DEMOCRATS WILL
FIGHT THE MEASURE
WILL OPPOSE PLAN TO REDUCE
Philippine TARIFF, CUTTING
DINGLEY RATES IS PER CENT.
PRESIDENT DETERMINED.

Washington December 25.-(Special. J.
The democrats In the house are preparing
to make a fight over the administra-
tion's proposed Philippine tariff reduction
bill, cutting the Dingley rates to 25 per
cent. The bill, it is expected will go
in early In January, and while there
is not a little opposition to 1t among
some of the leading republicans of the
senate and house, both the President and
Secretary Taft are very anxious for its
enactment into law and they will prob
ably win.
The democratic members of the ways
and means committee will insist that
the tariff rates be removed entirely and
when they fail to secure the adoption
OF such an amendment In committee the
effort will be made on the floor Of the
house
1t is thought likely that Mccall of Mas
sachusetts and perhaps other republi-
cans will assist the democrats in their
demands for free trade, though the gem
eral sentiment on the republican side
is opposed to even the reduction asked
for by the President.
