The Wilson Bill.
AS t. the Wilson tariff bill. the gen.
eral opinion is that it will pull through
in some shape or other. Representa-
and Means Committee. who has just
returned from his home in Missouri,
says he found no one among his con-
stituents dissatisfied with the tariff
bill. Representative Hayes. of Iowa,
says the bill will become law in time,
and that all differences about it will be
adjusted within the party. 80
that there will be no fatal
break over it. Representative Sto-
vens, of Massachusetts,. who is .
member Of the Ways and Means Com
mittee, and an extensive wooden manu-
facturer, says the bill will pass the
House unchanged, and that whatever
changes are made before the measure
becomes law will be made In the Sem
ate. Representative Cousins of Iowa,
on the other hand, viewing the situa-
ton from a Republican stand point. says
that il all the Democratic members OF
the House that he has heard express
themselves against the bill actually
vote as they talk now, the bill will ce-
tainly be beaten in the House. to say
nothing Of the Senate. where it's
chances are at least doubtful. How
ever, he says. j. is pretty hard to get q
Democrat to kick out of the party
traces. SO you cannot just figure on re-
suits when Democratic p9lting becomes
an essential element in the calculation.
