New Revenue Bill.
ITEMS ON THE FREE LIST.
Wool and SilYer-Lead Are Among th'
Number Proposed.
Lead Ore, Is Per Cent.-Susar Bounty l.
to Be Repealed by Easy Graduation
A Very Succinct Statement
by Chairman Wilson.

w u ~, NOV. zt.-IIS new
Democratic tariff bill is given out.
Its provisions fulfil every expectation
of those who predicted it would be a
measure of radical reform.
In many respects it is a surprise even
to Democrats, as it is unprecedented
in many provisions.
The free list is of liberal scope, and
sufficient to satisfy the most radical
advocates of reform, and the repudia-
ton of the principle of reciprocity is
decisive and emphatic
This bill, in addition to tariff reform,
Will. if passed. necessitate a readjust-
ment of the treaties with South Ameri-
can countries which enjoy practical, or
theoretical, reciprocity with the United
States.
The bounty on sugar, instead of being
repealed at once, is to be repealed by
easy gradations, and viii not reach its
full effect until after the close of the
present century.
