MoRRIsoN'S TARIFF SCHEME.
Reduction of the paty on Wool and
Iron ProbRbIe-Ths Free List.

Iron ProbaEIe-Th- Free List.
WASHINGTON CITY, Feb. G-In the prep
aration of his tariff bill Mr. Morrison will
enaeavor t. make sach. a bill as viii receive
the support u. ri5 iai,tical associates, who
believe tiIa s5m4 rtyi iun should be made
hut ybo viii not con .ent to surrender the
protection taat is :;e.iaved necessary to fos-
ter and stimulate manufactures With
this view, therefore, Mr. Morrison will not
include any article or commodity in
his bill that would provoke the op-
position of the clement alluded to, ga
which would invite an organized opposition
TO the measure as a whole regardless of any
merits it may contain Tl'us far it has
been determinedsto make to changes in exist
ing rates of duty upon textiles of any de-
scription
There is likely to be reduction in the
rates now imTo osed on the higher grades Of
wool, known as clothing and combing
woods, but no change will be attempted in
the rates on wools of low grade The pres
ent duty on clothing and COM ing woo,s is
10 cents per pound, aud when exceeding
that value II cents per pound, When
washed and secured these rates are
increased from % to 3G cents per pound
The importation of tie first two classes of
wool in 1884 was over - ,C0),G0l pounds,
upon which tie duty collected was s., ,562,
500. In 1885 the importation droppel to
Il. 400, 0D0 pounds and the duty to 81 ,'52,-
01p. OF the lower grade wool' the imports
in 1854 wcre nearly 63,@9,C00 pounds and
in 1855 nearly 51,0Q pounds, and the duty
collected thereon s1,tc0625 and &l,412, 30
respectively. In regar 70 lumber the prop
osition is to place rough and unnan-
ufactured lumber on the free list. This
would include TINKER hewn or sawed,
squared. or sided, rough boards, shocks,
slaves. etc. There is considerable difference
of opinion between Morrison and Hewitt
what should be the rates on iron ores, pig
and scrap iron Mr.. Hewitt wants the ores
| TO be placed on the free list and prefers
that no reductions shall be made on pig iron
Iron ores now pay IS cents per ton. Less
than 500,0 900 tons of iron ores were imported
last year, and the duty yielded was about
S3l5. 600. This is comparatively

STORE!

There was man in our town, and he
was wondrous wise, for when he marked
his prices down, he then did advertise.
And when he saw his trade increase, with
all his might and main he marked still low
er every price and advertised again. And
when he advertised again it made his rivals
roar, to see the people rush to him and pat
ronize his store. And while they sat in
solitude and saw him custom win, that man
behind the counter stood and raked the
shekels in. And when he raked the shek
els in and saw his fortune rising, he took a
goodly lot of tin and kept on advertising.
Each day a generous sum he'd sink, and
demonstrate full plain, the more one paws
for printers ink. the greater is his gain.
