MORRISON'S TARIFF BILL.
The Author Estimating That 1t Will Cause
Reduction of $50, 900, 900.

Colonel Morrison sprang his new tariff
bill on the Ii ruse last Monday. He esti-
mates a reduction of SEQ 200, 600 in the
revenues of last year. The greatest re-
duCtiou on any one article is in the case
of sugar, where the new duty will resdIt
in decrease of $4,000. 900 in the re-
ceipts. The additions to the free list will
involve a loss of ., 800. 600 and the re-
ductions made by the bill on other arti-
Giles about -, 600, 600. Slight but general
reductions have been made in the case of
woods, flax, linen and hemp, cottons,
window glass, plate glass of high quality,
earthenware and china, where the duty
is believed to be excessive. The duty on
rice, marble, castor beans aud few
chemicals is also slightly reduced. The
bill is likely to come in for a severe and
exhaustive an overhauliug as his famous
horizontal scheme. There appears to be
quite wire difference of opinion
among members who have seen and noted
its provisions as there was when the for
mer measure came before Congress-
Scarcely IA single member can be found
but can offer an amen"ment or two No
halt dozen in Congress could be found
who would agree on any particular sched
ule, though i'll pinch on final adoption
of IA tariff revision bill the lines would be
closely drawn. Colonel Morrison will
have harder time this session with his
tariff ideas than he experienced before.
There will be a bitter aud determined
fight and Mr. Randall will show that the
strength of the protectionists has been
in no way seriously affected by the reor-
ganiZatirn of the House. Mr.. Randall
will assume the offensive against the
Morrison measure. which seems to be
specially leveled at the interests of the
great State of Pennsy lvania. The friends
of protection have /" Ell greatly strength
ened in the South since the last tai i'll bill
was considered and this sentiment Will
be developed as soon as the question
comes before the House for discussion.
1t is the opinion among wellsinformed
public men that no such bill as that pro-
posed can be passed through the present
Congress.
