Montana Senator Converted To
Views Of Senate Majority.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 2. = senato
Walsh effectively put ct rest oil re-
ports that be will break with his party
on the tariff bill whom hs came ous in
. speech in the senate today in de.
tense Of free wool and free sugsr and
reduction OF duty on grains. After
making strong and protr acted fight
for duty on wool and sugar and sp.
pesling In vain to the democrats Of
the finance committee, to President
Wilson and to the democratic caucus
Senator Walsh today virtually de-.
nounced his former position and stout.
ly defended those provisions, which
previously he had asssiled.
His speech 10 generally accepted as
indicating his purpose to maintain
his party regularity, having been de.
feated In both committee and caucus.
Sen stor Walsh devoted the principal
part of his speech to q defense of free
wool and free sugar. Discussing the
wool question Sen ator Walsh insisted
that the wool business will survive
the present tariff revision.
1.-THE tariff never did increase the
price OF wool to exceed 4 cents .
pound" said Senator Walsh quoting
Judge William Lawrence, former pre-
sident of the National Wool Growers
association, or cents according to
Fred Hagenbarth now president OF the
came association.
Sen ator Walsh contendsd that the
Intelligent farmer realizes that be has
nothing to lose In the general revi.
sion of the tariff, that the lowering of
duties generally promotes competition
in the commodities be must buy, even
though he may occasion ally profit by
the duty on come grains he raises.
He sees compens alton in this bill.
Senator Walsh predicted that Ameri-
can farmers will not be injured by the
reduction In duties on wheat, oats,
barley and fax, and on most OF these
grains the American farmer will have
the advantage of Is cents over bis
Canadian competitor, which the differ
ence In cost OF production here and In
Canada does not exceed cents, and
Senator Walsh thinks there is practi-
cally no difference.
