Payne's roport gives two roosoos
for revising the tariff at tho present
time. Tho first reason Is Unit nftor

slnco tho p'assago of tho Dlngloy aot
many foreign countries have adduced

rates and that tho present schedule
Is not sufficiently liYond In' Scopo (o
meet the changed conditions'.
Tho roport! relutCH to tho process
adopted by tho commltteo In obtain

the tariff. A reHol'uflmi for printing

roport, was adopted.

of this situation is that within the
