sey, in discussing tho Underwood tarif bill. goes
straight to the point when II says that ION the

The Vtrotndam does not believe there are as
many bad features in the bill as the Times
thinks While Of course. the bill is not perfect
The Vfroin4an Is satisfied with it az 1t stands
and thinks the senate could do a great deal
worse than accept it as 1t is. The danger in
amendment lies in the fact that opportunity
will be offered for the making of more mis-
takes than have already been made and in CIV
ing the Republicans, in senate barely con-
troled by the Democrats. chance to make
changes which will not be at all in accordance
with Democratic views
The point OF interest about the statement of

paper admits that the Underwood bill redeems
Democratic pledges. That is what the Demo
Gratis have to do. That and nothing more
