Wilflon's Tariff BUI.
Washington, Nov. 28. Chairman
Wilson of the committee on ways and
menus has Issued a statement in regard
to toe tarifl bill, the gist ot which It
contained in the following Introductory
paragraph: "The Democratio members
of the committee have fell aa no others
could feel the momentous responsibility
resting upon them, and the magnitude
of the ditllculty and the delicacy of the
duty assigned them, of framing a tariff
bill for a nation of 70,000,000 people. In
the bill tbey are called on to reform is
a vast labyrinthine system of class tax
ation, culminating thirty years' control
of the taxing poWor by a few interests
gathering into their train a host of pet
ty toll-gathering. It was carefully
framed to prevent aa long aa possible
what the author calls 'any monkeying
with the tariff,' by which he meant
-juy successiui euon ui mu peo
ple to eradicate the slnecuiei
which Us beueflcianea were permitted
Uvwrlce-tuereiu in-thelr own words and
own figures. It transferred to the free
list the proper aud fruitful revenue of
articles where most of the taxes paid
by the people were received by the gov
ernment, and greatly increased the
rates on those articles all or most of the
taxes on whloh paid by the people
went into private coflora, and it was
bolstered about bv many defenses, chief
among which are a swept and garnish.
ed treasury aud a swollen ana coio&sai
scale of permanent expenditures. Such
are the conditions that confronted us at
the outset of our work. The committee
htTd welcomed information and coun
f e! from every trustworthy source, and,
w.iilethey do not expect their bill to
escape Just criticism in all Ita details,
they do present it to the country as the
result of months of patient, anxious
fu. nd of an honest desire to dis
charge their duty, purged of all taint of
local and personal favoritism or prejuu
Ice. Ita main features are twe: First
The adoption, wherever It seems practi
cable, of ad valorem Instead of speclfled
duties. Becond-The freeing from taxes
of those great materials of industry
that lies at the basis of production."
THE SYSTEM PBOPOSKD.
The statement continue by saying
that the speclfled duties were oojecuuo
ttblebecauw tbey can be used to con
0i f.n-rouslv large and Inequitable
taxation, aud because iney ieau
readily to frauds,as weighers and couu
ters at the custom houses are cheaper
and more easily corrupted labor than
those under the ad valorem system.
Moreover the ad valorem system has
worked well in practice andlsessen-
fair. It defends me wus "B
materials on tue grouuu
on proaucuu"
The thin edge of American manufac
tures has entered every country, and
with free raw materials there is no
limit to the growtb)of our foreign trade
with incalculable advantage to labor
The statement continues by saylnc
that in every great line of manufacture
we can produce enough for homo con
sumption in six to nine months and we
can get rid of our Burplus only by ex
port; that trado cannot bo built up so
lone as raw materials aro taxed, hence
the formations of trusts to keep down
the production to the great detriment
of labor. The statoment then points
out the various Items of reductions In
the schedule, including sulphurlo acid,
to the free list because of Its general
use; castor oil from 85 to 35 cents per
gallon; Unseed oil from 35 to 15 cents
per gallon; pig lead from 2 cents to 1
per pound, thus reducing the price of
paints. It declares the increase of the
duty on opium to (12 per pound by the
McKlnley bill simply put the business
into the hands of the smugglers on the
Pacific coast. The present bill put It
where It Is thought it can bo collected.
The duty on common window glass Is
reduced more than half, which will
stimulate homo production, because it
has been produced under trust condi
tions. There is also a marked reduc
tion In plate glass.
SILVER WILL 11 K ItEAKD.
Silver will assert its right to a hear
ing in connection with the tariff. It
will come In the shape of a proposition
to put a duty on silver Importations.
In the senate, if the plans of those who
have the matter in hand do not mlscar
ry, au effort to secure this luuovation
will be made in connection with the
metal schedule, and it will bo coupled
with the item concerning lead and sil
ver-lead ores. The purpose of this
movement is two-fold. It may prepare
the way for the free coiuago of the
American product of silver, and it la
expected to prevent counterfeiting the

Little Napoleon's Word.
Cleveland, Nov. 28. Go vernor Me
Ktuley was aske'd his oplulon of the
Wilson tariff bill.- He said he had not
read the ubstract of tho measure ond
bud only glanced through Wilson's re
view af It. He bald It wussucu a meas
ure as lie nau expeciea, yet a nice
more sweeping thau he bad anticipated.
It was, however, In line with the ex
pressed determination of democracy to
ligunre the business Interests and the
workiug people of the country. The
objectionable feature of the bill was the
substitution of ad valorem for specific
duties. That alone ought to defeat the
entire measure. The ad valorem sys
tem, ho says, rests upon foreign valua
tion which is bard to deterinluo and It
puts a premium upon undervaluation
frauds.
Chinese Begistration.
Washington, Nov. 28. The treas

over the prospect of Chinese registra

the eve of an adjournment of the extra

DENOUNCED BY REED.
The Ex-Speakor Says It Is About as
Bad as Oduld Be.
Washington, Nov. 28. Ex-Speaker
Tom Reed, of the ways and means o m
mlttee, says:
"Of course It is very oasy for tho gen
llemen who prepared the bill to give
their views, since they havo been busi
ly engaged lu the wrrk for a number of
weeks, while tho first the minority
heard of tho bill was at 11 o'clock today.
Tho Democraoy has taken the lion's
share of the committee. It has done
this for a purpose, fur while the North
ern Democrats are represented upon
the committee, tbey are represented In
such a way that the South holds a very

much different to the average of the
whole country, it necessarily follows,
and absolutely, In fact, has followed,
that the bill Is abo-it as bad as could be
reasonably Imagined. This may not
be true with regard to every item, but
it Is certainly truo with regard to tne
most Important matters In the bill."
The Bill Explained by Breckinridge,
of Arkansas.
Washington, Nov. 28. Clifton R.
Breckinridge of Arkansas, one of tho
prominent majority members of tho
committee, explained the mln features
of tha bill as follews:
"Tno revouuo UlfllcuUy, caused by
thereooat panto, la temporary ouly, aud
It will doubtlfias bo provided for by u
temporary oxpedlent.
"W cannot generalize on this, but
taking matters at a mora normal state,
it may bo bo said that we must provide
for $50,000,000 or possibly less, lu wayB
not expressed lu tho new tariff. This
will follow very soon, in ttmo to he In
corporated with tho present bill. But
as this is not expeoted to bo of a charac
ter to materially u fleet manufacture or
trade, and as tho people wore extreme
ly anxious to know what wo proposed
doing in regard to tho tariff, we con
oluded to make tho uow bill public as
soon aa It was dually oomptotod. To a
very great extent wo have substituted
ad valorem for epeolfla dutlos.
"This seems Ind spnsablo If we are
to equalize tho tariffs and the burdens
of the people. Many of the Irregulari
ties whloh aro corrected are astonish
ing. Tho administrative tarl(! laws
have fouud,approval far more than was
expeoted, aud it Is believed that the
few changes proposed are in accord
with exporlonco aud will moot with
general support.
"We have struck out from tho tarlfr
all tbosa features that distinguished it
as a 'combine' and placed what Is usu-
ally known as 'raw materials,' suoh as
wool, coal, Iron oro, wood, and the like,
on the free list.
"A few chomloals are added to tho
free list, and tho cruder forms of manu

A CALM RBVIhW.
At a session of tho city council to
night the question of issuing more,
bonds will bo settled. There are not
many more warrants afloat now than
at the beginning of tho year, unless
street ImprovemonV warrants are
counted. The question whether the
Wurrauts outstanding should be funded
or uot Is tho vital one to be settled by
the couucil.
From tho standpoint of economy
there Is only way to do, and tha. Is to
fund tho warrauts outstanding, draw
ing eight per cent. Into six per cent,
bonds. Warrants outstanding repre
