LIKELY TO DIE :,
IN COMMITTEE
Free List Bill Has Little
Chance in Senate.
DEMOCRATS NOT UNITED

Bill Provides.
Washington, May 10.-The Cana
dian reciprocity bill and the SO called
farmers free list bill" are now be
fore the senate committee on finance,
Indications are that the reciprocity
measure will be reported to the senate
without recommendation" and that
the free list bill will languish and
probably die in the committee.
When the reciprocity bill comes up
In the senate for action the first con-
test will arise v e the question
whether the bill shall be passed or
rejected as it came from the house, or
whether it shall be consolidated with
some or all of the provisions of the
free list bill. On that point there is
difference of opinion among Demo.
Gratis in the senate.
Some of them are in favor of a
separate vote on the two measures.
They argue that if Democrats vote for
both measures separately, and either
is defeated, the Republicans would be
held ~blameworthy. If they should be
consolidated with the aid of Demo
Democrats would be held responsible
Others contend that the salve to
the farmers should be applied by the
hand that inflicts the wound; that the
only way to sur the farmers of re-
ceiving the benefit of free farm neces-
sites is to provide for them in the bill
which removes the duty from his
products.
sidetrack Free List Bill.
This faction argues that the Repub.
licans are calculating on passing the
reciprocity bill with a preponderance
of Democratic votes, then sidetrack-
ing the free list bill and letting the
farmer nurse his resentment, in the
hope that he may contemplate a re-
turn to the high protection principle.
The progressive Republicans have
still another plan. They are not at all
inclined to go to the length of assault
upon the protective tariff that the
farmers free list bill contemplates, al.
though twenty-four of their faction in
the house voted for it. The Cummins
idea is to select a list of articles of
common use by the farmer and pro-
vide in the Canadian reciprocity bill
that they shall be admitted free of
duty.
The friends in congress of Canadian
reciprocity expressed themselves as
highly pleased with President Taft's
response to the Grange delegation and
considered that his action had en-
HANGED the prospects in the senate OF
favorable action upon the bill by that
body. They agreed among themselves
that the presidents argument was ir.
REPUTABLE and that it will strengthen
the sentiment throughout the country
In favor of reciprocity.
