The Tariff.

The Tariff.
WAslIlNGroN, Nov. 27.-The new
Democratic tariff bill was given ont
to the public this morning, and ITS
provisions fill every expectation OF
those who have predicted that it
would be a radical measure OF reform.
In many respects it is q surprise even
to the Democratic members OF Con
srcss, and it is unprecedented III
many Of its provisions.
The free list is of that liberia scope
sufficient to satisfy the most radical
advocates of reform, anil the rcpudl-
alton Of the princi pies of reciprocity
which has been the pride of the Re
publicans and the benc noir OF the
democrats for number of years, is
decisive and emphatic. Thus, the
tariff bill, in addition to the reforms
it makes in the custom laws, will
neccssitatc immediate reimbursement
of treaties with those South Anerl-
can countries which enjoy practical
or theoretical reciprocity with the
great American republic OF the North
crn hemisphere
The bounty on sugar which was
to be so promptly repealed, is, IN
stead, to be repealed by easy Sradua-
tons, and will not reach its conciu-
sivc effect until after the end OF the
present century.
