Countervailing Clause Stricken


The countervailing duty clause on
lumber was stricken out, but strong
effort to place lumber on the free list
did not succeed.
The duties on barley, malt, pineap-
Piles in crates and cotton collars and
cuffs, as originally in the bill, were
increased. A proviso was included in
the tobacco schedule increasing the du-
ty on filler tobacco from any country
which prohibits the importation of
American tobacco.
There were several technical changes
in the steel schedule, principally down
ward. Hides, hosiery and gloves wer :
left as reported by the committee, hides
remaining free and an increased duty
being presented for gloves and stock
ings. The contest over free petroleum
was stubborn, but the vote in it's favor
was overwhelming.

TARIFF BILL
PASSED
HOUSE COMPLETES WORK
AND HANDS 1T TO
SENATE.
Free Lumber Defeated, and It Is
Considered Possible Senate Will
Restore Dingley Duty Some of
the Other Changes Made by
House.

Washington, April 1O.-After three
weeks of consideration the Payne tariff
bill was passed by the house of repre-.
sentatives last night amid great ecxite-
ment, by vote of 217 to 161. One
Republican, Austin, of Tennessee, vot-
ed against the measure, and four Dem
ocrats, all from louisiana
Estopinal, Pujo and Wickliffe-voted
for it.
The day was filled with excitement
from the moment the session began at
noop until adjournment The final
vote demonstrated the capaciy of the
Republican organization to get to-
gether.
The situation with regard to lumber
was greatly relieved to the Republican
leaders when it became manifest that
the advocates of the proposition plac-
ing it on the free list we're in the mi
nority. Because of that fact. Mr.. Fitz-
gerald, of New York, charged that a
midnight deal he'd been made the pre-
vlous night whereby free lumber was to
be voted down and the rates on barley
and malt increased, and this notwith-
standing the denials of Messrs. Mann,
of Illinois, and Cushman, of Washing
ton, who offered the barley amend
ments.
The bill was introduced March II,
reported to the house by the ways and
means committee on the following day
and was under general debate for six
teen days. Last Monday the rules COM
mittee reported special order, which
closed the general discussion and pro-
vided for the consideration of the bill
under the five minute rule.
One Of the principal changes in the
bill was the placing of petroleum on
the free list.
Among the other important amend
ments made since the bill came from
the committee were those striking out
the provision for duty on tea and the
countervailing duty provision on coffee
The drawback section was added to
the bill so that it could not be taken
advantage of for specializing in grain,
and the Philippine free trade provision
was amended so that rice will not be
admitted free from the islands.
