Wasitisotoh, Nov. 28. 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I ho bounty on sugur is to be repealed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.

MR. 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

is in itself enoujh diaadvantage to
any section of tho country, without
further burdens in tariff taxes.
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

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,

tary of agriculture, in his report just
submitted to the president, regret
the vague character of the depart

ternalism," but he adds that there aro
many proper ways in which the
Federal government may legitimately
aerve the cause of agriculture. ? lie

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

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."

the fiscal year, reduced expenditure
in comparison with tha corrsspon I lng
quarter of last year by over $5d,00O.
