THE SAME OLD STORY.
Democrats Want to Tinker Tariff But
Cannot Agree on Policy.

Washington. Feb. 23-The Demo-
cratic senators are going to be divided
when the tariff bill reaches them next
session, as to the best policy to be
pursued. They are a unit on the gen.
"ral principle that the tariff should be
based on the demands of the govern
mcnt for revenue rather than protec-
ton and apparently if the Democrats
themselves were in the majority and
were framing a bill it would be upon
this basis.
Some of them believe in proceeding
upon this theory even though the Re-
publicans frame the bill. Others, COM
ing from states in which there are
large industries which have heretofore
been the subject of protection. take
the view that, as the bill will. under
any circumstances. be a protective
measure it is in the line OF their duty
to their constituents to exert them
selves to obtain the best protection
possible in the new measure.
Senator Simmons of North Ca'o-
lima is among the Southern Democrats

products should be properly taken care

vote special attention to the lumber
