Supported by all the democrats and by thirty insurgent republicans, the democratic cotton tariff bill, the third of the big 'tariff revision measures brought forward by. the democratic house of representatives, passed that body Thursday evening by a vote of 202 to 91. The bill cuts the average tariff on cotton manufactured goods from 48 to 27 per cent ad valorem, a 21 per cent reduction in duty that the democratic leaders estimate will reduce revenue by about 93,000,000. • Thursday the republican leaders in both,houses of congress called in absent members from all parts of the country in preparation for a threatened attempt of the democrats to pass the wool tariff bill over the President Taft’s veto. The democratic leaders in the house have asserted within the last twenty* four hours that they have the necessary two-thirds majority to pass the wool bill over the president’s veto, and did effective missionary work in the senate Friday. The republican managers in the house insist that thsy have enough votes to prevent the twothirds majority in support of the wool bill.
