The Mills tariff bill was reported Mon
day and ordered printed. Mr.. Mckinley
submitted the minority report of the com.
mttee severely reviewing the Mills bill,
and giving in outline the provisions the
minority proposes which will reduce the
revenue without disturbing business.
1t charges the majority with sectional
ism in that its bill reduces tariff on but
two articles of southern production, sugar
and rice, and those very slightly, while it
makes wholesale slaughter of everything
produced in the north and north north
west.
The report declares that the republican
party favors tariff reduction, but would
have this made only with due regard to
interests of manufactures, laboring men
and prod ucers generally, and after full
hearings of their opinions
1t states that although the democratic
party has had control of the House for
five years, and has made tariff reduction
its battle cry, it has passed no such bill,
while the republicans have rednced the
tariff over 5000 900 900 between 1869 and
1883. The action Of the majority in re-
gard to wool Is pointed to a direct 81 p
