minss long heralded bill revising the meta
schedule. which Is 20 be supported by IN,
ratic-insurgent coalition in the Sen
ate. was introduced to-day as an amend
ment 10 the House bill, which is TO 90 by
tho board
In some respects the Cummlns amend
ment provides for greater decreases thar
the House bill In others II carefully
eliminates such features of the Underwood
measurable Lead and zinc reductions tol
example-sS aroused protest from the In
surgent states OF the Vest
Senator Cummins's Analysis Of his bi
i- in part as follows
The metal schedule Of the Payne Aldrich
tariff law is composed OF eighty-tWo para
nifty four of these making specific changes
In the duties As TO tHenty-eight OF the
paragraphs the reduction is horizontal. In
general vsv the hfty-four paragraphs
which are rewritten comprise what IS gen
orally known as tonnage steel and iron, to-
ghther with zinc and lead They include the
commodities which are usually handled I'm
tonnage quantities. The twenty eight para p
graphs in which the reduction is horizontal
cover the more highly organized and manu-
n ctured forms Of metal; such as cutlery,
watches and the like.
The SPECIFIC changes In the flftyfour
paragraphs are founded upon the informa-
ton obtained in the exhaustive investisa-
tions carried on bv the Bureau OF Corpora
tons Bureau Of Census and the lmmlsra-
ton Commission. In 80 far AZ has been
possible specific duties have been used in
stead Of the I'D vsloren duties adopted in
the schedule passed by the House OF Repre-
sentatlves, but IN some instances the re.
ductions are greater in the proposed
amendment than I'm the House bill.
With respect 20 the twenty-eight para
graphs comprising the more highly organ
lied forms Of manufacture the reduction ls
20 per crutum The reason that these para.
graphs have not been rewritten and the
duties rtadjusted Is that there has not been

point which will afford ample protection.
With regard 10 lead and zinc there has
been no change IN the duty on lead or zinc

and bullion and the like has been reduced
from pa cents q pound 10 rs cents pound.
