Washington Jan. 2S.-The effect

Canada may. without exaggeration.
be described as shocking. Stand.pat
Republicans have been dazed at this
proposed inroad upon the protective
principle, while the Republican
brethren from the great northwest,
who have been crying for year or
more for downward revision OF the
taiff and a relief from the nigh cost
OF living, are raising their hands in
horror and trying TO explain that
they have not meant tariff reductions
of this character.
The Democrats are about the only
ones who can tell you at present
just how they stand on the proposed

well defined sentiment in the country

to win,
Opponents OF the agreement ac-

next week will be strongly in favor
of the proposed legislation. They

lean is going to grab at any PROPOSE

over foodstur items in the Payne

| pressure is going to be brought TO
bear on congress from this source.
! Administration leaders who at
tempted to size up the situation,
while admitting the impossibility or
making any definite prediction, gave
/ It as their opinion that the agreement
would be accepted by the house, but
! will have 4 rocky road in the senate.
! Several expressed doubt that the pro-

at this session OF congress. II Is
known, however, that the president
takes d hopeful view OF the situation
and that he will use his influence TO
the utmost to get the senate to act
upon the agreement before adjourn
ment on March next.
The northwestern senators, with
one or two possible supporters from
New England, would be able easily
TO prevent action in the remaining
five weeks OF congress. There is
some talk OF the possibility OF the
president calling a special session in
the event of failure to act on the
agreement before.

of gravitation, which acts directly as
