communication the Secretary of the Treasury
planatory OF the workings OF the Hawaiian Treaty,
authorized Representative Kasson TO report TO the
House n resolution avorng Tho retention Of the treaty
hut in a modified form. Representatives Bount and
Belmont dissent from tho report Of the majority. Mr.
Belmont takes the ground that various grades OF
contemplated by the treaty have been admitted free
duty and that therefore the Treasury Department Is
on trial, rather than the treaty
In the House Mr.. KIsOn. behalf OF the majority OF
the committee, presented Joint resolution providing
cOndonay for the termination of the treaty with the
Hawaiian Government. IL requests the President TO
take such steps may be needful 10 bring about
vision OF the treaty TO the end that the clause relative
the introduction of Hawaiian brown and

TARIFF ON W00LLEN DRESS GOODS.

70 The Editor of The Tribune
SIR: The present rates of duty on all wool dress
goods are as follows On goods costing 20 cents or
less per square yard 9 cents square yard and 80
per cent costing over 20 cents, cents a square
yard and 40 per cent At the instigatioD of single
mill in New gland the Tariff Commission pro-
poses that on all grades or all wool dress fabrics
the rate shall be IL cents square yard and 40 per
cent. On nearly all textile fabrics the commission
have proposed an advance In the rate of duty. In
your editorial of to-day you say that the commits
sion reported that the tariff ought 70 be substan-
TALLY reduced. You must sec that they did not
mean to reduce, but did mean to increase it. When
the agent of mill in Massachusetts can fix the
rate Of duty on goods which he wants to make, IT
seems to Inc that good, square, honest paper like
THE tribune ought TO protest against such unjust
legislation. III. NJ. MESSENGER.
