will also be substantially the report of the

card waste, bur waste and flocks, including
all waste or rags composed wholly or in
part of wool; worsted or hair of the camel,
goat, etc, valued at not more than so cents

is the ad valorem rate under the present

ufactures of every description made wholly

blankets and hats of wool, etc, valued at
not more than 80 cents per pound, the duty

Clothing Well Protected.
There is likewise we'll accredited fore
cast as to the schedule which includes
women's and children's dress goods, on
which, with coat Innings, Italian cloths and
goods of similar character the-warp of
which is cotton or other vegetable matter,
the value not exceeding 10 cents per square
yard, duty of IS cents is placed. On wom-
ems and children's dress goods, wholly or
in part wool, worsted, etc, the duty is fixed
at 40 per cent. On clothing ready made
and articles of wearing apparel duty of IS
( per cent is placed. On cloaks dolmans,
jackets, etc, for ladies and children a duty
| of As per cent; on webbing, suspenders,
boiling, binding, braids, galloons, fringes,
| etc, 40 per cent; on common carpets, which
were taxed 30 per cent in the Springer bill,
the duty in this tariff bill will be about 81
per cent, and ON some of the finer grades OF
carpets, all of which were taxed 40 per
cent in the Springer bill, the duty in this
bill is somewhat less. The cut in the linen
| schedule is quite heavy; that on silk is
| comparatively light and the cut in the cot
ton schedule is nothing like as great as the
! cut in wool.
The best information is that steel rails
| will probably be put at IS or 80 ton, a
smaller figure, representing a tariff of &C
per cent ad valorem while rails are selling
J
will be one of the few articles upon which
u specific duty will be retained. Pig iron
will probably he put at > per cent, while
! bar iron will be reduced about so per
/ cent. The rate ON nearly all manufactures
of cotton will be 40 per cent. This will in
clude hosiery, which now pays compound
duties ranging as high as - per cent. and
the classifcations of different grades OF
goods will be abandoned. Manufactures
IoH Aox h,,, Al
duced in view of the placing of the raw
materials on the free list
The compound duty on collars and cuffs
it is said, will be abandoned, and nothing
left but the ad valorem rate of 35 or 40 pei
cent. The chinaware schedules will prob
ably be reduced 10 per cent on the existing
rates of 90 per cent and SIS per cent.
The Mckinley bill restored the duty OF
coverings, which are large element in the
cost of chinaware, and practically made the
increase in duty much greater than the ap
parent change in the adj valorem rate.
The bill will show the following change.
in the sugar schedule: The duty on refined
sugar is reduced from = to \ of a cent
pound Raw sugar remains free of tax
The Mckinley bounty is repealed progress
sively-that is, one-eighth each year, 81
hat at the end of eight years it is to ceas'
entirely.
