A DISHONESTY MEASURE.
Senator Washburn Says That of
tho Bland Bill.

Senator W. D. Washburn arrived
home yesterday. He was asked to ex-
press his opinion OH the Bland bill. and
did SO in strong terms. He denounced
the measure as dishonest one, and
said it would never pass the senate. 1t
would be killed as soon as 1t reached
there. In referring to the Wilson bill,
he said:
although the sub-finance committee
practically made no recommendation
OIL the bill when they returned it to the
finance committee, / do not think the
measure will be allowed to come before
the senate without many material
changes from the form in which it came
from the house. | think the bill will he
a good deal of compromise before it is
ready for presentation. There will
probably be a small tariff recommended
on both iron and sugar. The duty of
one cent per pound which will be rec
commended for the latter article will not
help out the sugar industries of the
country, however. 1t is practically as
good as no duty at all. There are
strong probabilities. too, that even after
all the talk about free wool a small tax
will be imposed upon that commodity.
However, i'll spite of all the modiiica-
tions, the Wilson bill might as we'll pass
in the form i'll which the house left 1t.
The effect on the country will be prac-
ticaily the same. 1t is very difficult
matter to say just when the senate will
take action on the bill"
