There was a great contest over the
rates OF schedule ID (wood and wood
manufactures), expected 10 yield N,-
494 900. The result was, however
strictly protective list OF duties, which
was fought tooth and nail by the sena-
tors OF the prairie states, where timber
and lumber are not produced. The
senators from the states of Washing
ton. Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michi-
gan were strongest in support OF the
rates 40 finally adopted, i'm strict ac-
cordance with the Republican doctrine
that the industries of every part or the
country should share i'm the govern
ment's fostering care. Ii was the con-
tention of those who formed the oppo-
sition that timber and unmanufactured
lumber were. strictly speaking, raw ma
terials and should be admitted free.
The discussions OF schedule (sug-
ars) have been so exhaustive that its
consideration here i'm detail is hardly
called for. In passing, however, 1t may
be remarked that the expected income
from this schedule. $3S.000.00O forms a
very large proportion of the hoped for
aggregate and this will undoubtedly be
the case for a long time at least until
the protection afforded shall create the
worlds greatest sugar industry in the
semiarid prairie states and on the Pa
cific coast.
Schedule II (tobaccos, cigars etc) Is
brief. but highly important since 1t is
expected to yield the large sum of $lS,-
$4,000. 1t may not be generally under
stood. but IL is a fact. that not more
than or per cent OF the tobacco used
in the United States at the present time
is imported. 1t is true that large per-
centage of our high priced cigars come
from Cuba or did until recently, but
they form small part only OF the to-
bacco consumption of this country.
Cheap cigars, cigarettes and chewing
and smoking tobacco make up most of
the total. The heavy advances OF duty

As passed by the house schedule y
(earthcnware and glassware), one OF
the most important I'm the whole law,

ules. as IL must necessarily be one OF
the most complex. When ID went 10 the

extremely well arranged selection OF
facts and figures. In the senate, how
over ad valorcm were substituted for
specific duties on more than 30 per cent
OF the items. and as IL now stands the
schedule is very much like the corre-
spending schedule under the Mckinley
law. There have been some reductions

coal tar products. are restored to the

now rated lower than they were under
