dare to put it to The test by op-
ening up the whole tariff law to

hut 90 in the House it would be a
tickllsh situation at best.
In an attempt to Lut a Repub-
lican president in the hole, and
in order to play politics, the Dem
ocrats in the 62nd Congress
brought in several tariff bills. to
amend certain schedules of eX-
listing law-''pop-gun" bills as
they were called. One of these
schedules passed the House with
little difficulty, but when it got
to the Senate an amendment re-
ducing duties on an additional
schedule of the law was tied to
the House bill and carried thro'.

the small Democratic majority in
the House an attempt would be
made to limit consideration to the
sugar schedule alcne, and espec-
tally would this he true should
the request come from the presi-
dent. The Tammany contingent
will have the balance Of power in
the 64th Congress and any bou-
quet which they may present to
the president within the next two
years is more than likely to Sc
cret a noniard. The Picayune is
rather too optimistic. The Dem
ocrats will consider it easier to
issue bonds to meet expenditures
than to repeal the free sugar
clause.
