Wellington, Jin rch 16. The new

is entitled: "An net to provide revenue

induBtricH of thu United States." The
date when the new tarlll 1h to go into

draft submitted to the house as May 1,
1807. The bill, as a whole, is a pro
tective measure. The average rates arc
little, If any, below those of the McKin
ley bill, and in somu of the schedules
they are slightly higher. Specific duties
have- been substituted, us far as possible,
for nd valorem rates. It is intended to
raise from $50,000,000 to $00,000,000
more revenue under the bill than is pro
vided by existing laws under similar
business conditions. When the task of
