Ia an interview with Congressman Gorman, had by the Free Press Washington correspondent, Mr. Gorman, who voted against the acceptance by the house of the senate tariff schedule, said: "I voted in the caucus and in the house today against receding, because no satisfactory proof wasgiven that the senate would not yet cornpromise on a fair revenue bilĂ­. I believe the temper of the people of this country, especially of the west, is emphatically against any concessions to the sugar trust that is reported to have on hand $112,500,000 worth of raw sugar awaiting the passage of the senate bill. This means 40 per cent of that sum instantly given up to the sugar trust. I thought we should insist on free sugar, free coal and free iron ore now, or else we will have to fight the whole battle over again."
