THE TARIFF BILL.
Wood, Coal, Lumber, Salt and
Iron Ore,
ON THE FREE LIST.
TIE SUGAR BOUNTY TO BE GRAZ UALLY
REDUCED.

WASHINGTON, D. c. Noy. 27.-The new
Democratic tariff bill was given to the
public today and lis provisions fulfil
every expectation of those who predicted
a radical reform. In many respects, it is
a surprise even to the Democratic mem
bers of Congress, as 1t is Unprecedented
IN many of Ks provisions and to a great
extent doctrinaiIe in some matters upon
which the party hal never given definite
political utterance. ThJ fres list is OF
that liberal scope sufficient to satisfy
the most radical advocates of drastic re-
form and repudiation Of the principle OF
reciprocity is decisive and emphatic.
Thus the tariff bill, in addition 10 the
reforms it makes in customs laws, will
neces>iiate the immedrte readjustmeLt
o treaties with those South American
C untries which eij " practical or theo'e'
teal reciprocity with the great American
republ Of the northern hemisphere. Gao
OF the tenets OF Democracy which found
such frequent iteration and was the
source Of such decamatory eloquence in
the last two campaigns is the sa&jec5 Of
comp,omlse in the adjustment Of the
sugar schedules. The bounty, which
was to be 50 promptly repealed, is instead
to he repealed ty easy gradations and
will not reach It's conclusive enest until
after the end of the present cent1r.' It
is to be reduced one quarter Of a cent
each year for eight years.
Tie following summary of tie bill has
been prepared by representative Bryan
ofNebraska. "The bill as jlst completed
pats wool, Goa, lumber. salt and iron ore
Oh the free list, and reduces the tariff on
sugar from ore half to one-Qparter of a
cent per pound. It also provides 70: the
determination Of the bounty By degrees.
Asa Iu,e the tariff has been made the
lowest upon cheaper goods, of necessary
use, and left highest upon mere expensive
articles The wool schedule gill, perhaps
a.trae. more attention We have left no
duty higher than forty five per cent on
manufactures of wool, and that only on
readc-made garments, the average being
less than forty per cent. Cheaper quail
ity Of blankets and hInnels are only tax
ell twenty five per cent and lower grades
of carpets only twenty. We have also
applied a gradual reduction to the
WOODEN schedule 50 that at end OF fve
years the highest duty VIII be forty and
average near thirty per cent.
Very material reductions have been
mode in tie cotton schedule We have
placed iron ore on the free list and made
large cut along the metal schedule.
Tae duty on steel rails is reduced more
than fifty per cent" Free lumber Will be
great benefit to tie people Of the
prairie States aud free salt will give. to
who need salt for those their cutie OF
for cniing meat. the same adya1t1g'
which has been secured heretofore b.
means Of rebate to those who cured
fish. Agricultural implements have
been placed upon tie free list in order
TO enable the farmer better to COMPETE
in foreign markets and because many
Of our agricultural implements are being
sold abroad today cheaper than at
home"
