Encensed at the constant repetition
OF the charge that they have contrib
uted almost nothing to the calculation
of the tariff question during the debate,
and that they have been top willing
to sacrifice their party's policy for
bit OF local protection, the democrats
are looking to the filibuster for oppor-
tunity to make good with the country.
They are convinced that the bill is ex-
tremely unpopular, and that il they
could defeat 1T, or even make a long
and determined fight against it, they
would make a great political gain. And
that is what they are planning to do.
Cotton Crowd Factor.
Don't forget" said a member of the
minority, chat there are twenty-sfx
cotton senators, and in almost all their
states cotton is THE biggest thing in
sight. Why, it is even possible that in
such a contest as this the Louisiana
people might stand with their party
against the bill"
Republican leaders were inclined to
minimize the importance of the Bailey

with congress already tired out. and
the weather just now. beastly hot, the
enthusiasm about such contest would
soon ooze out, and that at the end of

Especial Correspondence


Washington, Aug. 2.-Convinced that
republican insurgency against the
Aldrich-P Payne tariff bill has spent its
strength and that the time has arrived
for the democrats to surround the po-
liticals advantage of fighting the meas
-ure, the senate democrats are framing
plans for a determined effort to fill
buster the bill into it's grave
So nearly as has developed thus far,
the filibuster originated with Senator
Bailey of Texas. The senator found an
excuse in the duty on cotton bagging.
He warned the republican conferees,
at the session at which the democrats
were permitted to see the work of the
majority, that he would fight this item.
"Ill stay here till December, If I can
get a half dozen men to help me, be-
fore TIL let that discrimination be writ
ten into the law" he declared. Then
he proceeded to explain.
you have written in here free bind
ing Irvine for the farmers of the north,
but you put a duty on the cotton bag
ging in which the southern farmer
must put up his crop. Cotton is what
makes the national balance of trade
favora BILE. Year by year, that Is the
record; if there were no cotton to sell,
the balance would be against us, in
those few years when there has been
a balance of a few millions against us
it would nave been hundreds OF nil
lions against us for the sale of cotton
abroad. The discrimination against the
southerneer is one that can't be per-
mitted. You must either put binding
Irvine under a like duty, or else take
off the duty on cotton bagging: other
wise there will surely be a fight on
the bill"
The republican conferees listened
with interest. but without conviction
They didn't think Bailey would do it
Bailey Gets Busy.
But before the conference report had
got into print for the general public
it became known that Bailey was feel
ing olft the cotton senators, with a
view to making good his threat. Before
the afternoon was half over, it was
known that he had seen a good share
of the democrats, and that without eX-
ception they had pledged their sup
port to him.
yes, it undoubtedly means a test OF
physical endurance" said a senator
who knew the plan. "They will doubt.

to range cattle Montana stockra;ser
rrcphesies thus: "The settler and :+le
hay stack will change the whole COM
plexion of the Industry within the next
decade and winter feeding will be the
rule rather, than the exception. in fact
there will be little necessity hereafter
to ship cattle in thin condition to east

feed lots and a large proportion of the
output will be one of home breeding"
TIE reaction in late days wherein
the price of "grassers" suffered has
presaged a weakening market this
week should supplies be materially in
creased, and traders have advised eau
tious operations in the country.
Feeding cattle situation fails to at
tract big host of buyers. Also there
is continued light marketing of stuff
suitable to go back to the country.
More energetic buying by eastern
shippers lately has enabled statesmen to
advance mixers and springers to $50
higher than week ago. Sales of
choice COWS have been made at $40

Naturally the public will be looking
for some cheaper beef since the pack
ers are getting a lot OF cheap cattle

grassers and Texans.
