rant increase in the cost OF articles which Lave
become neccssaries to nearly oil the people
Pennsylvania manufacturers complain that the
duties on metals have been reduced and I'D valoren
duties nave been substituted for specific while the
general policy is the verse of this, namely, to sub
sttute specific for adj vaorem duties. This feature
of the bill is defended ON the ground that tire
great decline in the cost of metals at the points
from which they are exported to the United States
has caused the actual rate Of duty on them to be
greatly increased within the last five years. For
instance on certain article manufactured OF
iron specific duty five years ago was equiv
alent TO so per cent; the same specific duty
would now be from 20 to 100 per cent III, there
fore the tax was high enough in 1873, it ought now
TO be reduced. But specific duties fixed now while
the prices of metals much depressed. are ike
w to be TOO low when business RECEIVERS. Inc only
way to solve this problem seemed to the committee
to be to fix an ad valOren duty which averages 80
per cent on all metals This Is lower in some cases
than the present duties and higher IN others, Dt an
official table prepared at the Bureau OF Statistics
shows that the present average rate or duty on
metals is only 2952,oo per cent, or $500 per cent
below the average provided for in the Wood bill
No public arguments upon the bill or any ot lis
provisions will be listened to by the committee al
any time; but persons interested have ample OPP
portunty TO talk with individual members OF the
committee every day. and their representations are
taken into consideration when that part Oh inc OIL
