SENATE BALKS 11
CURRENCY BILL
Claim That Tariff is Enough fo
One Session—Take One or
None'is Ultimatum.
Washington, D. C., July 30.—
The members of the Senate have
served notice on the president
and the leaders of the Democrat
ic party that if any effort is made
to pass a currency bill at this
session they will filibuster on the
tariff and prevent its passage at
this session.
The revolt in the majority
party threatens the passage of
the tariff bill for which the Dem
ocrats have 1ml a scanty major
ity and are unable as yet to pre
dict Ilie outcome of the wool and
sugar schedules.
Republican senators claim that
if the majority attempt to make
any more changes in the present
law governing business; change
the country from a high tariff to
free'trade, ad at the same time
start to monkey with the mone
tary system without first allow
ing the business uien to accus
tom themselves to the change in
the tariff, the worst panic the
country has ever known will
surely follow.
