WASHINGTON, ID. C., Feb 26, 1894
Democratic cuckoo and anti-cuckoo SEN
stors have temporarily buried the hatche'
and are nov engaged in far more imp 1
tan. fght, the tariff b,iIg the BATH
ground. There are ten democratic seus
tors who demand more home protection
than the sub committee is willing to Civ,
them. caucus of democratic senators
vas held this morning, but inasmuch A. ],
Na- undrr>t, OF beforehand that no acliui
binding upon the senators was to be taken,
II has resulted in accomplishing nothing,
and the fight j. still on.
The sub committee tried TO reach a com
promise by taking coal. iron ore and sug-
ar from the free list and putting
small duty upon each of them, but that
appears not to have pleased either the free
traders or the home protectionists. The
former are kicking because these articles
were taken from the free list and the lat
ter because the duty placed upon them is
too low.
1t i impossible TO tell what effect this
fight will have upon the fate OF the bill.
may be that home protectionists are, a.
the free-traders say they are, making
grand bluff in order to secure the highest
possible duties for the articles they favor.
and that they will in the end fall Into line
and support :hc bill.
The retention of the income tax ha
made il certain that the three p puli,t-
will support the bill and Senator Stewart.
