Washangtou, Aug. 1.-THE amended
free list hill passed by the senate yes
terday removes the tariff from q large
category OF agricultural implements
and farm operating materials. from
building cement and lime, from boots
and shoes, and from meat flour. and
cereals when imported from Canada.
The measure was passed by q vote
Of 4S to 80. the result being achieved
by the same combination Of progressive
republicans and democrats which put
thru the LaFolletee wool bill last week.
OF the senator's voting for the bill thir-
ty-four were democrats, twelve pro-
Rressive republicans. and two regular
republicans. The opposition consisted
Of twenty-nine regular republicans and
one progressive, Senator Bourne Of
oregon.
Few Changes From House Bill.
Few changes were made in the meas
ure. as It was passed by the house
where it originally was presented as an
offset to the farmer for any fancied
injury done his interests by the Cana
dian reciprocity measure. The princi-
pal amendment was the limitation Of
free importation Of meat and flour from
such countries as admit free American
cotton, corn, wheat, oats, horses, cattle,
and hogs.
This arrangement practically amounts
to an elimination Of meat and flour
from the free list and retention Of
the present duties on those foods. for at
present the United States has no reci-
procity Of this nature with any nation.
II the Canadians approve the recipro-
city compact the condition then will
apply to their country, and their meats,
flour, and cereals will be admitted into
this country duty free.
The democratic leaders In the house
cay they either will accept or COM
promise the senate bill and send 1t to
the president It may be presented to
him ahead Of the wool bill. The pre-
vailing opinion. however, is that he w!ll
veto the free list as we'll ~ the wool
hill.
