principle in

of the Wilson tariff bill will
go a long way towards uniting
the party If z, there have. ~ been
any differences Of opinion Of any re-
markable desree. What is most often
heard in connection with the tariff bill
is the statement that the, members of
the wsys and means committee were
charged with the work of preparing
bill, and that they made a study Of it,
ought to know, what was best for the
party. Those who did not pretend to
know SO much about It, must be content
with what the party has done through
its committee, for it is probable that
the committee has made most thor
ough and careful investigation, and that
it is able to better judge what is wanted
than hose who have mot given the mat
ter any consideration.
