THE TARIFF BILL.

Mr.. Payne, who will be chsirmsn of
the ways aud means committee of the
next House, will have the new tsr.ff bill
ready to introduce as soon as the House
organizes next Monday. Speaker Osn-
non will appoint the ways and means
committee and the committee on rules
on the same day. Mr.. PAyue's bill will
be Immediately referred TO the ways snd
meaes committee, aud on the next day
it will be reported bsck to the House
aud the COMMITTEES on rules will immsd-
lately afterward bring 10 a resolution
fixing the day when the 6nsl vote on
the bill Is to be taken. Several dsys will
be given for general debate, and mem
bers Of the House win be given 'lesve
to print"
Material reductions In the duties On
iron and steel are promised to the forth
coming tariff bill. 1t is also the under
sisnding tat while the duty on raw
wool is to remain as at present, cuts are
to be made on all articles of wooden man
uiacture.
Hides are to 60 on the free list, the
duty on leather is to be cut, aod the
duty on shoes considerably lowered.
Wood pulp will be placed on the free
list, and the duty on lumber reduced
probably one half. Reductions In duties
upon almost all manufactured goods ere
,aid to be made, specially 10 msDuia'-
lures of steel and iron, to correspond
with the reduced rates on iron and steel.
Whisky and beer will remain as they
are at present, II the subcommittee rec.
concentrations are e1acted into law. IL
was felt that whisky was READY carry
ing all the lax it could sta0d, while in
he case of bsertbe prohibition movement
Throughout. thu country, it was explain
ed, had cut down the consumption OF
beer, and it was felt thst 1t would be q
hardship to impose aIiy further tax.
1t having become manifest to the COM
mittee that the duties derived from GUS
toms under the new bill would not pro-
duce the revenue expected, they turned
to the expedient If reviviDg the war rev.
enue set Of 1898, which placed tax on
elegrams, bank checks, playing cards
and all stocks bought or sold.
That feature Of the war revenue act is
iucorpor ted In the measure as drafted
it is said.
A matter which still is peTplexing the
committee is that of placing q tax on in
heriIances. President TAFT wants it, it
is declared, AID is pressing the commit
tee to take action along that liue. Pres
ent indications are. it Is said, that the
committee will yield to the Presidents
wishes.
