WITH THE TARIFF BILL.
MP HILL. TO MAKE FIGHT FOR FREE LEAD
oRE-THE REAL STRUGGLE WILL BE
OVER THE SUGAR SCHEDULE.

Try TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBDNEi
washington. May 25-The metal schedule OF
the Tariff bill was practically disposed OF to-day
in the Senate. twenty or thirty more paragraphs
being voted upon. Tomorrow Will proOaoN Dc
spent in finishing up the stray paragraphs
passed over during the last few days-on one oil
which that raising the rate of duty on lead ores
Mr. Hill nroposes TO begin his fight against the
policy followed by the trainers Of the pending
"free-h,nch" measure. Mr.. Hill contends that
inasmuch as the last House Of Representatives,
which was overwhelmingly Democratic, passed
a bill putting lead ores the free list the
Finance Committee of the Senate cannot now
find any justification for imposing more or less
protective duty Of three-quarters or cent d
pound. Although the present Mckinney rate Is
q cent and a half pound the new duty Is not
unacceptable to the lead and silver mining inter-
est. and as all the far Western Republican
Senators will heartily support the Finance Com
mittees amendment there is no prospect what
ever that Mr.. Hill will succeed in his enort
to vindicate the Democratic ''pop-gun tarlH
legislation of 1913 The only vote he can count
ON surely for free lead ore is that of Mr. Mills.
The real fight over the pending bill Will begin
next week when the sugar schedule IS reached
Mr. Blanchard, of Louisiana. made speech 10
day In anticipation of the coming struggle in
which he practically accepted the terms OF the
Jones schedule and disclosed a suggestive re-
nuenance TO the maintenance Of the bounty sys-
tenn. The scheme of free raw sugar and a bounty
to native producers is favored by all the Popuhst
Senators. as well as by Nj. Hill, so that unless
Mr. German and Mr.. Jones can hold the two
Louisiana Senators in line the proposed truSt
schedule is doomed. Mr.. Aldrich, in reply 70 Mt.
Blanchard, said significantly to-day that Ihe re-
bv an cultivators both Of the cane and the sugar
beet coud only be prevented by the REFUSAL OF the
Louisiana Senators to stand up Tor the inIe e
of the great agricultural industry or their state
70 tbo sngar schedule goes through in its present
form there will probably be no further serious Cd
stacle to the passage Of the Tarln Dill through
the Senate.
