nd remove inequalities in the existing law.

,,ate or perfect measure Of tariff revision,
IL holds that it is a decided step in the

,ronosed in the existing laws relate to re-
suction on planed lumber iron of various
binds rice and ready made clothing. The

E;or and all laws restricting it's sale and
Il;snosition by farmers and producers

feet. It also permits, from and after the
massage Of the act, the manufacture and
4sale CT fruit brandies and wines free Of in
ternal revenue taxes. Under the head OF
Eilk silk goods and leather goods, the bill
embraces the recommendations OF Assis-
