Report on Free Mat. The majority report of tne way and means committee on the so-called farmers' free list bill, submitted to the house to the house today by Chairman Underwood, Is a merger of democratic political argument and analysis of the proposed duty exemp tions. .

"Action on th agreement involve the ne cessity of further and Immediate action In removing a number of duties on Imports from other countries In order that Justice may be done to the great army of agri cultural producera, who, In tha Canadian agreement, are to have all the alleged pro tection removed from their products with out a corresponding or reciprocal removal of the protective duties most burdensome on the commodities they must purchase as necessary to sustain their lives and In dustries."
