Congressman Isrysn's Summary.

CougreSsm0n bfyon'e summary.
The following summary of the bill has been
prepared by Representative Bryan Of Ne
braska:
''The bill just completed puts wool, coal
lumber, salt and iron ore on the free list and
reduces the tariff ON sugar from 16 to N OF Q
cent per pound; Ii also provides for the exter-
minatioh of the bounty by degrees. AS q ruls
the tariff has been made lowest upon the
cheaper goods of necessary use and left high,
est upon the more expensive articles The
wool schedule WILL perhaps, attract most AZ
tention. We have left no duty higher than 1
per cent on manufactures OF wool, and that
only on ready made garments, the average
being less than 40 per cent. The cheaper quail
tiles of blankets and fannels are only taxed
d per cent. and the lower grades of carpets
enly 20.
1--WE have also applied gradual reduction
10 the wooden schedule, 80 that at the end of
Eve years the highest duty will be 40 and the
average near % per cent. Very material re-
ductions have been made on the cotton sched-
ule. We have placed iron ore on the free list,
and made large cut all along the metal
schedule. The duty ON steel rails is reduced
more than 30 per cent Free lumber will be .
great benefit to the people of the prairie statea
and free salt will give to those who need said
for their cattle OF for curing meat tho Same
advantage which has been secured heretofore
by means Of rebate TO those who have CURED

placed upon the free list In order to enable The
farmer to better compete In foreign maikets

Chairman Wilson's Summary OF the Bill

OnalTuan VhsoH Oh tne DiIks
Mr.. Wilson, chairman of the committees,
gives the main features of the bill as follows:
"First-The adoption, wherever II seemed
practicable, Of ad valorem instead Of specific
duties.
"Second-The freeing from taxes Of those
great materials of industry that lie at the bash
of production. Specific rates of duty are OBJ
jectionable for these reasons: They frequently
conceal q rate Of taxation too enormous to b
submitted to IL expressed in ad valorem terms.
as the duty Of cents on 100 pounds on salt In
bulk, which amounts TO over 10 per cent on .
common necessity Of life. They always bear
heavily on the common article used by tho
masses and lightly by the expensive articis
consumed by the rich, as q tax of $50 ON all
houses would be little or nothing on the great
mansion and very high on the humble home.
And, contrary to common belief, specific
duties lead to greater frauds in administration,
for counting and weighing at the custom houSs
are done by the cheapest and most easily COR
rupted labor, while ad valorem rates are as
sessed by the best paid and most responsible
appraisers The ad valorem system has worked
we'll in practice, is essentially the fair system.
because 1t is q tax upon the actual value of an
article and was declared by Mr.. Clay himsek
TO be in theory and according to every sound
principle of justice entitled to the preferepcs
and vindicated by long trial"
