DRAWING A TARIFF BILL.

The construction of tariff law en-
bracing protection to great variety and
number of interests, is one of the most
comp pick, difficult and delicate tasks ever
undertaken by practical statesmen. The
bill just introduced has received the
closest attention of the most expert and
public spirited of the avowed protection
lists in congress.
Extraordinary efforts we're made to
have it ready for the extra session. Mr..
Dngley, chairman of the committee of
ways and means has been most studious
and constantly laborious in this great
work and there can be no doubt that his
workmanship is of the very first order.
His knowledge of this subject is large,
extending even to infinitely accurate in
formation, and he is associated and sym
pathetic with manufacturing communities.
There is no state in which the people un-
derstand themselves better on this sub
ject than Maine, where there have been
established many industries that vary the
occupation and enhance with home mar
kets the prosperity of the people. The
sardlne, the sweet corn, the "Boston BEAM"
the wood pulp paper establishments, are
of the industries to be named 10 this con-
nection.
Mr.. Dipgley of the Androscoggin may
not be SO highly cultivated in theories as
Mr.. Wilson of the Shenandoah, but we
notice that the waters Of Virginia are not
much vexed with mill.wheels. Still there
are many persons in favor of sample

The better way is to jam the bill through
