bly, the direct drive at American labor.
The Mills bill is full OF such freaks Of
Free Trade craftsmanship.
When the Mills bill comes to deal with
those products which are peculiarly
Southern, it makes no such biunders,
for Mr.. Mills and his colleagues are look
ing well to the Southern Democratic
vote. The greatest reduction on sugar
is % per cent. Rice, which is protected
by duty of more than 100 per cent OF
its value, is cut but 10 per cent. Why
sugar and rice should be so well cared
for and wool stripped Of every cent OF
its protection, no Free Trader has ex-
planned or can explain except by admit
ting that his party is looking after the
votes OF the rice and sugar planters
The table of comparative duties will
well repay n study. The observing eye
will easily multiply almost indefinitely
the illustrations which the iNTELmGEN'
GER has suggested to show the enormous
reductions and unfair determinations
against certain industries. 1t is moi
claimed that the present tariff is perfect
but the shrewdest may be challenged tt
point out in it any such monstrosities ~
we have shown in the Mills bill.

Actual Percentages of Reduction by the
Mills iii.


Actual Percentages of Reduction by tho
Mills iii.
Mr.. Mills, in supporting his bill in
the House OF Representatives and on
the stump, and nil who advocate his
bill, are at great pains to show how
small m average reduction is made by
that measure. Mr.. Mills insists that the
reduction would be Si.9i on every Si00
OF imports.
The iNTELI1GENcEE has already point
ed out, from the columns OF the Wheel
ing Register, some OF the freaks OF the
Democratic arithmetic man. For ex-
ample, the Register declared that the
reduction on wool is but 10 per cent
in the face Of the fact that the average
percentage OF duty on wool imported
lust year was So per cent-and the Mills
bill wipes out every penny OF the duty
by placing wool on the free list. That
is to say, the Mills bill takes from wool
all the duty there is on it. Now, nil Of
anything is just 100 per cent of it. The
wool reduction is therefore properly
placed at 100 per cent. The same is
true of salt and lumber.
In the accompanying comparative
table OF Mills bill rates, present tariff
rates and percentages Of reduction, APP
pears great deal OF this kind OF mod
crate tariff reduction" Take Il few illus.
tratiOns Of reductions us easily under,
stood us the wool reduction. Under the
present tariff castor beans are dutiabie
ut 10 cents per pound. The Mills bill
reduces the duty to cents per pound.
Five is Just one-half Of 10, and one-half
OF anything is 80 per cent OF it the world
over. This being specific duty the per-
centage OF reduction cannot be juggled
to deceive the least informed.
The Free Trade arithmetic man has Il
better chance to deceive when he deals
with I'D valorem duties, being such us
relate to the value only and do not
touch the quantity. On white granite,
common ware, plain white or cream
colorcd, lustered or printed under glaze
in single color, spouged, dipped or
edged ware, the present tariff is % per
cent. This is the ware in which our
growing Wheeling pottery industry is
most concerned, and the Mills bill pro-
poses to reduce it to 81 per cent. The
advocates OF the Mills bill maintain that
the reduction is so small us to be ''of no
consequence" The reduction is really
SO per cent, for the cut is $50 on every
500 OF the ware imported. The finest
grades OF carthen ware, being articles
mainly ornamental and not largely
bought by people who work for day
wages, are much less reduced, one grade
being cut only 10 per cent and the next
~ per cent. The commonest earthen
ware is cut GA per cent.
Sheet iron is reduced nine per cent,
but when it is coated with little tin,
and becomes the thing commercially
known as tin plate, the Mills bill admits
it free OF duty. Iron workers under.
stand what isproposed in this particular,
but it is difficult to get anybody else to
comprehend that sane men and Ameri-
cans actually propose to admit free
sheets OF iron coated with tin, when the
sheets not coated must pay one cent per !
