MEASURE REDUCES NATIONS RE-

PER YEAR.
VOTE STOOD 81 TO 3
AFTER CONSIDERATION BY THE
HOUSE, BILL GOES TO
PRESIDENT.

western Newspaper Union News Service,
Washington.-A Republican sugar
tariff BILL the first purely Republican
revision measure OF the present Con
gress, has been adopted in the Senate.
DESERVING their allies of the last few
days, the Republican Progressives, by
an iron clad agreement with the regu-
lars, succeeded in passing tariff re-
duction bill which they believe Presi-
dent Taft will sign.
1t is estimated that the sugar tariff
reduction, If it becomes effective, will
reduce the governments custom re-
ceipts about $500, 600, while its saw.
ing in the retail sugar bill Of the nation
is estimated at s2O,00O,0OO per year.
The sugar bill was a compromise be-
tween the Lodge plan endorsed by the
regular Republicans, and the Bristow
bill, behind which the Progressives
lined up. II would cut the present
sugar duty OF $3.50 TO Sl.6O; would
abolish the Dutch standard, under
which practically no refined sugar can
be imported. and would abolish the ~
per cent. refiner's differential, an
additional duty on profit of the refin.
ers.
The regular Republicans came down
from the $1.S2is duty OF the Lodge
bill. while the ProEressives moved up
ward from the s1.52la rate in the
original Bristow bill. The compro-
mise is only az cents above the low
est figures named by the Progress
ives.
The Democratic free sugar bill
passed by the House did not come to a
vote in the Senate.
The Bristow.Lodge amendment was
first adopted in committee OF the
whole by vote Of 81 to 25, Senators
Thornton and Foster OF Louisiana.
Democrats, voting with the Republi-
cans.
The Senate Democrats then offered
their substitute for the House bill, pro
posing a one.third reduction in the ex.
listing sugar tariff. This was defeated.
SO to "a. the Republican regulars and
progressives holding to their agree
ment The Brlstow-Lodge amendment
finally passed the Senate with all but
two Democrats voting for IL. The final
vote was 80 10 3. the negative votes

Democrats.
The attitude Of the Senate Demo
Gratis in finally supporting the Repub.
lean bin Is expected TO have influence
with the Democrats OF the House
when the amended bill goes back
there.
An attempt 10 attach the Canadian
reciprocity repeal amendment to the
bill, made by Senator McCumber. was
defeated. 81 TO "a. This vote showed
the purpose OF the Republicans TO pre-.
vent any change In the sugar bill that
might mean It's defeat when II goes

ing the chairman. The Baltimore
convention Of this year will stand
as the longest continued session OF
a political party resulting in the naming
of a standard bearer. even though the
hfty-seven-ballot point of 1860 was not
passed. inasmuch as the Charleston
convention was fruitless. This may he
a point of small consolation to the dele
gates who have just managed to pick a
ticket for this years race, but doubtless
they will in after years point with some
degree of pride to the fact that they par
ticipated in the memorable struggle at
Baltimore, and tell their children and
grandchildren OF their determined stand

more now ranks second in the history of
this country. having neared the record
made in 1850 by the democratic party in
session at Charleston. when ffty-seven
ballots were taken without result. cnti!
the Baltimore meeting was called 10 orde.
shortly after O'Clock Monday night sec
ond place in the matter of number of bal
lots was held by the nominating meeting OF
the republicans at Chicago in 1850, when
Garfield was nominated on the thirty sixth
ballot. The Baltimore meeting beat this
performance by ten The Charleston
convention OF 1860 was deadlocked by the
withdrawal of a large number of the

the number remaining was 252. of which
number two-thirds would have been 18S.
douglas never reached even that point,
his highest vote being ISL. 1t has been
disputed question whether he would
have been the nominee Of the party at
that convention if he had received 16s
votes, even though this would have been
thirty -four short Of the necessary two
thirds Of the full strength before the
withdrawal Of the ffty-one southerners.
