While raw and ginned cotton remain on
the free list, there IL a general advance In
cotton yarns and cotton goods Of every
nature. and the new bill changes them from
ad yalorem to specific duties, but ~ cottons
Of almost every kind are specified in the
conventional tariff this part Of the law
will not take effect until after 1910.
In metals and machinery there is a general
advance, but a. it Is probable that the
Government will soon Become the owner
Of all railroads in the Empire the tariff on
rails and all materials for railway will come
In practically free or otherwise at the dis
creation Of the Government.
Locomotive engines and electric motors,
Of which the imports from the United States
exceed half a million dollars annually, are
to pay is instead Of 10 per cent. Boilers
meet with the same advance, while tele-
graph and telephone equipment 60 from
Is TO 20 per cent.
Watches, which now pay Is to 30 per cent;
are to be charged 40 and so per cent. This

from IS to 50 per cent. The amount OF
trade in these machines has developed
quite extensively. Cheap metal iewelry
Il raised from 10 to 90 per rent. Much Of
this merchandise heretofore came from the
United States.
