THE NEW TARIFF BILL.
FULL TEXT OF THE BILL SUBMITTED
BY TIE MAJosIrY.
IL Is Bold Exposition Of the ideas Express
ed BY the National Democracy in
Its Platform and During
the Campaign.

Democratic tariff bill was given out t,
The public today, and its provision
1ulf1ll every expectation of these wht
predicted it would be radical mea
sure of reform. In many respects it il
surprise even to Democratic mem
bers, as it is unprecedented in many Of
its provisions. The free list is suf1i-
cient to satisfy the most radical advo
Gates OF reform, and in its reputation
OF the principle of reciprocity. 1t is a
decisive and emphatic bill. In addi-
tlon to reforms it makes in the custom
laws it will necessitate an immediate
readjustment of treaties with those
South American countries which en-.
JOY practical or theoretical reciprocity
with the ULited States.
