Senator Hill followed with a
brief speech. He said in his
opinion the bill imperiled the
possibility OF permanent demo.
cratic success in any new states
for many years to come, AS be-
tween a populistic income tax on
one hand and revenue tariff on
the other, he chose the latter as
the least of the two evils, As
between pernicious legislation,
fraught with dangerous conse-
quences to the country on one
hand, and simply high tariff
taxation on the other, he prefer
red to endure the latter, at least
for brief period, The issue of
tariff reform had better be post,
poned and preserved in the act
rather than esmusculated or dis,
figured in the manner now pro,
posed. This bill is an empty
and beggardly fullfllment of
democratic pledges. Sink or
swim, live or die, survive or per
ish, | can not and will not SUI
port this bill in its present
shape
