and 6,0OO,O0 pounds of filler tobacco, and 1J0,-
100000 cigars in any one fiscal year. The ex-

fined to the growth of products of the islands,
however, and does not admit articles imported

try without payment of full rates of duty on
sucn importations.
"A section is added applying the same rules

The following explanation of the form of the
bill was made by Mr.. Payne
The new tariff bill is minimum and maxi
mum tariff bill. The minimum rates OF duty are
contained in the first section, and the free list
for the minimum rates is in the second section
of the bill. The third section contains the maxi
mum rates which generally equal to the min
imum rates and 20 per cent in addition thereto.
and the articles the free list, in the transfer
TO the third section. bear a duty of 20 per
centum ad valorem a maximum rate. The
maximum rate does not go into effect in any
event until 60 days after the passage of the
act. BY the fourth section the minimum rates
are applied TO all goods imported from any
country which gives the United States as good
terms by way of tariff that given to any
other nation. and the maximum rates are ap-
piled to those countries which discriminate

those given any other nation This section is
self-acting. making it the duty of the executive

The bill adds a new paragraph to section IL
of the customs administrative act, which pro-
vides for the apprasement of goods imported by
