4 HIGH ia RIFF BILL.

The Mckinley tariff bill has been
made public and though it effects a
reduction of $40, 900, 900 it is en-
phatically a high tariff bill as was
predicted. Sugar is cut one-half,
timber cut 80 per cent and sawed
white pine boards placed at 81 so.
A duty of Is per cent was placed on
hides despite the protests of New
England congressman. Senator Hoar
has promised that the Senate will
defeat the hide duty COttOns, wool
ems, carpets, raw wool, raw silk and
many other staple articles have been
protected heavier than before New
England iron manufacturers are ig-
nored, along with our wool and
leather interests, and coal, coke iron
ores and scrap iron and steel remain
where they are now. Chairman Nc
Kinley has produced bill that is
bid for Western votes but disappoints
the republicans in the East. No one
believes that in its present form it
will ever become law and those
who have been promised tariff reform
have been deluded.
