Washington. January l4.-The republican
tariff makers held no meeting today. hav-
ing encountered several perplexing points
In the chemical schedule. Certain mems
beers were assigned to procure information.
While there has been little discussion of
the general character Of the measure. two
or three underlying principles are UNDER
stood. There rs no question but that spe-
cific rates will be levied wherever possible.
The bounty scheme. 1t Is understood. will
be abandoned with adequate duty on sugar.
The principle of free raw materials will be
disregarded. Wool is considered by the re-
pubicans as tho farmers finished product.
which should be protected as the manufac-
turers products are. and lumber is also
regarded as quite as deserving OF protec-
ton as other articles In which labor Is
