WASHINGTON, March 2z.-The Mckinley
iron and steel bill is receiving the attention
Of the Ways and Means Committee at
present Early in the present month Mr..
Mckinley introduced a bill to abolish dis.
criminating duties and enlarge the free
lists. This bill places GaSsa, vera cassia
buds cinnamon, Glove stems, mace, nut.
megs, pepper, white and black; oil OF bay
leares,oil Of cloves, oil Of cubebs, nitro.ben.
zole, oil OF mirbane, gum, assafntida, crude
chloride OF potassium, and nitrate Of potasia
upon the free list.
This list will be enlarged in few days by
q new bill to be introduced by Mr, Kelly,
and to this he will attach the provisions Of
the Mckinley iron and steel bill. This
boils all the necessary tariff legislation OF
the present session down into one act, and
will make the measures less difficult to
pass. Should these measures become a
law the protectionists care very little
whether the tariff is revised, as it corrects
the principal abuses of the present system
Of heavy duties upon articles not produced
in this country, and unlimited discretion
on the part OF the Treasury Department in
the matter Of customs duties.
