The Tariff CommissIon-Report Of the
stenographer.
WASHINGTON, October 29th.-The steno-
graphic report of the statements made before
| the Tariff Commission is about completed,
and it Is expected that within a week it will
be in type AID ready for distribution by the
Government Printing Office. Under the
law creating the Commission, it was made the
duty OF the Public Printer to distribute copies
of the testimony to Senators and Representa-
tives just as fast as printed. The Commission
travelled about 1000 miles, held public ses-
sions about seventy days, aud heard state
ments Of between 800 and 600 persons. The
printed record will fill about 1000 pages,
and the recommendation of the Com.
mission will not be known until officially
communicated to Congress- at the open
ing OF the next session. In the
opinion of persons who had unusually good
opportunities for judging of the sentiment Of
the Commission, no radical or important
| changes In the existing tariff will be recon-.
mended. The abandonment Of compound
| duties and ad velorem rates combined with
specific rates will be recommended. It is also
| probable that important changes in Custom.
| house regulations as to clearance and consular
invoice duties will be suggested. No change
| Will be recommended in the duties on china
| ware. The reimposition of the duty Oh
quinine, as persistently urged on the part of
manufacturers of chemicals, will not be ad-
vised. The duly OH raw wool will remain as
| at present. The action of the Convention of
| persons engaged in the iron and steel business
In favor OF increased rates of duties on iron
and steel. in their various stages, will hardly
| be Endorsed by the Commission. The general
result OF the report of ths Commission will
be In favor of making the least possible num-
| Der of changes.
