 Underwood Tariff Bill in the House.
 The Underwood +ariff bill occupies The Republican position is set out i'll a minority report signed by Repre- sentatives Payne of New York, Ferd- ney of Michigan, Gardner of Massa- chusetts, Green of Iowa, Moore Of Pennsylvania and Anderson of Mime sota There is no excuse for the radical change in our revenue sys tenn proposed by this bill,' the report declares The bill aims at a com plete reversal of the economic policy of the government. During period of nearly fifty years we have had protective tariff in this country. Un- der it we have built up manufactur: ing industries not approached by those of any other country The re- port glowingly recounts the blessings of protection whereby large families have been raised. while at the same time farmers have blossomed out into triumphant prosperity, all of which the Democrats now threaten to blow to smithereens.
 MT. Payne has reintroduced his tar if board measure of 1911, and Good Of Iowa, has resurrected his measure of 1912. Lenroot of Wisconsin, in an appeal to the Republican caucus, said that the progressive Republicans had come more than half way" and he wanted the party to stand by the Payne bill. Moore of Pennsylvania put up fight against any Republican party measure being offered in oppo- sition to the Underwood bill, and Fordney of Michigan, inclined to some such program, with the result that he and Payne had a tilt in the con ference; but Payne ruled ths roost and substitutes will be offered by the Republicans to schedules of the Un derwood bill. MT. Hinebaugh of II | linois, offers a solution in one of his Progressive measures, which declares | that inasmuch as the two minority parties outnumbered the Democrats ir ! the popular vote, that the tariff ebill: be submitted to the people of the 4 United States in referendum. IT l the meantime the Honorable Oscal Underwood of Alabama, having recov
 cred from his recent indisposition, i.
 in charge of the tariff bill bearing hi g name, and having whipped practicall, e all opposition in his own party int r. submission, can be depended upon tt 3 deliver the measure through thi l. House in record time.

 "Let Us Have Peace."
