pated in the gayeties that occurred

TARIFF BILL PASSES HOUSE
It Is Now Up to the Senate to Make
Amendments and Changes

On the whole, the tariff bill, as pass
ed Friday by the house, adheres con-
sistently to the republican principle of
protection.
Out of the conflict, the west has
emerbed with a moderate degree of pro-
lection for its staple products, with the
exception of hides, which are placed on
the free list. Lumber, wool, lead and
barley all have some degree of protec
ton.
The senate tariff bill, so far as rates
are concerned, is complete, but it was
decided that in making a report Chair
man Aldrich will announce a reserva
ton on certain important schedules for
future action. These reservations will
include hides, steel, rails, wood pulp
and crude petroleum.
Chairman Aldrich asserts that the
senate committee had made a more gen
eral revision of rates than was done by
the house committee on ways and means
and that reductions had been made OF
greater number of articles. This die
not mean that there would be reduc
ton of revenues, but there would b'
recommended a bona fide revision down
ward Of the tariff.
While the principal fight on the fina
passage Of the Payne tariff bill by tn
house was on the lumber schedule, tn
only change made was elimination o
the proviso for a countervailing duty
AS it stands, the schedule now provide
for a duty Of 81 per thousand feet o.
ordinary sawed lumber, as against S
under the Dingley law.
In cases in which the lumber is plane
OF finished. an additional duty Of 8
cents per thousand is provided on eac
side treated. Hewn timber or roug
timber, such as is used in making spar
or in building wbarves, is made dut
able at the rate Of One-half a cent pc
cubic foot.
