PRINCIPAL SCHEDULES FROM 1889
CAREFULLY EXAMINED.

Changes Proposed by the Mills Bill.
copyrighted by the American Press Association
The following compilation presents a COM
parison of tariffs from 1889 to the present
upon those articles the duties upon which
would be affected by the Mills bill were it to
become a law. Limitations as to space, how
ever, have made it possible to show the most
notable changes only. The items are CLASH
fed alphabetically, the nomenclature of the
Mills bill being observed so far as has been
found practicable. The first date given In
dictates the year the article under considera-
ton was first placed on the schedule, the
next date the first change of note, etc.
In every case, however, the rate of the
schedule Of 1883, now in force, and referred
to here as 1885," is given just before the fig
tires proposed by the Mills bill. In the mat
ter Of such articles as wool, iron, sugar, etc,
it has been thought better to give one short
explanatory paragraph than to attempt to
give the schedules in full. In fact, this would
he impossible, as a comparison of the schedules
on wool alone would quite fill this page. The
letters ''n. o. p. f." stand for mot otherwise
provided for" Here are the figures:
