REDUCING FORCE or THE PRES
EMIT TARIFF SCHEDULE.

III Reduces the Volume of Tariff Duties
Nearly s1O.OOO,OOO, and Adds More Than
sos, 100000 OF Imports to tIae Free
List--A Measure for Reduction without
M Injury Co PROJECTIONS.
The reducing force of the new tariff
bill becomes very plain upon even an i'm
perfect analysis. In the gross it reduces
the volume. of tariff duties by between
$50 900, 900 and SIC, 900. 900. and adds i'm
ports OF q yearly value of more than
$lO9, 900, 900 to the free list. Such bill
can not be, as the democrats would have
ii, an act to prohibit foreign trade. The
most eursory examination proves it to be
a measure for reduction of tariff without
injury to home. industries. The Mills
bill was q measure to reduce the tariff at
the expense OF home industries.
The new bill Is divided into fourteen
schedules, designated by letters; to these
ii added the free list, of which latter it
is enough to say that it Is largely in
creased in the number of articles upon
it, and enhanced in value to the extent
of nearly $110, 0O0,0 900.
Il Schedule A comprises oils, paints
chemicals and drugs; it deals with about
fifty articles, eighteen of which are made

subject to reduced duties. So that
nearly one-third of all the articles in this
schedule come in under lower duties than
were fixed by the old law.
Schedule 3 deals with glass and earth
enware, and with certain manufactures
of rock. The chief feature of this sched-
ule in the new bill is the conversion of
the old ad yalorem duties to specific
rates. Of the articles not so converted
most are left standing at old rates. Burr
stone for millers are reduced, and one or
two increased rates are observable in the
case of weak manufactures. But, on the
whole, this schedule is not greatly
changed from its counterpart in the old
law.
Schedule c deals with metals and their
manufactures. 1t contains about $50
articles, forty-nine of which are reduced
in duty by the new law. So that nearly
one-third of schedule is marked by re-
duction.
Schedule ID treats of wool and it's man.
ufactures. It's list is made up of nine
teen articles, eight of which undergo re-
duction of duties. Thus, more than a
third of schedule d is in evidence as to
the reducing force of the new bill.
Schedule E treats of sugar. 1t is a
perfect mass of reduction, a reduction
which in the case of low grade sugars
amounts to freedom from any duty.
Schedule f treats of tobacco as an
agricultural product; it gives an in
creased rate of duty generally, to the
benefit of the farmers who grow tobacco,
and to the confusion of the democrats
who said in 1883 that it was republican
policy to make whisky and tobacco free. "
Schedule G is a very long one, and
comprises agricultural products, animals,
meats, fruits, grain, and things manu-
featured from grain, liquors excepted

eight farm products, reduces the duties
on starch, on ground spices, and on

democrats suffer discontinue. The re

Schedule / is made up of cotton man
ufactures. 1t "omprises-forty-n ar
ticles, of which seven are made subject
to reduction. So one-seventh of all the
cotton products are cheapened.
Schedule j treats of jute, hemp, fax

articles on its list; six of them, or one
fifth of the whole, undergo reduction.
Schedule X deals with wool and it:

The question is not yet settled beyond
a peradventure as to what the prevail
ing styles in gowns will be. There are
rumors that a little more bouffancy will
be given to the skirts of summer gowns,
and some OF the latest importations
show the hip paniers of decade ago.
Sleeves will be more moderate in their
proportions and palmer in their out
lines, modified, reduced gigot being
most favored.
1t is rumored also that side forms in
the back will run to the shoulder in
stead of the arm Scie and in line of
darts, there will be one seam in front
also running to the shoulder. Bodice
seams will oe corded again on dit.
Ruffies will appear in various widths,
sometimes arranged in groups up the
front.
Mauve and amethyst shades are eX-
ceedingly fashionable, both intulle and
light textures. Black is always fash
ionable, and many gowns have col
ored front, which is edged with flowers
or ruche OF the color, and the color is
repeated as trimmings for the neck and
sleeves-a fashion which has much to
recommend it, since the dress is COM
pletely altered by the substitution of a
different color.

his room over night-StraWber or
grapes by preference, oranges and other
fruits in their season. From s to $3.50
