bers exceeding 20 and up to 80 are
made dutiable at Ia of cent per

80 per cont less than on the second
division.
A portion of that part of paragraph
3Ol relating to peush velots, which
was stricken out by the senate was
inserted, though in changed form.

of l8 cents per square yard and 25
por centum ad valorem."

of 10 per cent, ad valorem on all

conference. The thread paragraph
is compromise between tho two
houses, making duty of 1 cent
per pound on threads made from
