V I have no purpose to delay tne con sideration of this bill," said Senator Hitchcock, '.'but I deplore the tendency of Senators, on both sides of this cham ber to read this bill as foreclosed to amendment because of the . action of Democratic caucus." r Senator Gallinger, a Republican leader, said ..that the Presidentwas quoted as ' In . favor of broad public discussion, had approved of the caucus both on the tariff bill and the currency bill. . - - '- .
