WILSON'S NEW 1 L
The Free List as Reported by the Tariff
Refor niers.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-The new
Democratic tariff bill was given out
today. Its provisions fulfill every ex-
pectation of those who predicted that
it would be q measure of radical re-
form. In many respects it is a sur
prise even to Democrats, as it is un-
p~recedented in many provisions. The
free list is of liberal scope, sufficient
to satisfy the most radical advocates
of reform, and the reputation of the
principle OF reciprocity is decisive and
emphatic. Thus the bill, in addition
to tariff reforms, will, if passed,
necessitate a readjustment of treaties
with the South American countries,
which enjoy practical or theoretical
reciprocity with the United States.
The bounty on sugar, instead OF being
repealed at nee, will be repealed by
easy gradations, and will not reach
full effect until after the close of the
present century.

lowing articles will be added to the
