Washington, Aug. 15.-The monthly
report of the bureau of statistics of the
treasury department, shows the exports
for July to be $36O,727,55O, as against
$444 $685. ,O4O for the same period last
year.
SOME coon FEATURES.
Representative McMillin gives detail
statement as to the effect of the new
tariff bill. He said: "While the house or
the Wilson bill is a better bill in my
Judgment than the senate or German
full improvement on the Mckinley law.
It gives free wool, free lumber, free hemp,
flax and jute, and reduces largely manu-
featured goods into which all these ma
terials enter.
"To illustrate, the average duty on wool
en- goods in the Mckinley bill is 9S1a.
This has been reduced one-half. There
is also considerable reduction on all
schedules and the average on all will be
about 38 per cent as against so per cent
under the present law. The right of the
president to impose taxes without the
consent of congress Is taken away and
given back to congress where it belongs
and from which it was wrested by the Nc
Kinley law. Much has been said concern
ing the sugar duty. There is less
benefit given to the manufacturer
by this bill than by the Nc
Kinley law. 1t should not be for
gotten also that the new revenue system
recommended by the house, known as the
income tax, is retained IN the bill and
becomes part of our fiscal policy. By
this it is proposed to tax what people
have in excess of their needs, rather than
tax what they need and have not got.
VICE PRESIDENT SIGNS THE BILL.
At 1915 the clerk of the house brought
to the senate the tariff bill with mes
sage requesting the signature of the presi-
dent of the senate. At 1927 the vice

will put in the presidents possession as
early as possible.
NO DEMONSTRATION.

of the enrolment of the tariff bill with
out any demonstration.
THE PRESIDENTS REGRETS.
The president has written letter to
Chairman Wilson on the outcome of the
tariff battle. 1t is personal letter, de-
voted largely to expressions of regret,
and his regard for the gallant fight Mr..
Wilson had made, and under the circrm-
stances not to be made public, nor would
any reference to it be allowed had not
Wilson's friends inadvertently disclosed
the fact. 1t was written Monday morn
ing as soon as the president received the
bulletin saying the house had determined
to recede from it's disagreement and ac
cept the senate bill. The letter does not
discuss the tariff question except in an
indirect way of expressing deep sympathy
and regret for the personal reverse met
by Mr.. Wilson.
