TARIFF MANAGERS PLIGHT
FINAL PASSAGE OF THEIR BILL IN
GREAT PERIL.
THE TROUBLE COMES FROM THE NEW wooLLEH
GOODS SCHEDULE. WHICH PUTS THEM BE-
TWEEN TWO FIRES PROTESTS FROM

NORTH AND SOUTH.


TWEEN TWO FIREs-PROTEsTs FROM
NORTH AND SOUTH
Washington, June f5-The pending Tariff bill
has passed a number OF critical periods, but, If
the judgment Of a Democrat high In the coun-
ellis Of his party can be relied upon, It has now
reached a point where It's final passage Is jeopar-
died more than at any time In the past. The
trouble grows out of the new substitute in the
wool schedule. and because the majority cannot
get together this question. Mr. Harris has
not urged. with his usual emphasis. the pro-
longation of the daily sessions.
In the Jones amendment the dividing line in
women's and childrens dress goods yarn. etc.
IS placed a 81 pound. and all goods valued at
that price made dutiable AT 30 per cent. The
woollen manufacturers. headed by such men as
Walter Stanton. a we-known Democrat. have
told the Finance Committee. and backed up their
assertions by exhibiting their books. that 1t
would be impossible for them to run their mills
under such a rate After thoroughly discussing
the question. the subcommittee decided to make
a new schedule. which fixed the 80 per cent duty
on all goods valued at more than so cents
pound. This schedule. It said. would admit
the goods consumed BY the poorer classes at 40
per cent duty.
This action OF the committee has aroused a
storm OF opposition from Senator'S especially
from the South and It is said that number suf-
ficent to mperil the success OF the bin have In
formed the committee that II this schedule IS
adopted they will vote against the bill on its
final passage. Two Of the most vehement OBJ
jcctors, however to-day told the committee that
they would support the bill II the change were
made. but would do II under protest
The committee appears 10 be between two fires.
The manufacturers who represent some Of the
best elements Of the Democratic party in New
England and New-YOrk. say that the Jones
amendment means ruin 10 them and the utter de-
structon Of their property and II Is said that
such Senators as Smith and Murphy. who voice
the views OF these men on the floor. have told
the committee that they would not support the
bill unless the Stanton Bramhall-O Owens propo-
sitiOn was agreed To.
\ prominent Democrat said this morning TO
one OF the managers Of the bill that II the Jones
amendment is insisted upon by the committee as
the only one to be incorporated in the bill. he
would offer an amendment reducing the dividing
line 10 so per cent on goods valued at over
so cents pound. and that he knew he could
get sufficient votes added to those OF the Repub-
leans to carry It.
The situation appears 10 be discouraging 10 the
managers and meanwhile every possible effort
is being eXerted 10 bring those Senators who
are ightng the last concession TO terms.
