 WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-Chairman Wilson of the committee on ways and means has issued a statement Tn regard to the tariff bill, the gist of which is in the following introductory paragraph:
 The democratic members of the con- nittee have felt, as 20 others could feel. the momentous responsibility resting | upon them and the magnitude, difficulty | and delicacy of the duty assigned them | of framing a tariff bill for a nation of 70,000,000 people. The bill they were called on to reform is vast labyrinth inc system of taxation, culmination of thirty years control of taxing power of few interests gathering into their train the most of petty toll gathering. It was carefully framed to prevent, as ong as possible, what it's author calls 'monkeying with the tariff" by which be meant any successful effort of the people to undo or lessen the bouDties which its beneficiaries were permitted % write therein in their own words and igures. It transferred to the free list proper and fruitful revenue articles, where most of taxes which were paid y the people went into private coffers. It is Solstered about by many defenses, thief among which are the swept and ,arnished treasury and the swollen and colossal scale of permanent expendi- ures. Such are the conditions that confront us at the outset of our york.
 The committee has welcomed infor nation and counsel from every trust 7orthy source, and while they do not xpect their bill to escape just criticism D all of it's details, they do present it 0 the country as the result of months If patient, anxious toll and of an honest esire to discharge their duty, purged f all taint of local and personal fovor- tism or prejudice. Its main features re two: First. Adoption, wherever seemed practicable, of ad valorem lstead of specific duties. Second. 'reeing from taxes of those great ma srials of industries that lie at the asing of production.
