The following article from recent
issue Of the Washington Post indi-
Gates, the political complications
caused by the tariff bill now under
consideration in the senate:
unable to obtain any assistance
from their own Democratic senators,
thousands Of planters, manufacturers,
and business men of the Southern
States are now swamping the Repub-
licans Of the senate with letters and
kilograms pleading for modification
of the new tariff bill.
Most OF the letters state very
frankly that appeals have been made
to the southern senators, but that the
replies have been nOn-cOmmittal.
The southern senator's. in the
words OF one Of their number. are
sweating blood They realize, 1t is
said, that they have been placed at a
disadvantage by the 'nQ-compromise'
attitude OF President Wilson.
The same thing Is true of western
Democratic senators. One OF them
has made the following statement to
a score OF his fellow members: Il
will vote for the tariff bill, but 1t will
mean my defeat when I come up for
reelection.
1T is from real fear, it is said, that
the Democrats have resorted to the
threat Of imprisonment for manufac-
turers who close their mills or reduce
wages. They feel that the result OF
the tariff bill may be ground swell
Of resentment against the Democratic
which will throw many of
them out of their jobs.
