AUGUST 2, 1912
The Commoner.
13
publican votes, "wore amendments for
the repeal of the Canadian recipro
city law and the fixing of a $2 per
ton tariff on print paper and for the
establishment of a permanent non
partisan tariff commission.
The second day's victory for the
democratic progressive combination
came after a debate lacking interest.
The passage of the excise bill be
came certain early in the day and
the republican leaders offered little
opposition to it. Senator Borah, in
a fight to have his income tax bill
substituted for the "tax on business,"
lost by a vote of thirty-thrae to
twenty-three, although he mustered
to his support many of the regular
republicans and four democrats, Ash
hurst, Culberson, Hitchcock and Mar-tine.
A "Washington dispatch, carried by
the Associated Press follows: The
senate's unexpected passage of the
La Follette wool bill "presents a situ
ation upon which Majority Leader
Oscar W. Underwood of the house
thinks the two branches of congress
can agree. Mr. Underwood said he
thought there would be little dif
ficulty in reaching a compromise. In
this case a bill almost identical with
the one President Taft vetoed on
August 17, 1911, probably will go to
the White House within a few weeks.
The former bill was vetoed on the
ground that the tariff board had not
reported on its investigation of
Schedule "K."
Leaders of both houses say the La
Follette bill follows the conclusions
of the board quite closely.
When the La Follette wool bill
reached the house, Majority Leader
Underwood demanded that it be sent
to conference and the senate amend
ment be disagreed to.
Representative Payne of New
York, objected to the bill going to
conference before it had been re
ferred to the ways and means com
mittee. Accordingly the naming of
the conferees was put over until
later. ,
A bill, giving "dry" states the right
to intercept shipments of liquor
from "wet" territory, was reported
favorably by the senate judiciary
committee.
Congresman Sulzer of New York
announces that he will not abide by
the democratic caucus which decided
against more battleship, appropriations.
Following is an Associated Press
dispatch: A republican sugar tariff
bill, the first purely republican re
publican revision measure of the
present congress, was adopted in the
senate. Deserting their allies of the
last few days, the republican progres
sives, by an ironclad agreement with
the regulars succeeded in passing a
tariff reduction bill which they be
lieve President Taft will sign if it
reaches him. The sugar bill was a
compromise between the Lodge plan,
indorsed by the regular republicans
and the Bristow bill, behind which
the progressives lined up. It would
cut the present sugar duty of $1.90
to $1.60; would abolish the Dutch
standard, under which practically no
refined sugar can be imported and
would abolish the 7 cent "refin
ers differential," an additional duty
on refined' sugar, which it is claimed
has accrued directly to the profit of
the sugar refiners.
The republicans placed "big poli
tics" in the third and last day's fight
on tariff measures. The regulars
came down from the $1.82 duty of
the Lodge bill, while the progressives
moved upward from the $1.52 rate
in the original Bristpw bill.
The compromise, which is only 7
cents above the lowest figures named
by the progressives, Is considered a
victory for Senator Bristow, who has
been the most activo advocate of
sugar tariff reduction on the repub
lican side of the senate.
Tho democratic free sugar bill
passed by the house of representa
tives did not come to a vote in tho
senate. The Brlstow-Lodgo amend
ment was first adopted in the com
mittee of the whole by a voto of
thirty-seven to twenty-five, Senators
Thornton and Foster of Louisiana,
democrats, voting with tho republi
cans. Tho senate democrats then offered
their substitute for tho house bill
proposing a one-third reduction In
tho existing sugar tariff. This was
defeated, thirty-six to twenty-four,
tho republicans, regulars and pro
gressives holding to their agreement.
The Bristow-Lodgo bill finally passed
tho senate with all but two demo
crats voting for it. Tho final vote
was fifty-two to three, the negative
votes being cast by Senators Hey
burn, republican, and Foster and
Thornton, democrats.
It Is estimated that tho sugar
tariff reduction, if it becomes effec
tive, will reduce government cus
toms receipts about $5,500,000, while
its saving in the retail tugar bill of
the nation Is estimated at $20,-000,000.
Representative Rodenburg, repub
lican, delivered a speech in tho house
denouncing Governor Wilson and Mr.
Bryan and eulogizing Mr. Taft.
A NEW BIRTH OF FREEDOM
Editorial in New York World:
The nomination of Woodrow Wilson
for president means a new democ
racy. It means a new epoch in
American self-government.
The democratic party at last has
broken its shackles. It has emanci
pated itself. It has rehabilitated
itself in power and principle. It has
turned its face to the rising sun, to
reestablish the faith of the Ameri
can people in their own Institutions.
Woodrow Wilson will be tho next
president of tho United States. But
ho will be more than that. He will
bo the first president of tho United
States in a generation to go into
office owing favors to nobody except
the American people and under obli
gations to nothing except the general
welfare.
No political boss brought about
his nomination. No political machine
carried his candidacy to victory. No
coterie of Wall street financiers pro
vided the money to finance his cam
paign. He has no debt to pay to
corrupt politics or to corrupt busi
ness. He was nominated by the irre
sistible force of public opinion, and
by that alone. He stands before the
country a free man.
The American people have set out
to regain possession of their govern
ment, and Woodrow Wilson was
nominated for president because he
embodies that issue. The bosses and
the plutocrats who tried to prevent
his nomination were beaten by the
power of the people, and the power
that nominated him is the power
that will elect him.
With Woodrow Wilson as tho
democratic candidate for president,
it makes no difference what Mr.
Roosevelt does. It makes no
difference how many third parties he
organizes. Progressive democrats
and progressive republicans now
have a candidate of their own. The
contest between Mr. Roosevelt and
Mr. Taft is now a contest for tho con
trol of the republican organization,
and nothing more. The menace of
a third term no longer hangs over the
country. The menace of personal
government no longer threatens
American" institutions. The United"
States is not to bo Mexicanized. It
la to be re-Americanized.
