Clothing Well Protected.
There is likewise a well accredited fore
cast as to the schedule which includes
women's and children's dress goods, on
which, with coat Innings, Italian cloths and
goods of similar character, the warp Of
which is cotton or other vegetable matter,
the value not exceeding 10 cents per square

etc, 40 per cent; on common carpets, which
were taxed 80 per cent in the Springer bill,
the duty in this tariff bill will be about 35
per cent, and on some of the finer grades Of
carpets, all Of which were taxed 40 per

bill Is somewhat less. The cutin the linen

comparatively light and the cut in the cot

smaller figure, representing a tariff of 4C

at their present low price Of SO Rails
will be one of the few articles upon which
a specific duty will be retained. Pig iron
win probably be put at per cent while
bar iron will be reduced about so pei

Of cotton will be 40 per cent This will in

duties ranging as high as - per cent. anC
the classifcations of different grades o.

materials on the free list.
The compound duty on collars and cuffs

left but the ad valorem rate of 30 or 40 pc

rates Of 60 per cent and 50 per cent
