bined. If the average Democrat can
be induced to believe that Senators
have had offers to voteagainstthe tariff
bill, then the average Democratic can be
induced to bell ave that the bill en-
braces tariff reform. If it didn't, why
should the p~rotectionist try to buy
votes against it7 If that can be instilled
into the minds of the low tariff howlerS,
then the Chicago platform will have
been carried out and protection bene
fitted at the same time. But If the
tariff reformer can't be fooled some
how, he will soon realize that an at
tempt has been made and discover the
fraud-then trouble will begin, If that
isn't the object, then why should the
protectionists attempt to buy votes
against a bill they want passed. Inc
protectionists are not opposed to the
Wilson bill. Only the blind will be DE-
ceived by this farce.
