The State Department has heard nothing of the

made public the fact that his plans had been

They say that if the increases on silks, laccs,

is lower than under any tariff bill in the last

Attention is called by the experts to the fact
that the equivalent adj valorem rates Of a tariff

high ad valorem rate of 57.O7 in 1899 was due to
