 CHICAGO, July 10.-At midnight he on platform had not con- pleted its work, having been in session | 36 hours. On the subject of tariff a | great variety of propositions were made. | Late this afternoon Messrs Hewett, | Watterson and Burke constructed out | of the propositions tariff plank and | this was taken as q basis of discussion. | It was shaped so as to meet the ap- l proval of all members of the sub-com. mittee except Butler. The plank as to the general committee and | by it, declares in substance as i follows:
 That the need of a change in our | tariff system is made manifest by the | excessive revenue; that since the fOunda- | ton of the government customhouse | duties have furnished it's main source of | the system must continue; under 1t many industries have sprung | into existence which depend for con tinuance of prosperity on the faith and | protection of the government; that the | change from a bad system to a good | one should not be made precipitately in | any manner likely to injure these great | interests, but rather to promote a healthy growth; enough revenue can be | collected from any excise duty on dis tiled spirits and malt liquors and | duties upon fewer articles To support the government, pay pen siOns and discharge the interest and | of the public debt. For the reduction of taxation can be had without harm to the wages of | labor.
 This plank in the platform closes by declaring that all taxation shall be ex- for public purposes and no more taxes shall be collected than are 'equired to support the government This Is the only plank ret adopted.
