Washington, Dec. 1.-THE revised
tariff bill was laid before the Ways and
Means committee this morning. The
most important change affects pearl
buttons and tin plate. The members
of the majority of the committee say
the changes made are mostly from ad
valorem to specific duties, where such
changes were necessary from business
standpoint.
The bill, this morning, was taken up
by the full committee by sections. and
the Republican members offered amend
ments to the bill from time to time
1t is the intention of the majority Of
the members to vote down all amend
ments offered by the Republicans. and
report the bill as soon as possible in
it's present revised condition. The COM
mittee reached the sugar schedule be-
fore adjournment. but no vote was
taken; neither was there any amend
ment offered.
1t is likely an amendment will be
offered tomorrow morning, but no
changes will be made.
The majority Of the members say the
bill as it now stands will be reported
to the House. 1t is expected the COM
nittee will be able to get through con-
sideration of the bill tomorrow, and it
will be reported to the House on We'd
nesday or Thursday.
During the discussion Of the bill,
Reed offered a resolution which re-
cited that as it was shown that under
the proposed bill the revenue would
be $1,000 900 short, it was desirable the
committee be informed in what way
this deficiency should be met
Wilson replied that this deficiency
would be made up by internal revenue
taxation. but that the schedules were
not yet complete
