TARIFF BILL AT
 LAST FINISHED Payne Presents Conference Re-
 port In the House METALS MOST REDUCED Wool Schedule Is Practically un- changed While Duty on Sugar and Tobacco Remain As In
 the DingIey Bill.

Washington, July 30.-When Majority Leader Payne, head of the House con- ferees on the tariff bill, which bears his name, rose in the House today to present the report of the conference committee of the two houses on the bill, the measure had been in conference for just three weeks
 Contendng that the bill marks a gen. eral downward tendency from present rates of duty, MT. Payne presented an exhaustive analysis of its provisions. He undertook to show that there had been marked decrease in the rates on the necessities of life, while admitting that there had been an increase on some of the luxuries.
 Probably the most marked reductions throughout any schedule in the bill, as a result of the action of the two houses and of the conference committee, are found in the metal schedule. Beginning with decrease in the rate of iron ore from 40 to 15 cents per ton, there is a general reduction throughout that por- tion of the bill, pig iron going down from S4 to $2.50 per ton and scrap iron from
 
 items in this schedule amounts to about 50 per cent and this reduction includes steel rails. There is an increase on struc- tural steel (ready for use) and also a slight increase on razors, nippers and pliers and on such new metals as tung- stin.
 Rough lumber goes down from g to SIPS per thousand feet with a correspond ing reduction in the dfferential on dressed lumber.
 Wool Schedule Unchanged.
 The wool schedule underwent no change of consequence but the entire cotton schedule was reconstructed and the ghraseology greatly changed in the hope of preventing reductions through decisions by the courts such as have characterized the administration of the Dingley law during later years. In many instances the rates intended to be imposed by the Dingley law were cut by these decisions, the reductions in some istances being from 60 to 8 per cent ad valorem. It is estimated that the rates fixed by the bill are about 3 per cent higher on an aver age than those contained on cottons last year.
 In the much contested matter of the rate on gloves, the high protectionists failed to score They sought, through an increase made by the House to raise the duty materially above the Dingley figures, but were antagonized by the Senate and the Senate won, the only change made in the entire schedule being one slight reduction.
 The silk schedule was reconstructed with view of imposing specific rather than ad valorem duties, with the result that the average duty will be somewhat higher under the new law than under the present statute.

ference committee. This had heen done because comparisons have been made based upon the amount of importations, he said.
 Duties" he said, have been lowered where they were too high under the pres ent law, sometimes prohibitive in charac- ter, and for that reason the importations were comparatively small. On the other hand they have been raised in some in stances where the tariff was insufficient for protection and the importations were very great"
 He then gave the following table, which shows the consumption value of articles on which rates of duty have been in- creased and decreased in all cases where the amount of production could be ascer- tained:

 This schedule of rates will result in a reduction of 15 per cent on boots and shoes, 20 per cent on harness and sad dlery, l5 per cent on sole leather and 121a per cent on leather for uppers, if made of the hides that are put on the free list
 Bituminous coal Is reduced from 67 cents per ton to 45 cents, and there is also a reduction on gunpowder. matches and cartridges.
 Agricultural implements go from 20 per cent ad valorem to 15 per cent, and the older works of art are placed upon the free list
 Petroleum, which received much atten- ton in both houses, slips through with out any duty, countervailing or other wise, and most of its products come un- der the same terms.
 The customs court was retained and its headquarters remain in Washington.
 The principal difficulty in the way of clearly detailed comparison between the present so-called Dngley law and the new bill lies in the fact that in most of the more important and sharply con- tested provisions a radical encouragement or classification and a shifting from spe- cine to ad valorem duties, leave few com mons terms for comparison.
 Analysis of Bill.
 MT Payne's statement comprised an analysis of the bill, showing both the in creases and decreases, but this detailed presentation was preceded by general summary in which he thunder took to show the extent of revenue increases and decreases according to the schedule. Ac. cording to this showing the total in. creases were on importations valued al *S52 2,512,525 and the total decreases on i'm. porations amounting to $4,97s, 122, ,124 In this preliminary statement, Mr. Payne said that he had had made an In vestigation based on the census returns oi 1905, showing the amount of domestic con- sumption of articles upon which duties nave been raised and also the articles upon which duties have been lowered by the bill as finally reported from the con-

Items Gathered in
From Far and Near
Skyscraoer Churches.

From the New York World.-The
new edifice of the Fifth Avenue Bap-
fist congregation. of which Mr.. Rock
efeller and other prominent business
men are members, will further illus
trate the tendency in church architec-
ture to depart from the traditional
models and to build upward. Above
the auditorium will be located the so
cial parlors, Bible class rooms and
other features of the skyscraper in
stitutional church. The main exam
pie in New York of this type is. the
Broadway Tabernacle, twelve stories
high, in which the institutional de-
partments are housed on separate
floors. Pittsburg has church locat-
ed in a fourteen-story office building
to the end that the becuest devoting
its site to church purposes always
and ever should not be nullified.
AS against these examples of utili-
tartan church architecture the new Ca
thedral of St. John the Divine repro
duces the ancient form of ecclesiasti-
cal construction in all it's stateliness.
But the significant thing is the evil
dence shown of a disposition to make
the city church edifice conform ar.
chitecturally to its environment The
skyscraper chu<ch has been evolved
from the skyscraper office building
and hotel and that it is the type of
church of the future seems probable.

GOLFERS VERSUS BALLINGER

A pretty little illustration Of the
power of truth is being given to the
country just at this moment. Surely
it was not more than two months ago
that Golfers appeared with it's little
leader entitled "Ballinger Should Co."
There have been sundry unimportant
looking little items in the editorial
columns of that paper. Then came the
defense of Mr. Ballinger by the Presi
dent, which the people are unwilling
to believe he was deliberate party
to. Apparently that was the last of it.
But
