WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.--The new
Democratic tariff bill has been given out
to the public, and its provisions fulfill
every expectation of those who have
predicted that it would be a radical
measure. In many respects it is a sur
prise, even to the Democratic members
of congress, as it is unprecedented in
many of its provisions.
The free list is of that liberal scope
sufficient to satisfy the most radical adj
vocates of reform, and the reputation
of the principle of reciprocity, which has
been The pride of the Republicans and
the BITE noir of the Democrats for a
number of years, is
Decisive and Emphatic.
The United States tariff bill, in addition
to the reforms it makes in the customs
laws, will necessitate REIMBURSEMENT of
treaties with those South American
countries which enjoy practical or theo-
retical reciprocity with the great Amer
lean republic of the northern hemi-
sphere.
The bounty on sugar, which was to be
SO promptly repealed, is instead, to be
repealed by easy gradations, and will
not reach it's conclusive effect until after
the present century.
The committee met at II o'clock, and
after the roll call, Chairman Wilson at
once laid the bill before the entire COM
mittee. On and after March 1, 1884, the
