washington, July 30.-Whcn Rep
resentative Payne, head of the House
tonferees on the tariff bill whlcn
bears his name, rose in the House
today to presen. the report of the
conference committee of the TWO
houses on the bin, the measure had
been in conference for three weeks
Probably the most marked reduc-
tons as "A result of the action OF the
two houses and of the conference
committee are found in the metal
schedule Beginning with decrease
in the rate of iron ore from Az 10 10
cents per ton, there is a general re-
duction through that portion of the
bln, pig iron going down from 81 TO
S250 per ton and scrap iron from
81 TO 81. The reduction on many OF
the items in the schedules amounts TO
about so per cent, and this reduction
includes steel rails. There is an IN
crease on structural steel ready ior
use and also a slight increase on ra-
Zors. nippers and pliers and on such
new metals as tungsten.
Rough lumber goes down from 81
to 1925 per thousand feet with cor
responding reduction in the differcn-
tai on dressed lumber.
No Change in Wool.
The wool schedule underwent no
change of consequence but the entire
cotton schedule was reconstructed ana
the phraseology greatly changed IN
the hope of preventing reductions
through decisions by the courts such
as have characterized the admission
Of the Dinglcy law during the latter
years. In many instances the Ding
ley rates were cut by these decisions,
in some instances from 60 per cent
10 s per cent ad valorem. 1t is cst-
mated that the rates fixed by the bill
are about per cent higher upon an
average than that collected on cot
tons last year The rates on cotton
hosiery are generally increased.
In the matter of gloves the hign
protcctIonists fail To score. They
sought to raise the duty materially
above the DingIoy figures but were
antagonized by the senate and tn"
senate won the only change made in
the entire schedule being one shSnt
reduction.
The silk schedule was reconstructed
with view of imposing SPECIFIC rath-
cr than ad yalorem duties, with the
result that the average duty VIII De
somewhat higher under the new la''.
OIL cloths and linoieum are heaV-
lily cut. but otherwise the changes IN
the haN, hemp and lutc proVlS''i@
Uere not material.
\ slightly increased duty is proNd-
ed for hemp both crude and hacked,
and also on certain high grade laoes.
Ou linen. yarns and mattings there is
q reduction.
Sugar and tobacco duties remain
substantially as they are under tn"
Dinglcy law. The free importation Of
considerable quantities of both OF
thesc articles from the Philippines i'
permitted and material change was
made in the internal revenue laws b.
an amendment taking the tax off Of
the sale OF tobacco IN the hand.
There is a uniform increase on
spirits. wines an liquors Of fifteen per
cent.
In the agricultural schedules. hoes
are increased from IL 10 Il cents a
pound and there is also an increase on
lemons, figs, almonds and pineapples'
