THE WILSON BILL.

Around this great partisan humbug
the chief volume of talk will rage for
the most Of the session. The ways and
means committee has been at its wits
end to fix over their tariff bill 80 as to
make it q little different from the Nc
Kinley bill. 1t will be the burleeque OF
all the ages if the democrats restore the
duty on sugar, as has been talked Of in
committee. Surely no one can charge
democracy with lsrgs-sized hsnkering
after British free trade should they re-
store a tax which McKinleYlsm had
taken of one Of the essentials.
