Tbo house sugar bill is by far the most radical tariff legislation thuj far proposed by tho Domocrats In that body and is bo worded as to mako it appear that tho houso Do-mocYacy Do-mocYacy Is not in favor of even Incidental In-cidental protection, for here Is an lnstanco where tho house proposes to ollmlnato tho duty on sugar and make up for tho loss In rcvenus by tho Imposition of an Incorao tax. Whllo It is truo that several progressive pro-gressive Republican senators favor tho Democratic lncomo tax bill, none of them thus far have declared themselves them-selves In favor of freo sugar. It Is of courso proposed that tho sug,r bill shall first be passed and then pass tho lncomo tax bill, but If tho sugar bill falls, thoro will bo no I need for tho lncomo tax. At tho pres- cnt tlmo thoro appears, to bo no chanco whatever that tho sugar bill can pass tho senate, tor It will be opposed solely or almost solely by the Republican majority, and there will bo, several Democratic votes against It. |
