SENATE PASSES TARIFF BILL
VAIN STRUGGLE MADE BY THE
REPUBLICANS TO FORCE THE
AMENDMENTS.
Democrats Presented Solid Front and
Only Allowed Such Amendments
as Were Suitable.

Washington.-The Democratic tar.
if revision bill passed the senate amid
burst of applause that swept down
from crowded galleries and found its
echo on the crowded floor of the SEN
ate.
Its passage was attended with sur
prises in the final moments OF the
voting, when Senator LaFollette, Re-
publican, cast his vote with the Dem
ocrats, and was joined a few moments
later by Senator PoindeXter, Progress
sive.
The Democrats had counted
throughout the long tariff fight upon
losing the votes of Senators Ransdell
and Thornton of Louisiana, Demo-
Gratis, who voted against the bill be-
cause it would put sugar on the free
list.
Until the names of Senators LaFol-
lette and Poindexter were actually
called, however, no one knew def
nitely the stand they would take, and
their votes were greeted with enthu-
siastic applause
The vote was "A to 81 in favor of
the bill after all amendments had
been defeated.
President Wilson expressed great
qualification over the end of the long
struggle in the senate. Senator Sim
mons, chairman of the finance COM
mittee,- who had piloted the bill
tb,cN,oh tho financa committee the
Democratic caucus and the senate,
predicted that it's passage would GER
tainly bring immediate stimulus to the
commercial life of the country. Y
AS it passed the senate the tariff
bill represents an average reduction
of more than per cent. from the
rates of the original bill that passed
the house, and nearly % per cent.
from the rates of the existing law.
