Wisconsin is the only state from
which delegation has been sent
that in the consideration of tariff
schedules has had spirit enough to lift
itself above mere local influences and
decide it's action on important tariff
schedules upon the broad oasis of their
effect upon the general business of
the country.
The meeting of the Wisconsin dele
cation upon the tariff was harmonious
and declared in favor of
Free lumber
Free iron ore
Free hides
Free oil
Free coal
Free tea
Free coffee
Reduction of the wooden schedules
Reduction of the cotton schedule
The delegation determined not only
to stand for these things but to ask
for the barley growers of Wisconsin an
increase on the duty on barley to IS .25
a bushel. The committee on ways
and Means it is understood, will recon-
mend such an amendment although
the brewers and maltSterS are press
ing hard to have the reduction to S Is
buShel as was reported in the bill
maintained.
Another important amendment de
manded by the Wisconsin delegation
is that the draw back feature of the
bill shall be made specific. The pur-
pose of this is to prevent the impor-
tation of foreign goods, their manufac.
ture in this country, and the expor-
tation of products of this country as
substitutes for the importations made
in the first instance for manufacturing
purposes
