The new Democratic tariff bill was given to the public to-day. In many respects , it Is a surprise even to the Democratic members of congress, as it is unpre cedented in many of its provisions The free list is of liberal scope suf ficient to satisfy the most radical ad vocates of reform and the repudiation of the principle of reciprocity, which has been the pride of the Republicans and the bete nolr of the Democrats for a number of year, is decisive and emphatic. In addition to the reforms it makes In the customs laws, it 111 necessitate readjustment of trcatit with those South A eric.m countries which enjoy practical or theoretical reciprocity with the great American republic of the Northern lieinihphura. I ho bounty on sugur is to be repealed by easy graduations and w ill not reach its conclusive effect until after the end of the present ccnluiy ' , I. Jiaa . therefor J - Lwn agreed . .that tendays should be allowed the Ue publican membern for undisturbed consideration and at the expiratlo i of that period, when the bill is formally presented to the house it is likely that the minority will content Itself with such caustic comment as It may evolve for the occasion and a proposal to con tinue the McKiniey bill in operation. Tho bill presented to-day relutes to the customs schedules only. The gen eral effect of the new bill Is apparent In the statement that it reiiucen the tariff tax of about $173,ooo,imu to about 9115,000,000, being u net roil no tion ot about 958,001,000 or thirty-three per cent. When the Democratic members of the committee concluded ttieir revis ion of the customs schedules imd as certained that its effect would be to reduce the revenus of the government by about (60,000,000, in a gene al way the committee to-day announced that to make up that deficiency it proposed to rely In tho main upoa an income tax, but that it had not concluded consideration of the Internal revenue fitrures of taxation and would submit the perfected measure to their col leagues at an early date. It is c r tain, however, that no increase will be made in the tax on boor, and it Is not likely that the tax on vh hky will be increased. An increase in the lat ter tax of ten cents would yield bnt about SK'.OOO.OOO of revenue to the gov. rntneht and an infinitely larger tribute to distillers, who have their product in bond. Some time during the week a conclusion will be reached as to this particular tax. THK tKW TREK LIST IX PKTAII.

WILSON EXPLAINS. rUatemeat of the Chairman of the Way anil Keans Committee. WASiiiNOTOsr. Nov. 2'a -Chairman Wilson of the bouse ways ana ue.iua committee has ii.au d the follo-ving ctatement in regard to the tariff bill: The Democratic members of the com mittee on ways and means have felt, as none others could feel, the moment ous responsibility resting u.on them, and the magnitude, dinicultv and deli cacy of the duty assis ted them of framing1 the tariff bill for a nation of 70,000.000 of people. The bill they were called on to re form Is a vast and labyrinthine sys tem of class taxat on, the culmination of thirty years' control of the taxing minor Vv u fi.iv iTfiit intercut gathered into their--train a host if?! petty toll (rathcring1. Jt was caret uiiy framed to prevent, as long as possible, what Its author calh-d "any monkey ing with the tariff, "by whk.lv he meant any successful effort of the people to undo or lessen the bounties which its , bene ficiaries were permitted to write down therein, in their own words, and their own figures." It transferred to th- free list proper and fruitful venue articles where most of the taxes paid b the people were received by their movement, and great y increased the rates of these articles, wher ; all or most of the taxes paid by the peo-. pie went Into private coffers. ' And it was bolstered about b? many defenses, chief among which are a swept aud garnislieed treasury and a swollen and colossal scale of permancut ex penditures. Such are the conditions that con fronted us at the threshold of our work. The committee have welcomed information and counsel from every trustworthy source, and, while they do not expect their bill to escape just criticism in ail its detail!, they do present it to th country us the result of mouths of patient, anxious toil, and of an honest d sire to discharge their duty, purged of all taint of local and personal favoritism or prejudice. Its main features are two: V rst. the adoption, wherever it seemed prac ticable, of ad valorem instead of specific duties, secondly, tho freeing from taxes of those great materials of industry that lie at the base of pro duction. Speeitlc rates of duty are objection able for these reason: They fre quently conceal a rate of taxation mo enormous to be aubiuittod to If ex posed In ad valorem terms as the duty ofelifht cents k0 poumis on nalt in bulk, which amounts to over e ghty !r cent on a common necessity iif ife. They always bear heavily on ti.ti c.muu.ii article UM-d b. the mae and slightly on the ex pentovd article consumed the rich, as a tax of fit" on all houses would be nothing on the trreat mansion and very hlrh on the huiuU e ht-iiie. And contrary to cttia mu belief apecine duties lead to greater frauds la sdiulnUtratlon. for counting and weighing at tho runout house are dona by the elieapeot end tmt easily corrupted labor while sd valurein rates are aaesed by lb twsl paid and uio"! reainlbS appraiaera The ad va'oreni avsie-o has worked yn in practice.

Untaxed ores, coal, lumber, wool other things must immensely stimu late production In certain parts of our country. The thin wedge of Ameri can manufactures has entered every country. With releases from taxes on their materials there is no limit to the growth of our foreign trade. This will more than compensate the home producers of raw material, who, tariff or no tariff, control all the in terior of tho country from any appre hended Iom of market any here along the seaboard, its incalculable advantage to labor is apparent In every great line of manufactures we can produce In from six to nine months enough for our own market. We can get rid of our surplus only by foreign trado. As long as we have taxes on the materials of industry we cannot build up that trade, 1 ence the other alternative, trusts to keep down production to the home market. As to details of the bill, I will briefly recapitulate the salient changes of the several schedules. In the ehenv Istrv schedule, we hsve transfercd to the free list quite a number of articles, used in manufacturing. In the pottery schedule reductions aro made. Plain white ware Is decreased from tho high schedule In which it mysteriously crowded itself. Decorated ware is re duced from sixty to forty-tlve. In plate glass reductions are made, the largest size from fifty cents to thirty cents per square foot; on silvered from sixty to thirty-five cents. In the iron and steel schedule we begin t'vlth free ore. Tig iron we re duce from $0.72 er ton which is 60 to 0 per cent to a uniform dim of 2 per cent -n rate som-what higher in proportion than the rest of the sched ule because of cheap freight on foreign pig, it being a favorite freight on western voyages. Kteel rails were re duced from 1X 44 per tonnow 75 per cent to '45 rer cent The plates are reduced forty per cent, a little more than one half of tho McKiniey rate, This is a revenue duty and at the same time enough to permit any existing mills to live and flourish, Jtothcop er ores and pig copper are mndo free,. we being large exporters of the latter and the dutv serving omy to enable the producer to sell higher to our i eopie than to foreigners. Nickel Is free. Lead ore has a small duty of 15 ner cent, pig lead 1 cent a pound. Silver lead ores are restored to the free list Unmanufactured lumber is free. Manufactured is put at 23 per cent, with the proviso that in any export duties or charges on foreign lumber, it shall be admitted only at the rates now existing. Suffar has been a difficult subject to d -al with; raw sugar was transferred to tho free list by tho McKiniey bill, because neatly all the taxes paid on it went to the public treasury. A strong desire among members of the com mittee was to put an ad valorem duty of 20 or 25 per cent on it and to abol ish the bounty at once. After much consideration it was decided to reduce to one-half tho duty on re nod sncrars and to repeal the bounty one-eighth each year, leaving raw sugar untaxed at present. In the tobacco chednle those rates were sought which would bring most revenue. The present taxes of 83.75 per pound on wraps have blotted out many small establishment and act ually Impaired the revenue. We make the rates tl and SI. 75 per pound on the wrapper leaf, and 35 cents and 50 rents per pound on tiller tobacco on stemmed in each. Manufactures of tobacco are put at 4 1 cents. Cigars are reduced from II 50 per pound and 25 i er cent advalorem to SI per pound and 25 per cent It is believed to be the most productive revenue rate and U huher than the taw of 1m3. - I. lye animals are put at 30 per cent Harley U reduced from thirty cents per b. sliel to 2J per cent, which Is a Unit twelve cents, )!readtun, ot which we are Immense exporters, are made froo except when imported from countries putting dutie oil our like prtktucts, in which cane It U 30 per cent 1'reah vegetables, fruits, egg and like i.roducts are untaxed for the benefit of Otir own coamiiurra, largely the working peo le of th citi a ha't lu bulk U f e j tu pa 'Usj- the slit Is free, but lhi ovrrio a dalW tub at rate prvncribwd for like ar t ! la ibe I i4et Kks tf, Kan , N'ov : T I Ittftttiif ,.MptH It art Is ii, e-l-tred, at .u lit Ji-re avt iiMe, t diryed bv tlrsi at Vbn at y. lr ilar sltti ntn, and KU tvt iftauil 'il lit it .y ,u ', ,: !

Washinotox, Nov. 88 The treas urer of tho United States, Hon. 1). N. Morgan, has submitted to Se.retary Carlisle the annual report on the op erations and condition of the treasury. The net ordinary revenues for the fiscal year were tis5,819,t)28.7s, an in crease of (3 ,881,844 54 over those of the year before. Tho net ordinary expenditures were K4H.I,77.554 4'J, an increase of (39,454,0 3.01. There was, the re f ire, a decrease of f7,572,77U.37 In the surplus revenues, reducing them to Vi4l,74 30..'. Including the public debt, the total receipts were 97J2,')71.2I4.71, and the total expendi tures fe773,OO7,0'J8.01) ' At the cud of September, 1888, the treasury held 8333.551,306 of gold, the largest amount ever reported. The largest amount 0 free gold ever held was 11218,818,253, in March of tho mime year. The lowest points touched since then were SlUO.HS.V.ot of total hold ings and 81,ri51,!v of free gold on October ID. In April for the first time since the gold reserve reached the sum of 1100,000,000, It fell below that fig ure, and on the 14th of that mouth the issue of gold cert ficatis was sus pended, as required by law. The loss of gold was caused partly by de ficiencies in the revenue, but chlclly by the presentation of legal tender notes for redemption in the coin. . For the seven months beginning with lust December, upwards of 881, 000,000 was dratvn out of the treasury in redemption of notes, aud tho gold reserve as reduced during the same period by ?2!J,0(iO,ooo. During tho next three months, with light redemptions and a deocieucy of 19,O00,CO0 in the revenues, the treasury lost $15,000,0 10 of gold, but the reserve ieli only 82,000,000. The amount of gold exported during the fis. al year was the largest ever taken out of the country or brought into it in any like period, being up wards of 8108,000,000. With the exception of an increase of $45,500,000 in the amoiint of treasury notes- issued in the purchase of silver bu lion, and a decrease of k'80,('8o,000 in the combined volume of gold cer tificates, therd has been no important change In the nubile debt According to the revised estimates the total stock of money of all kinds in the country on duns 30, wast3J3, 547,9i"7, or nearly $51,000,000 less than at tho same time last year. This con traction took place, notwithstanding the addition of 15,500,000 to the stock of silver and an increase of SB.ooo.noo in the outstanding bank notes, and was caused, of course, by the exports of gold. In July, however, there be gan a heavy return movement of the metal, supported by rapid exteusiou of the bank note circulation. Uy the end of September the stock of gold was restored to what it was when the exports began. The total Increase of the effective stock of money in tbe I'iree iiit.iill.s Mas no !t? thaaS'J.. OoO.ooO, bringing It up to a figure much above the highest ever lfur rem bed. The treasurer retnurks th t this sudden contraction and expansion within the spaca of eleven mouths atTords a striking illustrat on of the decree of flexibility poasessed by thi currency. The revised figures for the amount of money In circulation, that Is out side of the treasury, an June .10. place It at l.i'M,siil.s;',i, or about ui, im less than It was a year before. During tb. four months vn iing with, li tt.r there was an Increase of v,i.hsssi, a record altogether without p4rUll lu Ibe history nf the country.

The secre tary of agriculture, in his report just submitted to the president, regret the vague character of the depart ment organization, which he say "offer opulent opportunities for the exo cise of the most pronounced pa ternalism," but he adds that there aro many proper ways in which the Federal government may legitimately aerve the cause of agriculture. ? lie devotes considerable space to a review of what he regard as an anomalous partnership between the government of the United State and the govern ments of the res;ectlve states for th . conduct and encouragement of state agricultural colleges and exprriment tatlou. Referring to the snra appropriated for the nse of state experiment sta tions, he says: "This appropriation Is unlike any other publio money legislated out of the treasury of the United States because there i no officer of the United States authorized to direct, limit, control or audit Its teiUzed expenditures." .! has, during the first quarter of the fiscal year, reduced expenditure in comparison with tha corrsspon I lng quarter of last year by over $5d,00O. COINAGE AND THE TARIFf. The Senate May Ue Asked to Pot . Uuty on Silver Importations, -WiSHiNoroif, Nov. 28. Tboaa who have observed the difficulty of keep ing the silver question In the back ground wid not be surprised to learn, that this subject is destined to assert Its right to a hearing in connec tion with the tariff. It will come in tha shape of a proposition to put a du ty upon silver importations, not m the house, but in the senate ? if tha plans of those who have the matter in hand do not miscarry. The effort to secure this innovation will be made in connection with the metal schedule nd it will be counted with the it-m concerning le d and silver ore, Tha purpose of this movement Is two fold. It may prepare the way for free coin age of the American product of silver, about which so much bis been heard In recent years, and it is expected to prevent the Counterfeiting of the American dollar in other countries and the sending of counterfeit coin to tha United Statcx THE CARLIN PARTY FOUND.
