WILL NOT PREPARE A TARIFF BILL.

Secretary Carlisle VIII Merely Submit Sta
tistfcs-The Reform Club Measure
WASHINGTON, March 23.-Secretary Car
Isle. 1t 10 stated on good authority. in no
sense intends To prepare tariff bill 10 de-
tail to be submitted TO the ways and means
committee OF tho next House. but rather
to be in position TO give them all the az
sistance and information that they may
need in the preparation of q tariff bill that
will carry out in its word and intent. the
spirit of the tariff plank in the Democratic
platform. The general outlook Of the New
York reform tariff proposition corresponds
closely to q proposition submitted in 1885
by Edward Atkinson. of Boston. Mass. to
President Cleveland and Secretary Man
ming. That proposition divided the tariff
as follows:
A-Arficles of food and animals.
B-Articles in crude condition which enter
the various processes of domestic industry.
for use as materials In the manufactures and
mechanical arts.
D-Articles manufactured ready for consump-
ton.
E-Articles of voluntary use Injuries. etc.
Since that time the annual report of the
Bureau of Statistics has contained table
showing the duty collected on each of these
classes of articles. From this report of
1892 1t appears that S173.O97.67O duty was
collected, of which Sl0.3JO22j Was col
lected under class A, S1404S, 42S under class
