FROM APRIL :, ,
The Republicans Propose to Make
the Dingley Bill Duties Effective.
Would be Eminently Unfair.

Washington, March 29.-The propo-
sition which has been discussed by the
Republican members of the Ways and
Means Committee since they began
work on the tariff bin, that all goods
imported after a certain date, before
the enactment Of the bill, shall be mao
to pay the duties Garfield by the bIll. 10
likely to crystalline into definite form.
1t is possible, if not probable, that an
amendment will be made to the bill
in the House to effect this purpose, and
April I'd is the date on which it is pro-
posed that the Dingley bill rates shall
go into effect.
The question has been investigated
by a subcommittee consisting Of Messrs.
Dalzell, of Pennsylvania; Tawney, OF
Minnesota, and Grosvenor, of ONO.
They have considered the legal aspects
of the plan very carefully and have OBJ
tanned opinions from lawyers who are
said by them to be high authorities, TO
the effect that the plan is constitutional.
They have not drafted an amendment
vet. but one of them said to-day that
they will prepare an amendment whlch
will declare in substance, that all m
ports made on and after April >. l6Sh
dutiable at the rates finally tXed by tne
bill. This amendment will be inLTo-
duced to-day or tomorrow the Hleil-
bers of the Subcommittee said ana
they asserted will be passed by the
solid Republican vote OF the House
The Republican members OF the com
mittee have not definitely decided up
on the plan, however and II Is posslDle
that they may not carry out the pIO'
posals of the Subcommittee.
II is difficult 10 secure any author ".1

Special to the Regis. =
EAST LIVERPO, y darch 29-It is
known in the pottery ,de that at least
two New York importing houses are pre-
pairing TO build or purchase American pot
teries TO supply their domestic trade in
case the new tariff. which increases
earthenware tariffs p per cent. becomes a
law. One Of these houses already has
options on two western potteries. They
Will locate in the west on account of the
inland freight rates. This one firm will
invest $4,000 in the American factories.
The new tariff on staple lines is too high
TO allow competition with domestic ware
by importers. and they Will make table
and toilet ware in America, while the
porcelaines and finer grades will be i'm
ported This would be a greater hardship
10 English than to French and German
pOtters, but would greatly increase COM
petition on staples at home and would
break up the iron-clad price list OF the
American pOtters compact.

make fool out of yourself. st. Cloud

Great Scott, Mack. That's unkind.
The HERALD got the calamity idea"
so far as it was applied to st. Cloud,
from the Times editorials. You have
howled it so persistently that the HER
AID was led to believe it. We hasten
to apologize for our credulity
