Phladelpha, Sept. IL Special" The Bulletin Of
the American Iron and Steel Association, Issued to-
day, speaking Of Mr.. Mills and his free-trade BILL
says:

principles Of tariff system Mr.. Nils says that his
bill would reduce large surplus reyenus from customs
BY $50 OoO and hood wink the body OF
people believe IN adequate protection 70 home
Industry be declares that his bill would reduce duties

Mr.. Mnlss dupllcty may b. exposed IN another way.
totally suppresses the fact that having made large
additions by his bill from the present dutiable list to
the list the present duabe list is Affected by the
articles made free OF duty well by the articles
which the duty Is simply reduced The foreign value
Of dutable articles imported in the fiscal 1887
was $3.50 3 and the duty collected 1912 O32 424
making the average ad valorem dutiabie articles
A. per BY reducing the rates some Of these
articles and making others wholly free OF duty, Mr.
Mills RENTS duties amounting In the aggregate, as he
states to 500 SOL 696 Hence the rate OK duty
on articles which are desirable would be reduced
by his bill from 4710 per 10 1854 per cent, which
IS reduction " nearly one-tourth, or
Of nearly "a per cent What protection
would this average rate afford manufacturers and
workingmen against foreign competition while in
nearly all industries from so to 100 per
cent higher the paid in similar Industries
abroad and when It is well that about so per
