VOTES FOR THE WILSON BILL.
They Have Been Made by Attaching
the Income Tax TO It

the Income Tax to 1t.
Washington, Jan. 30-A western rep
resentative of prominence and strength,
told me to-day that he could count Is
votes for the tariff bill which it never
would have got, if the income tax bill
had not been made part of it. Those
votes, he said, would come from republic
cans and populists. While he declined to
give names, he maintained that those
members do not want to vote for the
tariff bill. but they dare not vote against
the income tax. They could not justify
themselves before their constituents.
He said that some of them had actually
begged that the income tax should be
voted on as a separate measure, so as to
enable them TO vote against the tariff and
for the tax. A republican had said TO him,
after the democratic caucus had decided
to add the income tax to the tariff bill.
You have put US into the DEVILS own
hole by this action
GREAT TRIBUTE.
Old members who have battled for and
against number of tariff bills in the
past say that it will be great tribute to
the perfection of the Wilson blu if it
passes without thirty or forty amend
ments, To pass thus would put it away
ahead of former tariff bills.
HATCH's ANTI-oPTIoN BILL.
A delegation from board of trade has
called on Gen. Hatch, of Missouri, chair
man of the committee on agriculture, for
the purpose of examining his anti-option
bill. They said they found no fault with
1T. The bill Gen Hatch introduced into
the last congress was opposed by the
boards of trade all over the country
Knowing its Objectionable points, he has
tried TO modify them, and he has sue
ceeded so well that he is confident that
the bill to be introduced this session will
60 through and become a law.
FINE PRESIDING OFFICER.
During the long debate on the tariff bill,
the House has been in committee of the
whole, and has been presided over by
Hon. James ID. Richardson. of Tennessee.
MIR. Richardson's occupancy of the chair
has been marked by signal ability. His
position, at times, has been very trying,
and has tested in the severest manner his
mental equipoise, his intellectual re-
sources, his tact, his patience and his par
liamentary ability. He stood the test
admirably, and has won much praise from
his fellow-memb Speaker Crisp, who
is, of course, very high authority in
matter of this sort, speaks in terms Of
strongest praise of Mr.. Richardson's ef-
ticiency during the time he has occupied
the chair.
