The decision TO debate the tariff bill IN
its entirety was equivalent to "a vote

largely TO a plea for party harmony. re-

Democrats to put the tariff bill through

tify the opportune and earlier analysis
of The Tribune, and the same Is true
of the advance statement that the rates
on tobaccos, wines and other Injuries
would be left practically untouched by
the Democratic revisionists. There is
one immaterial change in the tobacco
schedule. The spirits schedule was left
unchanged.
The committee held, as forecast,
that silk goods were Injuries, and APP
proximately the present high rates
were approved by the Democratic COM
mittee.

there were reductions in other grades
of paper, as forecast.

CIeary Analyses Tariff Bill
for The Tribune.
STRONG PROTECTION VIEW
Party in Power, He Says, Has
Abandoned It's Time Honored
Policy of Tariff for
Revenue Only.

The following article was written for
The Tribune by James T. Mccleary, for
mer member of Congress from Minnesota.
who has devoted much study to the tariff
question and IL firm believer in protcc-
ton
"The tariff bill introduced into Congress
on Monday is professedlv framed to keep
the campaign promises of the Democratic
party. Even a casual examination of the
bill shows that in it's method IL is an
abandonment of Democratic principle. II
does not take one step toward that which
for eighty years the Democratic party has
advocated as the ideal tariff. The bill
makes no move toward "A tariff for revc-
nuc only.
THE pending bill is the first proposal
for a tariff Law since the recent adoption
of the Sixteenth Amendment TO the Con
stituton. whereby Congress is given au-
thority to levy an income tax. One sec
ton of the bill provides for the levying OF
such a tax. The Committee on WAYS and
Means estimates that the revenue from
the proposed income tax will amount in
round numbers to 100000 "A year. This
they have utilized to place on the free list
many articles heretofore on the dutiablc
list, thereby cutting of fourth OF the
revenue now raised by duties on imports.
In other words, the pending bill gives
evidence that the Democratic party Is
headed as never before toward absolute
free trade. and that II will move in that
direction tust as fast as n can figure out
ways TO produce national revenues other
wise than by the tariff. Already propo-
sails are being made for raising stu more
revenue through income and Inheritance
taxes. with the view Of placing still other
items on the free list.

Washington, April 9-The Underwood
faction in the House proved its mastery
of the situation to-day. when. on three
distinct occasions. the Democratic caucus
stood suuarely behind the majority leader
and his programme of tariff revision and
committee assignments. The caucus APP
proved the Underwood idea for revision
of the tariff under a blanket bill. and
also the decision of the chairman of the
Ways and Means Committee to delay the
creation of the standing committees of
the House until the tariff is out OF the
way.
Democrats who insisted that the latter
procedure amounted 10 the welding of a
club over the rank and file by the Ways

Oklahoma insurgcnt. who purposed TO
take from the Ways and Means body the
power 10 appoint other committees. Mr..
Thompson did not press his motion after
Mr. Underwood had invited HIM To do so.
The caucus decided To take up the tarih
bill item by item under the ivc-mlnute
rule. and when adjournment was taken

approved without amendment tho chemi-
cal schedule. Numerous amendments were
