REDUCE COTTON DRESS GOODS
Tariff Confcrees Shave Down Senate's
Schedule 5 Per Cent.

Washington, July 17.-When the
conferees on the tariff bill met today
the cotton schedule was the first thing
taken up. Because of the contentio
that the rates levied by the Dingley
law on the various classes of cotton
goods were not in all cases collected,
the senate redrafted the entire sched-.
ule, substituting specific rates for the
house ad valorems whenever possible
The conferees agreed to reduction
of per cent in the Dingley rates on
women's and children's dress goods
made of cotton warp
When the conference adjourned for
luncheon three changes in the wool
schedule had been agreed upon. All
these were reductions, lower duty On
women's and children's dress goods be-
ing made on woolen fabrics weighing
four ounces or over to the square yard,
and woven into cotton warp. A re-
duction of 5 per cent was also made
in the duty on yarns valued at 80 cents
pound or less. By adopting these
changes, the conference committee has
disposed of the entire wool schedule
the other duties agreed upon being the
same as those of the existing law.

vision In many instances, tho perhaps
in some few cases an increase might
be needed; that he reached this con.
clusion from the platform on what he
understood to be the principle of pro-

that after an industry was protected
by a duty equal to the difference
abroad and the cost of production in
this country, including fair profit
to the manufacturer, the effectiveness
of American labor and the ingenuity
of American inventors under the inn
pulse of competition behind the tariff
wall, would reduce the cost of produce

would become unnecessarily high and

protection and the conditions were such
as to enable the ore producers and the
oil producers and the coal producers
and the producers of hides to COM

hoped to make up his mind with re-

able to him in order to carry out what
he understood to be the promises OF
the party to the whole people. He
said he felt that his position as the
titular head of the republican party
and as president gave him somewhat
broader point of view than that of a
single member of congress in respect to
articles produced in his district. He

for downward revision within the
limitations of the protective principle

that call as he heard it, as we'll in the
