Reciprocity Provisions.
1.-THE reciprocity provisions of the
act of 1850 have not only been fully re-
stored, but this policy has been ex-
tended by adding to sugar, tea, coffee
and hides as articles on which to make
reciprocal agreements, such articles as
champagne, brandy, wines, artificial
and natural mineral waters, chickle,
argots and silk laces.

"This estimate is on the supposition
that the imports of each class of goods
would be the same next fiscal year as
in the fiscal year ended last June. But
as the imports Of woolens were three
times as great as in 1893, the committee
assumes that the excessive importation
would be largely reduced by the pro-
posed bill, and places the increased rev.
enue from this source at $40, ,0O0, 900.
From sugar we estimate e20, ,00O. 600
additional revenues. Anticipating .
considerable falling OF Of imports OF
Havana tobacco because Of the revolu.
ton in Cuba, we reduce the estimates
of additional revenue to be derived
from the tobacco schedule to a. 900, 900.
The remaining schedules would afford
q revenue of about $39, 500, 900 on the
basis Of the imports Of 1896, but as
there would probably be diminished
imports at some points, although the
gradual restoration Of business activity
would offset this by increasing the con.
sumption of imported Injuries, we re-.
duce the estimates on these to 81, ,OOO,.
600. These would aggregate All addi.
tional revenue Of $50. .O0o, 900 the first
year. .a .......
Where ths decrease Genes From.
''This increase Of revenue ia secured
by transferring wool, lumber, crude
opium, paintings and statuary, straw
mattings, burlaps and various articles
from the free list Of the present law to
the dutiable list; by increasing the
duty ON ,woolens to compensate the
manufactures for the duty placed on
wool; by raising the duty on sugar
about three-fourths Of cent per pound
in order to encourage the productlon of
sugar in this country, which, it is be-
lieved, can be done, and thus give our
farmers q new crop which we now inn
port mainly from abroad; by increas.

THE AMERICAN PARTY.

Govement on Feot to Organise tho Fac
t,ons Which Supported Mr.. Bryan.
CHICAGO, March 18.-The Times
Herald publishes the following: An
effort is to bo made to effect per-
manent amalgamation of all the fac
tions which were allied in the support
Of w. J. Bryan. Several conferences
have been held recently IN Chicago, at
which the situation was discussed and
decision reached that some step
should be taken to prevent the threat.
ened disruption Of what may be termed
the reform forces. The April number
of New Occasions, q radical magazine
published in Chicago, voices the senti.
ment Of those who have beeen in con.
ference in an address which calls for
the abandonment Of old party lines
and an organization under the name OF
the American party.
The editorial proposes q novel
method Of forming party platform
and organization. It suggests that at
noon on the Fourth Of next July the
American people meet in their respec.
tive townships, precincts or voting
places and
Organise by Voting Precincts
all over the United States. Each pre-.
cinct to elect one representative to a
congressional convention to be held a
few days later each precinct also to
perfect permanent organization.
At the congressional conventions one
representative is to suggest who should
be chosen as member Of the peoples
congress. He should be selected not
for his oratorical ability, but for his
capacity to think. 'Select men who
are willing to abide by the will OF the
majority" the editorial adds, ''and
having selected them, pledge your
selves to abide by the res nit Of their
combined wisdom"
