WASHINGTON, June 27.-AIr. Randall
will tomorrow introduce his tariff bill in
the house. The bill, he says, does not con-
tain anything novel or extraordinary. and
is designed to build up much-needed indus
tries, revive those that are languishing and
remove irregularities in the existing law.
He does not claim that the bill is a complete
or perfect measure OF tariff revision, but
holds that it is decided step in the right
direction. and a sufficient indication OF the
policy that should be pursued in remOdeling
the tariff and revenue laws. The changes
il the rates proposed are to go into effect on
the 1St of January, 1887. The additions to
tue present free list are squared timber
boards and lumber in the rough, hubs for
wheels, slaves and wood OF ali kinds i'll the
rough, .jute, butts and briStleS. The
present law admitting live animals I'M
ported for breeding purposes free of duty is
repealed. The principal changes proposed
to be made in existing laws are as follows:
