RANDALL,S TARIFF BILL READY
 Te Be Introduced To The House To.
 Day-Some of The Changes Pro posed | By The Measure.
 | WASHINGTON, June 27-Mr. Randall has
 completed his tariff bill and will introduce
 the measure in the House of Representative
 tomorrow. Those who are thoroughly ac- quainted with the bill and the existing tariffs
 say that MT. Randall's bill does not contain l anything novel or extraordin ary; that that 1 portion which relates to duties on imports 1 includes much that was embraced in the bill l introduced early in the session by MT. Morri- son and referred to the Committee on Ways
 and Means, that it also embraces the recom- l mendations of Secretary Fairchild in his let 1 ter of June IA, 1886, to the chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means relating to silks, 1aees, embroideries and leatlfer gloves;
 that the other provisions changing rates of l duty on imported articles seem to be de-
 signed to build up anew much needed indus tries or to revive those which are languish- 1 ing, that it is in the interest of home labor 1 and home trade and at the same time in
 many ways gives encouragement to our agri-
 
 1 it is probable would reduce the cost of com modities to the consumers Of the country 1 and will afford proper protection to legiti- l mate imports throughout the United States by judicious application of specific duties,
 thereby reducing the opportunities for fraud and eyasions; that it will simplify admins tration and diminish the cost of collecting the revenue. The administration provisions of the bill are with slight notifications those of the Hewitt bill, as also the provision (sec- tion ? remitting the internal tax on alcohol 1 used for manufacturing purposes. The sec- tions abolishing the internal revenue tax on
 tobacco, snuff, cigars, etc., and fruit distilla- tions are those embraced ill bills introduced, and heretofore published, by MT. Tucker. The authorities above alluded to also say there is nothing in the bill calculated to cause a shock to any business interest, but that it contains a number of provisions
 which would infuse new life into different
 business interests and that the general ten dency of the bill would be reassuring. MT. Randall does not claim that the bill is complete or perfect measure of tariff revision, but decided step in the right direction and a sufficient indication of the policy which should be pursued in revising and remodel ling our tariff and revenue laws. MT. Ran dall's bill is entitled "A bill to reduce and equalize duties on imports, to reduce inter nal revenue taxes and to modify tLe laws in relation to the collection of the revenue.'
