IN Fridays DEMOCRAT appeared
quite a full report of the new tariff bill.
NJ. C's. are busy studying it and are
reticent. OF course partisan Repub.
icans are howling; advanced tariff
reformers are delighted and conserva-
tive members are reserving their
opinions,
Chairman Mills says:
"There are two OF three hundred
articles on which the duty IS to be
removed. A large number of these
articles thus placed on the free list are
of minor Importance and the change
can in no wise affect our industries, and
where acountry charges an import duty
upon any of the articles named, the
present duty will remain. The princi-
pal items are lumber and salt. AS to
some OF the articles placed on the
free list, the result will be 70
break up a few Of tne Numerous
trusts now forming in the
country. Copper ore is an instance.
"The total amount of reduction that
will arise from the extension of the free
list will be something like S22,00O,OO0.
The reduction on wool and wooen
goods will amount in round numbers
to about $l200OO00.' Where specific
duty was charged before. we have
changed it on a number of manufac'
tured articles to au ad volorem stand
ard.
"On sugar reduction is made Of
Sll,00000O. One result of this will be
to break up the infamous sugar trusts
that have formed for the purpose Of i'll
creasing the price of that article.
"The reductions on iron, steel rails,
ETC., are small, and think the importa
tions of such articles will not be mate
rally increased. Iron in pig is put at
Sj per ton The reduction made is
only Y cents.
"On imported tobacco, in leaf, manu-.
factured and not Stemmed, we have
ike. the duty at 35 cents per pound.
Sumatra is included. When the duty
on Sumatra was 81 per pound good
deal of it was smuggled, and the reYe-
nue. was thereby lost to the government.
ION some of the articles on which we
have reduced the duty the revenue will
be increased, while on others it will be
IGuuctu. ISL we IldNC llOG JOlNCHGO
That question has always caused
trouble between this country and Cana.
da, and involves disputes that we don
cue to encourage. We have purposely
left the internal revenue question out
side, and will bring in separate meas
ure for that
The estimated revenue reduction eff
fected is S55,0OO,0O0: but there must be
deducted the direct increase caused by
the repeal of the sugar rebates, and the
prevention of the packing and cover
ing" evasion of duties. The net de-
crease will be about S35 100000 With
out endeavOring to settle whether the
decrease of duties in any instance will
cause increased importations, the re-
peal of the rebate upon exported sugars
which enabled rehners to make i'm
mense profits, will produce S6.000OO0
revenue. The Obertonfer supreme
court case, which so construed the
tariff law as to enable importers to
bring cheap goods in very valuable but
coverings, is provided against,
and $10,000,O00 more revenue is thus
obtained.
The impending internal revenue bill
will reduce the revenues $20,000,000,
and will be OH tobacco. The two bills
will thus bring the revenues down to
the desired point.

CINCINNATI Enquirer: Of all the
innumerable Outcries that will break
forth over the Mills tariff bill, one of
the most vociferous and most prolong-
ed will have its origin in the clause
placing upon the free list iron and
steel cotton-ties, or hoops used for bail
ing purposes" This clause, if adopted,
will again permit our cotton to compete
with that of India in the European
markets and relieve great American
industry of a tax that was running it.
But what do the American manufac-
turers of cOtton-ties care for that? All
they want is to be protected"

NEAR three hundred years ago Will

Shakespeare must have been familiar
with courts of law and their working

would seem, too, that these instruments
of justice in his day were not more sat

Grand iuries at that time indicted

so doing; and petit juries found inno-

measure any worse than she did under

"The very thought" of that tramp

not be acceptable to those who believe
in the policy of plunder, and desire to
continue the same.
The milliOnaire-monOpoly monstros-

THERE is no doubt that the Demo
cratic party is in much better shape
than the Republican party.
The tariff question is a more disturb
ing matter in the Republican than in
the Democratic party.
AS to a Presidential candidate the
Democracy will have no contest, while
the Republicans are all at sea and are
likely to have a serious squabble. The
Democrats are in high spirits and har-
mOnious, while Republicans are en-
barraSsed.

IN MEMORY OF LOTTIE.
Twas In February, damp and dreary,
That Friend LOttie passed away;
Alas we cannot count the hours
Since that unhappy day
Down through the gathering sadness
Did the tones OF a seraph come,
Whilst the light of heaven shone round her,
And called her to her home
Then we heard the mo,rnfuI message
Pnat our early friend had passed
,.., Deaths portals and had entered
Heavens harbor safe at last, e,
She was called away from trouble,
And this life so full Of care,
10 rest not known 10 mOrtals,
And she must be happy there.
Sad and lonely Is her hearth stone;
Death has made an empty chair;
Hearts now filled with grief unspOken
Mourn for her who is not there.
She has left q lingering sadness
Round that little earthly fold,
But its dark and sOmOre lining
Now Is tinged with brightest gold
She Is gone, but not forgotten
by her many friends of earth,
For her name we fOndly cherish
As we meet around the hearth.
Long in memOry's chain unbrOken
Gded with affection pure,
win each loving word and token
Help us life's Ills to endure.
Angel Lottie now Is sleeping
In her long, last quiet rest
And no sigh OF ours, or weeping,
Fer will harm her pulseless breast
She went early to her sumbeT,
But we hope that 1.-THE last
Friends and Husband all will meet her
When the night Of life is past.
A FRIEND.
