WASHINGTON, September o7.-Eyery
member Of the Tariff Commission was un.
derstood to be, at the time Of his appoint
ment, in favor Of tariff for protection,
with incidental revenue. Some of them,
perhaps all Of them, were in favor Of a
revision Of the tariff laws, which would
leave them tolerably symmetrical code,
relieved of many features which are obso-
lete or useless. and with provisions clearing
up the uncertainties growing out OF the
antiquities OF the present badly.worded,
ill.arranged statutes. But one OF them has
intinated that he would favor a revision
which would reduce the duty on any article
OF import whose like is manufactured by an
American under the protection OF our bene-
ticient tariff. There are some minor articles
now on the duty list which the Com
mission may think should be on the
free list, or whose duty should, at
least, be reduced, but no one OF them
will be likely to urge reduction OF the
duty on steel rails, and salt, or wood.pulp,
or woolen goods. 1fthere or to be two re-
ports from the Commission, there is no
reason to believe that they will differ other
than on matters OF detail. Both will be
what has been expected, rather than what
has been desired by the people. While
the Commission was still in Washington,
it was stated by gentlemen who had excel
lent means Of knowing, that the report OF
the Commission had been prepared sub
stantially as it would be represented TO
Congress this winter, and was then in the
pocket Of member Of the Commission = =
II, as Is estimated, the bill OF expenses
which the Commission will present to
Congress aggregates more than $4,000,
involving a heavy deficiency, there will
probably be some discussion before the
Senate and House decide that the service
rendered in carrying that report all over
the country is worth the amount asked
