CONGRESSMAN NELSON, of Minnesota,
a Republican who has been classed as a
free-trader by the Democrats, has prepar-
ed bill for the revision of the tariff. 1t
places sugar, molasses, coal, salt, wood,
hemp, jute, MANILA, sisal grass and lum-
Der on the free list. This would, Oh the
basis Of last years imports, reduce the
revenue over $62,O0O,000. This amount,
with the repeal of the tax on distilled
spirits used in the arts, would wipe out
the surplus without interfering with any
important American industry. The bill
shows that Mr.. Nelson is not a free-trader,
but consistent Republican and sup
porter OF the policy of protecting Amer
lean industries.
