The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1897-05-05


lumber imported from any foreign
country which imposes an export duty
is changed 80 as to add the amount
OF the export duty. instead Of any
fixed sum.
Many and important changes were
made by the senate tariff sub-commit-
tee in the wool and wooden schedule az
passed by the house. First-class woods
were reduced from II cents per pound
as provided in the house bill, to cents
per pound, and second-class woods from
IL to 8 cents, whereas the duties on
woods Of the third-class were raised.
The dividing line in this latter class
was placed at 10 cents value, woods
under that value being made dutiable
at the rate Of 4 cents per pound in
stead of 80 per cent ad valorem, as in
the house bill. Woods valued at more
that 10 cents per pound were placed at
7 cents per pound instead of so per cent
ad valorem.
The wool growers failed to secure all
the changes which they desired in class
ification, but it is understood that the
rates fixed on the woods themselves are
satisfactory to them.
Skirted woods Of the first class as
imported in 1890 and prior to that are
required to pay 1 cent per pound in ad-
on unwashed woods Of class one. There
is d reduction on noils from 80 to 20
cents per pound.
