The ADMINISTRATION TARIFF BILL,
This bill. which Speaker Carlisle
expects to introduce in the House.
.contemplates "a reduction Of sixty
two millions of revenue from Gus.

portations." OF this amount fifty
millions is to come from reductions
OF duties chiefly on manufactures, and
twelve millions from adding wool,
salt. lumber, coal. vegetable fibres.
&C., TO the Fl @ list. Taking into
consideration the fact tina, some OF

lions TO the revenue, il is snid 10 he
The opinion OF experts that "tbe prob.
able actual decrease in next years
revenue will be from forty 10 fifty
millions Of revenue if not more"
The process by which reductions on
existing customs duties are TO be III abe
is 10 cut down the highest rates now
imposed, to equalize existing inc
qualities, and to substitute, wherever
IL may be deemed advisable, specific
for ad valorem rates. The proposed
reductions are to be made in certain
chemicals. on forms of ear,hen and
glassware, on iron, steel and cotton
fabrics with specific instead of ad
valorem duties on silks, gloves and
embroideries, the object being TO 81 m =.

searched the records the Morris County Court House
for sixty years back and found that Mr. Smiths title
was all right. He found tho record OF small mort
gage on tho farm, but no had been told Of its ex-
istence by Mr.. Smith. The judgment record OF the
Circuit Court OF the county showed there were no
judgments against Mr.. Smith, In order to COM

Of the Supreme Court OF tho State at Trenton asking
him TO have search made Of the records OF his Office
and send him q list Of all tho judgments recorded
against John Smith.
In about q week Counsellor lyon received bulky

WASHINGTON, March SIN reply TO request
for his opinion of the Dark Lantern" bill to-day
Henry Cabot Lodge said: Il have not had time
TO give more than most cursory examination to
the measure and indeed only experts cOnld speak
the precise effect of each provision of the Mills
bill Still there are some general features which
are apparent at a glance. Tho avowed object of
the bill is to REFUGE the revenue and yet duties are
lowered on a large number OF articles which. with
the exception Of sugar would from this lowering
increase IN the amount imported, and thereby in-
crease the revenue SO as to Dullfy ali effect
from the reduced duties and not improbably coun-
terbalance to some degree the actual reduction
proposed in the flee list. Moreover, no change Is
proposed la Internal Revenue wheIe an immediate
reduction OF revenue might most readily be mace.
he fact is the Ii justities fully the charge
thai nc cry for reduction OF revenue with the
De Ocratic party as now controlled is merely
cover for assault upon the protection pruciple
III the taritf, and not genuine effort for the re-
mOyal OF surplus, such as the Republicans desre
to bring about. The utier iDsincerlty of the bill IL
still further shown by comDarisDn of somc OF
the proD0sed changes with those omitted. Copper
ore Is III iced upon he Tree lst but iron ore is not
lOuched, while manu- aci uIed iron, REPRESENTING
Just 80 much more labor III production, IS seriously
attacked. The profound sympathy of reetrade
leaders and the tree-trada press for tie tOliing
masses burdened with tariff taxes has OF lale been
very touching and must have appealed TO every
feeling heart; yet. when tn; bil appears, 1t is
found that wool made free but that coal is nJ:
allu ed to IN any way. A reduction OF only some
20 per cent IL made the duties SUGAR, neces-
saIy artlc c O. universal Consumption.
Tne DOilllcai reasons Tor these giaring 1nc0n-
arc obvious enough but they look strange
when con srasted with the promises so freely made
