NEW TARIFF BILL.
IANY THINGS WILL BE FREE THAT
HASN'T BEEN.


fulfill every expectation of those who
have predicted that it would be radi-
cal measure Of the reform. In many
respects it is a surprise even to the
Democratic members of congress, as it
is unprecedented in many of its pro-
visions.
The free list is of that liberal scope
sufficient to satify the most radical ad-
vocates of reform and the republication
of the principle of reciprocity, which
has been the pride of the Republicans
and the betenoir OF the Democrats for q
number of years is
Decisive and Emphatic.
Thus, the tariff bill, in addition to the
reforms it makes in the customs laws,
will necessitate immediate readjust-
ment of treaties with those South
American countries which enjoy practi-
cal or theoretical reciprocity with the
great American republic of the north
ern hemisphere.
The bounty on sugar which was to
be so promptly repealed is, instead to
be repealed by easy gradations and
will not reach its conclusive effect un-
til after the end of the present century.
