conventional call, in which there was
no element Of kinship or cordiality.
Helen was glad when Winirfed
woke up and began to cry. She at

the awkwardness Of the situation.
Mrs Curtis held and played with her

as badly split up 1t Is doubtful if the
Democrats could have retained even

Wilson and President In Accord.
Wilson was in thorough sympathy
with the president with respect to the
money question. the two were agreed
on the tariff, and both of them were
opposed to the income tax, although
they were willing to submit their
Judgment to the will of the majority
OF the Democrats on that subject
The Wilson bill as reported to the
house did not pretend to embody the
full measure of reform to which chair
man Wilson was committed 1t was
however, a radical revision downward.
The main idea Of the bill was free
raw materials, with a large reduction
Of the duties on manufactured goods
Wool, coal. iron ore. lumber, fish. cot
ton ties and binding Irvine were all
transferred to the free list; while hides
and raw sugar were retained upon the
nondutiable schedule Few if any.
duties on manufactured products were
left untouched. practically all Of them
were materially reduced. The bill was
passed on February 1, 1894, without
having been amended in any material
way affecting its low tariff charac-
ter.
MutfIated In the Senate.
But the Wilson bill as it passed the
house was not destined to reach the
statute books. 1t went to the senate.
and there, after stormy figh and a
series of compromises and scandals. it
was so mutilated that ever after it
was known not as the Wilson bill,
but as the Wilson German bill
At the very first senator David B.
Hill. Of New York, announced that he
would oppose the bill under any and
all circumstances so long as it re-
tained the income tax provision. But
as his detection was compensated for
by the adherence Of the three PoDu-
lists, who supported the bill because
of the income tax Mr.. Hills opposition
did not materially affect the PROPOSE

that the bill as it passed the house was

TT Ellen had written a formal little
81 note to Mrs Curtis, her moth
- = erinlaw, saying that her mother
was here from Missouri, visiting them,
and that they would be glad to have
her call
She had done this only because she
knew her mother would be deeply hurt
if some Of Warren's people did not
come to see her, and because she did
not wish her to know of the strained
relations that had so long existed be-
tween Warren's family and herself .
1t was almost a week after the writ
ing of the note that Mrs. Curtis came
1t was about ( in the afternoon and,
as Helen had taken her mother out
sightseeing, they were both tired and
neither Of them was dressed 1t was
Delia's afternoon off; and Helen had
to answer the bell herself.
With much embarrassment Helen led
her into the front room
Mother and I have been shopping
aRd sightseeing all morning. So
we've been very negligent this after
noon and haven't dressed she apollo
gized
After a few commonplace remarks
about the WEAKNESS of shopping and
sightseeing, Helen excused herself for
a moment TO tell her mother that Mrs.
Curtis was here.

where she tried to entertain Mrs Cur

len"
After the introduction there was an
awkward pause. There is probably no
situation more embarrassing to
young wife than that of the first
meeting Of her mother with her moth
erinlaw
Mrs. Curtis was most formal and
cold. And Mrs. Allen, who had ex-
pected the warmest cordiality, was
plainly disconnected.
Il believe this is youg first visit to
New York; Mrs Curtis asked for

My first visit since I was here on
my WcOOluS journey out Jndt was
so long ago, everything is so changed.
1t is like a new city to me now"
yes, 1 suppose So" murmured Mrs
Curtis. and then settled back and left
the conversation to be directed by
Helen and her mother.
An Uncomfortable Situation.
Mrs. Allen was so plainly discon-
certed that Helen tried to relieve her
by talking rapidly Of their plans for
sightseeing while she was here. Mrs.
Curtis made only an occasional polite
assent
And all the time Helen was pain
fully conscious that Mrs Curtis was
cycling her mothers plain old-fashion-
ed black silk, which was in marked
contrast to her own plum-colored
walking suit and large hat with its
nodding plumes.
And Helen resolved that before her
mother returned this call she must
have a new and modish tailored suit.

of the senate amendments were in the
direction Of reduced taxation. the great
mass of them were designed TO In

people. and to increase the protection

But notwithstanding the fact. that
chairman Wilson at that time. and re-
peatedIy at later times, repudiated the
bill as amended. party considerations
at last prevailed, and the house sur
rendered Internationally to the senate.
It was perhaps the greatest error ever
made by a majority Of the lower house
in congress. Chairman Wilson was
careful to announce that it was against
his will, anc only because Of the d.
rection of the party caucus, that he
was willing to give up the fight
against the senate The Wilson-Gor-

measure
OF course the Wilson bill was not,
and could not have been. responsible
for the panic Of 1893. although It since
has been often charged with that re-
troactive crime It was, however, re-
sponsible for a deficit in the treasury.
because the income tax feature was
declared unconstitutional. It also was
responsible for the overwhelming de-
feat Of the party which had violated
its platform pledges in enacting it. In
