The Tariff Bill.
Fiom Han .er's Weekly.

The tar.n bill reported by the Com
mittee on Ways and Means is in one sense
a moderate measure: in another s,nse, a
radical measure. Compared with The
tariffs under which we lived and prosper
ed for many years before the civil war,
il leaves us still with very high degree
of protection. Compared with the tariff
of countries like France and Germany
in which there has been of late years so
distinct a revival of protec ion. 1t IS also
strongly protec,iouist measure. Com
pared with the completely non-protective
tariff of England, its duties ara immoder-
ately high. But compared with the Nc
Kinley tariff act, it is IN one respect at
least, a radical measure. 1t drops the
policy of indiscriminate protection. 1t
rests on the principle that, after all,
there are some things which the country
is capable of producing, but which 1t VIII
nevertheless permit to be freely imported
SO far as the great mass of manufactured
commodities is concerned, the changes in
duty are not incisive; but the free admls-
sion of some important raw materials
marks a radical change IN policy.
Far aad away the most important OF
these changes is that by which raw wool
is to be admitted free of duty. For thirty
years we have been imposing heavy
duties on any aud every quality OF woo J.
and we have bsen promised by domestic
wool-growers, or at least by their spokes-
men in politics, that they would be able
to supply all the wool of every quality
that the country wanted. They have
never done 50 in fact, conditions of soil
and climate make it impossible that they
should do so. They furnish us with an
abund ant and sufficiently cheap supply
of wools of medium quality. But they
are not able to produce fine " ooIs in any
quantity, and they do not fnd it worth
while to produce very coarse wool at all
Under these circumstances the bill wisely
puts wool upon the free list, and so gives
the American people the benefit OF the
fine quality of Australian wool and of Il
extreme cheapness Of the coarse wool OF
Russia and East India.
The free admission of wool IS the most
important political change in the bill
For many yeara the duty on wool has
been made to do tervice in States like
Ohio and Michigan as bringing to the
farmer his share of the benefits of pro.
lection. 1t required the courage of Presi-
dent Cleveland to face the situation bold
ly, and to declare for free wool even
though OHIO was doubtful State. This
he did in his message, now passed into
history, of December, l,S7, when he took
that u1hinching attitude on the ta'if
question which has brought his party to
the position in which it now is. Ii there
is any one part OF their programme TO
which the Democrats are committed 1t
is the free admission of wool; and this
part Of the bill may be expected to reach
the stage Of enactment if any part OF II
does. Once made, the change unqnes-
tionably will be found a beneficial one.
tt great mass of the wool-growers Will
find themselves injured to no appreciate
degree; the manufacturers will have
their material cheaper; aid the con-
sinners will have better and cheaper
clothes.
