yer certificate which was recently dis
covered is thus described by the New
York EUeajng Post; 1.-The face wears a
good appearance and is calculated to
deceive the ordinary money handler,
except that the vignette of Grant is
poorly done. The back of the bill is
also badly printed. The color is of a

the genuine bills, and the printing is
blotchy in appearance, so that the most
careless observer could scarcely fail to
notice it, Its thought these bills are

THE Mills bill, as originally drawn, closely
followed the tariff reform lines drawn by
President Cleveland in his December mes
sage Its principal feature was the long
free list, which included WOOL lumber, salt,
coal, and many other raw materials entering
into the process of American manufacture.
This list has been shortened somewhat as
result of the long debate and for strategic
reasons, but it still embraces many inpor-
tant raw products and involves reduction
of about S20,000,0O0 in the revenues The
minor features of the bill provide for reduc.
ton OF the rates on certain manufactured
goods, including woolens, cottons, iron,
glass, chemicals, pottery, manufactures of
wood, etc, the whole involving a rev.
enue reduction of something Ike S30000,0O0.
The present average tariff rate on imports is
az per ce mt. The Mills bill provides for
reduction of the average to about 40 per cent
In addition to the reduction of import taxes,
a modification of the internal revenue
taxes is made. The tax on spirits is not
touched, but the tax on tobacco, except in the
shape of CIGARS cigarettes and cheroots is re-
moved. The total reduction of the revenue pro
ylded for by this bill will probably reach s75.
0OO900, if imports do not increase
