WILL PASS PAYNE BILL
CANNON'S PREDICTION.
Act;on To Be Prompt, EOen At
Democratic Votes Are Needed.
from The Tribune Bureau.I

Tribune 6ureeo-l
Washington April 8.-'The Republican party
VIII see that the tariff rule Is passed oy inc
Hons. and that the Payne tariff bill becomes
law before the American people lose great
sum Of money because OF the uncertainty which
ALWAYS accompanies a revision of the tariff and
4eca,se of The certain loss which inevitably fol-
lows long delay. This will be done by the Re-
nublican party, even II It requires Democratic
votes"
Speaker Cannon made the foregoing statement
TODAY and the House leaders believe that 1t
sums UP the situation. Representative Dwight
has completed his poll, and is confident that the
organization can muster sufficient number OF
votes on Monday TO pass the rule which mas
already been outlined in The Tribune. There
is no doubt that at least twenty Democratic
votes Will be forthcoming in case they are nee
essary The entire Louisiana delegation Is
counted on to vote for the rule, for the reason
that Louisiana has been amply protected in the
bill and because, Mr.. Ransdell. OF that state
remarked 'the opinion is rapidly changing
from revenue to protection There are many
other Democrats who feel that they must vote
for the Payne bill II they wish TO reflect the
desires OF their constituents. The House leaders
are more confident to-day than ever that the
rule will be adopted without difficulty, and that
next Saturday will see the Payne bill passed.
A number of wild runors were heard in the
Cap!tol to-day One was that the advocates OF
higher duty on lumber would vote against the
rule which provides for separate vote on that
schedule. Representative Langley, OF Kentucky,
was one Of those mentioned as likely 10 take
this course. 1t was pointed out TO Mr.. Langley
ty a House leader that there would have been
no vote on the lumber schedule had the high
protectionists not brought It about The upshot Of
the conversation was that Mr.. Langley promised
that he would abide by the decision of the Rules
Committee, and If lumber was placed on the
free list he would urge his Senators TO stand
out for a duty OF 81 a thousand. There Is little
doubt that when the lumber schedule Is voted
on the advocates OF free lumber will have a
, large majority
Another r1lmor circulated to-day was tnat tue
coal schedule was so displeasing TO those Rep
reseutatves who have coal in their districts thet
they would vote against the rule. 1t was learned
later that although the coal mon are much dis
APPOINTED with the schedule they will line up
with the regular Republicans on Monday.
In summing up the situation tonight one OF
the House leaders said: IF the rule is brought
in Monday II will be passed, and 1t VIII be
brought in The Speaker Is not the sort OF
man 10 bring IN q rule when there is any chance
that It may be defeated

NIXON FOR PROTECTION
Continued from H1ss paSA

cheap money of Europe is even more Of .
menace
."rhe three pillars of a nations greatness are
IT'S agriculture commerce and manufacturing.
II we develop one at the expense Of the other
two the national structure becomes lopsided,
and periods of depression must occur
Before the Civil War import duties were low
and while gold freely exported we had the
great income of the earnings Of our merchant
shipping which enabled us TO balance our for
eign commerce. Since the disappearance OF our
flag in the oversee trade we have depended upon
q high tariff alone so IL the result Of lowering
duties Is to curtail production at home and
bring in more of foreign products we have moth
ing upon which TO rely for balancing foreign
trade.
I'VE now pay $500 900, 900 into foreign Golfers
In the various expenditures connected with our
ocean trade This can be regarded only as an
import Of this amount, and we must dig and
delvs and labor to produce exports to bal
ance it.
THAT little knowledge is dangerous Is
shown in the vote for increased postal conpen-
sation which was defeated in the closing days Of
the last Congress.
"If we are going 70 let down the bars without
providing for a merchant marine we may soon
face ,ituation where not only do foreigners do
our carrying but also do much Of our manu-
featuring. and soon as they control enough
of such production they raise the price Of
imports, and we shall be at their mercy.
WANTS TEN YEARS BETWEEN CHANGES
while think that Congress has all the nee
essary brains TO adjust our tartff. the schedules
should only be changed every ten years, when
we have the valuable data furnished by the
census 10 use as basis for such change A
ten years period Of operation should give suff-
cient information for searching inquiry directed
by expert minds upon which 20 predicate
changes.
Probably special committee OF Congress on
the tariff would be the best solution. its MEM
bers to be elected by the Representatives OF the
two parties. 1t should be practically a per-
manent body. to bring in every ten years sug-
gsstions for tariff changes based upon census
information collected under its direction. Fail
ing this. there should be 8 general agreement
that no tariff schedule should be changed more
than 10 per cent in any one Congress.
The reason We are prosperous despite waste
fulness OF natural resources is because we have
free and uninterrupted interchange Of commodi-
ties throughout the great area Of the United
States between sections OF different needs and
different products, and that carry ton OF
freight a mile on our railroads far cheaper than
Is done in any other country.
80 think any extension OF this homo mar
ket is TO be welcomed. We have 20 the north
and south OF US empires IN the making. where
the very needs we have met and satisfied in the
last fifty years developing. AS tho West

products, II certainly seems that the addition 70
