10 this couh .ry. The committee thought of
pUtCsag heavy duty on raw silk to encour-
sse the industry in this country, it having
5tea demonstrated that the climate and
co 9itous in many parts of this country
ars adapted to the growth of cocoons.

Naid fol cOcoons raised in this country, and

iron, all OF which New England manufac-
turers want free, will be on the tree list.
ihe Massachusetts delegation in the House
are particularly dispeased with the bill.
Putting hides on the dutiable list has
greatly incenSed them. When the duty
was first put on hides they worked hard,
ana it was taken off. Now it is back again
and they are indignant.
Among the articles placed on the free list
are uncut diamonds and other precious
stones, fish which are the produce of Ameri-
can fisheries, and fish caught by American
vessels IN the open waters of the lakes
which form the boundary between the
United States and Canada, currants (Zante
and others, dates, fruits, green, ripe or
dried and not specially enumerated), opium,
crude or Gnmanutactured and not adul-
terated and continuing pei cent and over
of morphia.
Mr.. Van1ever said to-day in relation to
the Tariff Bill that he was considerably dis
appointed that the Committee on Ways and
Means had not seen lit TO fix the tariff on
fruit at higher average rate Among other
growers Mr.. Vandever appeared before
the Ways and Means Committee and in
short but decided statements asked that the
present tariff upon oranges should be in
creased. He is perfectly satifisd with the
tariff on other fruit as fixed by the Ways
and Means Committee, but feels that in
stead of 81 90 per thousand on oranges in
bulk, the DUTY should have been fixed at S5
per thousand, as in the present condition of
the tariff 1t is more than likely that the
growers Of Messina, Palermo and Havana
oranges will ship their entire crop of oranges
in bulk instead OF in packages
