THE NEW TARIFF BILL.
Styled as Moderate Measure" by Leading
Republicans Of the House.

Washington. Dec. 1l.-"A moderate
measure" is the characterization which
leading Republicans of the House give
TO the new tariff bill, it is purposed to
frame this winter. in anticipation OF
an extra session of Congress. 1t is ex-
planned that what is desired is bill
which will provide sufficient revenue
to cover the deficit now existing, fur
nishing proper protection 10 home in
dustries. 1t is pointed out that the
conditions have considerably changed
since the Mckinley bin became a law
ard that the rates of duty that Were
justified then are unnecessary at pres
ent. 1t is stated for example, that the
tin plate industry, which was enor
mously stimulated by the duty of tive
cents a pound imposed in the Mckin-
ley law, is RoW so We'll established that
return TO the former rate is unneces-
sary. The sugar schedule promises tc
cause more embarrassment than any
other in the bill. Some of the Repub-
lican members of the ways and means
committee say that the three states
which produce sugar, Louisiana. Texas
and Nebraska, gave their vote, last
month, to Mr.. Bryan, and this, in con
nection with the position the members
of Congress from Louisiana and Texas
have always taken with respect to tbs
tariff, will be. ii is asserted, strong
influence against protecting this in
dustry any further than the necessities
of the case require. The agricultural
schedule will probably be fixed at the
former rates of duty. The Wooler
schedule. it is said, will receive suffi-
cient protection to satisfy the manu-
facturers. The cotton schedule is not
likely to be changed. The present al
valorem system will be changed to q
system of specific duties.
The bill. it is said, will contain a pro
vision that goods in bond shall. wheI
taken out. pay the rate of duty in force
and not the lower rate at which they
were originally brought to this coun-
try. An agreement will be made
whereby dates will be assigned to GER
tain interests to be heard, so there
may be some systematic method o.
giving the hearings without embar-
rassment.
