OUTRAGEOUS OUTRAGEOUS TARIFF,
IT WILL PROHIBIT THE IMPoR. TATI0N OF ALL GLASSES
 oF GOODS.
What senator Jones. Of Arlxan- sas, Says of the Dinglcy-
 AIdrich Tariff HllI.

WASHINGTON, July II Asked hls personal opinion Of the Dinaley-
 A!drioh tariff bill, Senator Jones
 aid to the Gaseffe representative
 In the pew tariff are so many ouaages that 1t is hard to tell what its worst features are. Perhaps the woolen schedule may be considered the worst. The heavy tax on raw wool with the eompensating taxes
 0 the manufacturers, will make the average rate of burden imposed in the schedule enormously high. IL will practically prohibit the impor taiion of all classes of goods that are made in the unled States The eroekery and glass schedule arc equally obnoxious, but the bill is filled with gifts 10 the trusts and moaopolies As if came from the House it carried the highest average Of taxation ever i'm. posed. As reported to the Senate from the committee it was slightly modified, and in bis opening speech Mr. Aldrich said that q bill imgos ing excessive burdens was not to be thought of In the consideration Of the measure, however, the Repubi cans systematically abandoned the Senate amendments and took the IIonse rates, and tn many instances eyen raised the rates above those proposed by the House.
