WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The Re-
publican onslaught on the tarif bill
and constantly repeated declarations
that the democratic managers and,
President Wilson have Disseminated
against the farmer in each schedule
where the agricultural list is inter-.
ssted, is getting on the, nerves Of the
men who are responsible for the dem
ocratic tariff measure. s8 Ia
Overtures have been made to re-
publican progerssives during the past
few days. Democrats are offering to
make concessions in the agricultural
schedules If progressiyes will come
to the support of the bilE The pro-
gressives have asked what assurance
they will have. that the house will
stand by any agreement made. As
surances OF that kind cannot be made
up, SO the negotiations end at that
point. Chairman Simmons failed to
agree upon a compromise with Lead
or Underwood with respect to the
wool schedule that would enable that
business to begin adjusting itself to
the new conditions For that reason
republican progressives are not viii
ling to enter into any bargain that
depends upons the caprice Of Mr. Ups
derwood and the house managers
For several days Chairman Sim
mons and his colleagues have been
flirting with Senators LaFollette and
Kenyon and other republican progress
sises, and P0indexter, an sout,an-out
progressive. None OF these will en-
ter into bargain. Poindexter, at
one time Qroled q favoring free su-
gar, now halks at the suggestion. The
democrats, since the death Of sena-
tor Johnston, reducing the majority
to a single vote, are desperately anx-
ious to bring some progressives into
camp. They are willing to make
most any ofrer, but cannot deliver
the goods % long as Underwood and
his colleagues win not agree. The
detection Of single democrst now
will defeat the bill. The sugar sched-
ule, which comes next in order is q
be passed over the hope that the Al
ALBANIA election will be held before 1t
is necessary to dispose Of that prob
lem. ID
Working along another line to has
ten final action ON the bill, the DEM
ocrats conferred with Senators Smoot
and LaFo!lette to see II certain con-
cessions IN favor of the farmers
would be met with an agreement up
on day for the final vote. This. too,
fell through, because the house man
ayers must be reckoned with and Mr..
Simmons could not pledge them
Democratic managers in the senate
are badly worried. The cry Of dis
crimination against the farmers is be-
ginning to have q telling effect The
farmers are writing letters to demo
cratic senators and threatening ven
geance at the next election. In the
midst of 1t all President Wilson sim
ply Glands pat and insists that the
bill as now framed shall be enacted
