THE TARIFF BILL.

The senate committee has accom-
plished it's work in so far as the prep
aration of the tariff is concerned, ant
notice is given that body that the bill
will be called up for consideration In
less than two weeks. From the infor-
nation given out concerning the chan
ges made it is evident that little diff
ference in revenue will result from the
changes. The additions to the free list
are not sufficient to make very ma
terial difference and there are some of
the free list schedules of the House
replaced by duties. One of the most
material changes is in the imposition
of specific duties on all articles that
are paid an export duty by the govern
ments from which they are exported.
In the House schedules such articles
paid a duty of % per cent ad-valorem
in addition to the regular schedules,
but in the Senate list these goods have
the export duty added to the regular
duties imposed, and it is made the duS
ty of the treasury department to su-
pervise the lists Of such articles from
time to time and announce the duties
imposed. The wool schedules are ma
terially changed, the first and second
class woods being reduced and the
third class woods advanced. All woods
under ten'cents pay four cents pound
under the new classification and the
duties on fir st and second class woods
drop from II to and from II to re-
spectively. This classification will
not meet with any objection in the
House. The clauses of the House bill
that retain the reciprocity feature of
the Hawaiian treaty are stricken out
and that treaty is virtually abrogated
thereby and Hawaiian sugar made to
pay duty as all others do. How the
House will regard this change re-
mains to be seen. Rates on under
wear are higher than in the House
schedules, and there is a restriction in
the clothing that an American coming
from abroad can bring over with him
without paying duty on it. Cattle i'm
port duties are slightly changed the
change being to a higher rate, and
duty imposed on hides, that necessita-
ties a change in the leather schedules.
There is a sweeping change in the du-
ties on tobacco, which pays a tax of
cents per pound under almost all its
forms The duty on tobacco varies
from So cents to $225 per pound. A
considerable of the schedule is based
on ad valorem, which is not regarded
by the revenue people as satisfactory
as the specific duty. There is not dlt-
ference in the work of the two Houses
as far as shown to lead to any fear OF
a serious clash, but the action of the
senate itself in the premises is open to
conjecture. Only when the schedules
are finally adopted will it be possible
to assert anything Conclusively con-
corning them. All that is known is
that the new tariff will protect our
home industries and raise the revenues
necessary to carry on the government
without resorting to large bond sales
in times of peace to raise revenue.
