PROGRESS OF WORK on THE TARIFF BILL
FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT

WASHINGTON, March Is, 1873
THE REVISION OF THE TARIFY-soAdE OF THE
DIFFICULTIES EXPERIENCED By THE COM
MIrrEE.
The Committee of Ways and Means is getting on
we'll with The Tariff bll Mr. Wood and the committee
have very carafuy revised tho list OF duties and
determined that raw materials used in manufac-
lures, such hides aud many chemicals shall enter
free as one OF the best ways OF encouraging home
Industry. Representatives Of some important wooen
manufacturing interests desire that wool shall be
made Tree and would willingly consent to reduction
OF the duty wooen manufactures to twenty-five
per cent Ono of the troubles In revising tariff Is
that manufacturers themselves are not agreed upon
those matters which interest them ana the
main for this that, whiIo some manu-
iacturers who carry their business with the
best machinery and with sufficient capital
ana business skill know themselves 10 be
able to work safely under lower duties especially
they can have their raw material free OF duty, and
see tho advantage OF such system, others in tho
business less skilful and capable business mon.
who have made blunder in choosing a disadvan-
tagcous location, in using poor machinery, cry
continually Tor higher duties, and is these lame
ducks OF industry who besiege Congress Tor higher
duties on their specialties II was said many years
ago by Psnnsylvaaia master that Mr.. Thaddeus
lron was not properly the spokesman Of the iron in
tercst because his furnace badly located
could not ompste with the Of iron producers
his own State.
The committee is giving q hcasins 70 all manu-
facturers who come before them. They want 10 do
what s for the best Of the manu-
facturers Of The country aud what will enable these
most rapidly and probably to foreign market
for their surplus products and thus get to work on
fall time and give employment the largest number
OF operatives
Tho section OF the bill which makes all articles
used in ship building free. but allows foreign built
ships 10 be bought by Americans and bs put under
our aag, Is likely to be most strcnuousy fought
by the shipbuilding interests. 1t has proposed
TO substituts for the clause making ships Tree
allowing ships to be imported manufactured articles
on payment Of twenty per cent ad valorcm duty. II
10 thought that with all the materials for shpbuild-
ing on the trce list this duty would give satisfactory
rejection to the shipbuilders of tho country.

We publish .his week the call for the
Congressional Convention which will
meet at Cedar Rapids on We'd June Goth.
The guinness 10 DO transacted we presume
will be merely q farr al denomination of
our present able and popular Represen-
tativn. Hon Rush Clark At last thoro
has as yet no opposition to him developed
itself. He has served his first term thus
far with success and credit aud to the
general satisfaction Of his constituency,
and his re-nomina'ien is a foregone con-
c%lusion. That he will be re elected there
Is no doubt whatever if the Republicans
of the District do their duty. The De-
mocracy are going to use every endeavor,
honest and dishonest, to get a large ma
jo:ity or at least keep their present row-
err in the House of Representatives. and
it behooves Republicans everywhere to
see to it that nothing is lost by default.
The Communists OF. Nationals as they
term themselves, are assuming alarming
proportions in some of the eastern cities
and localities, and the Democrats will
join with them and do ~ihcirutmost TO re-
gam what they lost when James Buchanan
went out of Office and Abraham Lincoln
stepped in, and judging from late develop
ments in Congress we believe the same
scenes would be re-enacted il they once
got control of the Government. There,
tore, we say, let US sec TO it that We hold
pm to what power we have in Congress,
and regain u opposition lost through the
influence of Independents, Greenbackers,
&c. in the North, and Rife Clubs and the
like in the South.
