RECIPROCITY BILL
ADOPTED BY THE STATES
Washington, April 23.
The House of Representatives has adopted the Reciprocity Bill, the voting being : For 265, against 89. The majority of the Republicans voted against the Bill, with ten Democrats.
The Republicans bitterly fought against the measure, striving to pass amendments. Finally the Republicans moved the whole of the farmers’ free list, which the Democrats are pledged to carry, but were defeated, the Democrats explaining that they would pass them when the free list was formally before the House. The Democratic leader (Mr Underwood) declared that the free list would become law or the President and Senate who rejected it would never be heard from again.
