The Next Step.

The tariff bill having finished it's
journey through the senate now
moves to conference. That it was to
meet with a Wholesale change at the
hands of the upper house was predict
ed and came. But the fundamental
fact of revision downward has result
ed. The Democratic party has kept
its pledge and parhaps after the bill
gets out finally it will be much
different after the usual give and take
process is complete.
1t is not expected that in it's last
stages there will be any continued
fight. But that it will go through
without the usual delay is not to be
hoped for. Much change is possible
in this final time for action.
Business has seen the inevitable
downward trend, and although the
schedules are not yet fixed, it has
been going through a process of adj
justment which will leave little chance

gets passed. Tariff change was as
plain as could be early in the session.
The nation had expressed itself for the
downward revision. Yet this did not
lessen the troubles of President Will
son greatly in his carefully directed
efforts to get the bill through and
still have it look anything like the
Underwood measure in original form.
He has been notable in has success,
fortunately backed by a majority
which has shown determination to
stand by party pledges and see that
they are actually realized.
Predictions as to the time when the
bill would get TO conference have
been about a month out of the way.
The first week of August had been
named as the possible time. But a
month longer than at first supposed,
while having the effect of slowing up
business in some quarters temporar-
lily, is not a serious feature, at least,
if no unnecessary delay comes about

himself. Aug. 9th 1910, he was shot
down by an Assassin as he boarded

was what fastened his death. He

democratic vote increased by many
republicans. 1t will be rushed to

all amendments to be offered to the
bill could be disposed of by Wednes-
day night.
"There are to be no democratic
amendments, he said, "and it will
not take long to dispose of the repub-
lican amendments.
"While there may be few COM

expect it TO pass the house in the
