Bill in Shape.
HIDES TARIFF SAMPLE
Found 1t Will Actually Operate
to the Disadvantage of
United States.

Washington, April 10.-The miracles
of the Payne tariff bill which passed
the house yesterday and the compli-
cations which may result from its en-
actment into law are Illustrated by
the hides and leather schedules. IN
connection with the maximum and
minimum provisions of the new bin u
peculiar situation is presented.
One of inequalities.
The bill places hides on the free list
with retaliatory provision for duty
of 20 per cent advalOrem on hides
coming from countries which do not
give the United States the benefit of
their most favored nation clause. The
duty on sole leather as now in the
bill is ) per cent ajvalOrem. The max
imum provided for sole leather is 90
per cent of the duty in addition which
makes it per cent advalorem. 1t is
contended the inequality between the
duties on hides and sole leather IS
so great it will seriously affect Ameri-
can tanners.
where Trouble Lies.
II is pointed out that Venezuela, for
instance, would find it to its advau-
tage to have the maximum rates duty
in the Payne bill apply against its pro
ducts in order to encourage its tanning
industry While its hides would not
find as large a market on account Of
the 20 per cent duty, the factories for
tanning hides and exporting sole
leather to the United States would
have the advantage over American
manufacturers whose hides would cost
more on account of the maximum
duty without similar increase in the
amount of the protection on sole
leather.

Washington. April 10.-The Payne
tariff bill reached the senate from the
