THE Mills bill, as originally drawn, closely
followed the tariff reform lines drawn by
President Cleveland in his December mes
sage. Its principal feature was the long
free list which included wool, lumber, salt
coal, and many other raw materials entering
into the process of American manufacture.
This list has been shortened somewhat as
result of the long debate and for strategic
reasons. but it still embraces many impor-
tant raw products and involves reduction
of about $1,000, 900 in the revenues. The
minor features OF the bill provide for reduc-
ton of the rates on certain manufactured
goods, including woolens, cottons, iron,
glass; chemicals, pottery manufactures OF
wood, etc, the whole involving a rev
enue reduction of something Ike S90O0),0O0.
The present average tariff rate on imports is
a per ce mt. The Mills bill provides for
reduction OF the average TO about - per cent.
In addition TO the reduction OF import taxes,
o modification OF the internal revenue
taxes is made. The tax on spirits is not
touched. but the tax on tobacco, except IN the
shape OF cigars, cigarettes and cheroots is re-
moved. Thc.total reduction OF the revenue pro
