He Introduces a Number of
Tariff Reduction Bills.
SUBSTITUTES FOR OTHER BILLS.
lie Thinks Something Should Ne Done
This Session, and as Neither the House
Nor senate bills Cnn Pass He Proposes
to Cover tho Mos Imperatiyn Points.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 81 - Congressman
Brockinrdge, Of Arkansas, introduced sew
eral tariff redu stion bills ia the house They
plnce cotton bagsing, coal oil. petroleum and
cotton seed on the free list. One Of the bills
provides that distilled spirits Containing 50
pcr cent OF anhydrous alcohol shall pay
% cents internal rev anue tax per gallon,
and that alcohol containing "a per cent. OF
anhydrous alcohol shall pay sl9O per gallon;
provided that no change OF duty shall be
construed to apply to what is known as bev-
erage whisky.
Another bill affecting sugar tariffs pro-
vides that all sugar above No. 13, d. s., and
not above No. 10, d. s., shall pay 9 $500
cents a pound; above No l6 and not above
No 90 > 90 100 cents per pound, and above
No 20, . 1-lO0 cents per pound
Mr. Breckenridge, IN explaining the OBJ
iect Of these bills to a United Press repre-
sentative, said that he was aiming more at
the trust features than those of the revenue.
He hoped 20 destroy the monopoies and
trusts formed under the present tariff and
internal revenue laws. With that purpose
in view, and also the fact that there was no
prospect Of any legislation on tariff in this
congress by the passage Of either the Mills
OF the much talked OF senate bill, ho believed
something may be accomplished by specific
measures II have, in dealing with the
sugar question: said Mr.. Breckenridge,
confined my propositions 10 the tine sugar.
have protected the labor involved, and also
the legitimate interests OF the reiners and
dealers
have reduced the margin on the higher
grades Of sugar because ON those grades are
trusts formed, there being no opportunity to
form trust ON raw or unrenned sngar.
put bagging ON the free list till next March,
when the new crop comes in. The article
for consumption till that date is under con-
tract, and the contractors are protected by
their contract The result of this will be
that the trusts will be squeezed. Then give
free machinery Tor the manufacture OF jute.
The alcohol trust is the only one found iR
the distilling business.
'l have proposed a reduction which will
tend 20 break up the alcohol trusts, make
cheaper alcohol 20 the manufacturers and
artists, and at the same time afford ample
protection 10 distillers who must work
against the 10 cents gallon bounty given
by the German government
