The re-appearance of the grip calls to
mind the experience of J as. O. ’J ones,
publisher of the Leader. MeXia, Texas.
He was sick in bed for ten days With
the grip during its prevalence a year or
two ago. Later in the season he had a
second attack. He says: ‘fIn the lat-
ter case I used Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy and with considerable suc-
cess. ' I think only being in bed a little
over two days. The second attack, I
am satisfied would have been equally
as bad as the first but for the use of this
remedy.” It should be borne in mind
that the grip is much the same as a very
severe cold and requires precisely the
same treatment. When you Wish .to

this remedy a fair trial. 25‘and 500

WEEKLY - NORWALK
THE WWHEWRT
Tariff Bill as Agreed Upon
By the Democrats.
Not a Radical Measure—Temperate
Reform for the Present is Urged—-
Not Purgcd of all Protection Nor
Free of all Error.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 20. -—The majority
report of the ways and means committee
on the Wilson tariff bill has been submit-
ted to the full committee.
The report says in part: The ma.-
jority of the committee has decided,
as free men must always decide, that
the power of taxation has no law-
ful or constitutional exercise except
for providing revenue for the support of
government. Every departure from this
principle is a departure from the funda-
mental principles of popular institutions
andinevitably works out a gross inequality
in the citizenship of a country.
The bill on which the committee has
expended such patient and anxious labor
is not offered as a complete response to
the mandate of the American people. It
no more professes to be purged of all pro-
tection than to be free of all error in its
complex and manifold details. However
we may deny the existe nce of any legis-
lative pledge, or of the right of any cou-
gress to make such pledge, for the contin—
uance of duties that carry with them
more or less acknowledged protection,
we must recognize that great interests do
exist whose existence and prosperity it is
no part of our reform either to imperil or
to curtail. we believe and we have the
warrant of our own past experience for
believing,that reduction of duties will not
injure but give more abundant life to all
our great manufacturing industries, how-
ever mucb they may dread the change.
In dealing with the tariff question as
with every other long-standing abuse that
has interwoven itself with our social or
industrial system, the legislator must
always remember that, in the beginning,
temperate reform is safest having in itself
the principle of growth. .
The report reviews at length the his-
tory of tariff legislation in the United
States, and continues.
The Important. Changes.
It is neither necessary nor practicable in
this report to specify the particular re-
ductions we have made upon the long list
of articles that still remain in the dutiable
list. The tables which have been pre-
pared for use of members of the house
give full and minute information as to
these changes. Afew only of the most
important need be here enumerated.
1n the earthenware schedule, we have
,mado substantial reductions still leaving
rates as high as were deemed necessary in
the war .tarifi. In common window
glass where close combinations have kept
up the prices to consumers under a scale
of duties averaging more than 100 per
cent., we have made a reduction of
about one—half.
Iron and Steel.
Upon the larger sizes of plate glass
where the duties were even higher We
have made a. reduction of about one third.
In the iron and steel schedule beginning
with free ore and a duty of 22 1-2 per
cent. on pig iron we have reported a scale
of duties considerably below those of the
existing law, graduated according to the
degree of manufacture, which should bring
benefit to the consumer without calling
for any halt in the imperial progress of
that great industry in our country.
As all shippers and especially Ameri-
can farmers are vitally interested in
cheapening the cost. of transportation,
rates of duty upon steel rails should be
adjusted so as to protect them from mo-
nopoly prices and monopoly combinations.
Upon tin plate duty has been gauged with
reference to the revenue it will bring into
the treasury and the difference. between
this duty and that upon the black plate
has been lessened with a view to discour-
nge what- may not unjustly be called the
bogusimlustry of making American tin
plate by the mere dipping in this country
of imported black plate.
Against Sugar Bounty.
In the sugar schedule we should have
4 pr {nu-red to wipe out at asingle executive
is: Mike the. existing bounty system. We
believe it to be contrary to the spirit of
our institutions and can conceive of no cir-
cumstances under which we should have
advocated or approved its introdution into
our laws. We have found it existing
there, as we find it virtually existing , in
every other schedule of the tariff, and deal-
ing with it in the more open and offensive
forms, as we have dealt with other sched-
ules where large property interests are at
stake. we have reported a provision for its
repeal by such stages as shall gradually
obliterate it from our laws, while permit-
ting those who have invested large means
under the expectatioii of its continuance,
reasonable time in which they may pre-‘
pare to take their stand with the other in.
dustries of the country.
Tobacco Leaf.
Duties upon tobacco leaf suita-
ble for cigar wrappers, which were
so enormously advanced by the act
of 1890, have been placed at such
figures, as after careful investigation
were deemed likely to produce most rev-
enues to the treasury, but this object has
alone decided the rates; their amount is no
high‘ that no demostic producer need
claim that there is not abundant protoc-
tlon and to spare for his product in them.
Agricultural Products;
Of the staple agricultural products, in-
cluding meats and provisions, we are such
large exporters and must continue to be
such large exporters that any duties upon_
them are useless for protection and fruit-
less for revenue, and generally can only be
imposed for the purpose of deluding the
farmers into the belief that they are re-
ceiving seine consideration and benefit
under the tariff, although the prices of
their products are fixed in the World’s
market in competition with like products
produced by the cheaper labor of the
world. Recognizing that the American
former has been, through many years, the
”Bat—id the'GAzn'rrn. a;
GAZETTE.
patient victim of the protective system;
that he has been induced to supportit un-,
der the delusive promise that by immense
present sacrifices he was buying for himself
a home market which is further from him
to-day than ever before, we have aimed
to secuure for him such relaxation of bur-
dens as will permit him to enjoy more of
the fruits of his own hard and faithful labor.
To the farmers of the country we have
given untaxed agricultural implements
and binding twine. As cotton bagging can
be. used but once, we have thought it but
just to extend the drawback system to
such bagging made of jute butts when
used upon our exported co ttou.
Spirits. ‘
In the schedule of spirits, wine and other
beverages the changes made are slight and
with the view to production of increased
revenue tax upon the same,‘ while the
duty of fifty cents a gallon on still wines
imported in casks is retained with 9. pro-
viso limiting the highest duty on such
wines to 100 per cent.
“I001.
The placing of wool upon the free list
has justified a very substantial reduction
of the duties on woolen goods. Of the
woolen tariff, it may be said, as was truly
said of the woolen tariff of 1828: “That is
the masterpiece of the ultrwprotectionists
and exhibits all the worst features of the
system.” Although the imports of 1892
show an average duty of 95 80-100 per
cent. in the woolen schedule, it cannot be
said that woolen manufacture has. been a
flourishing industry in this country, or
that the American wool grower has se-
cured remunerative prices for his wool.
\Vith free wool we anticipate great bene-
fits to the consumer of woolen goods, a
revival of the woolen industry, such as
that which followed the tarifl of1858, and
a steadier‘ and better market for the
American wool grower. The present tar—
iff is not only cruelly exhorbitant, but is
so adjusted as to bear most heavily upon
the poorer people; and recognizing that
the duties which We would place at
present upon competing foreign fabrics
‘ must be somewhat higher than a perma
nent schedule ought to be, we have pro-
vided for this gradual decrease, believing
that in a few years our manufacturers
will assert their skill and ability to manu-
facture from the world’s wool. In the
carpet schedule 'we have not felt is neces-
sary to adopt this sliding scale because
that branch of our textile industry has
long been one of the most flourishing of
all our manufactures.
Average Rate of Duties.
The average rate of duties. levied under
the existing law upon the dutiable goods
imported in 1892 was 48. 71 per cent.
Had the duties proposed in the present
bill been levied upon that year’s importa-
tion of dutiable goods, the average rate
including those we have transferred to the
free list, would have been 30. 31 per cent.,
but so many of the rates of, the present
law are really prohibitory it is impossible
to say what its real rate of taxation is,
yet it is safe to affirm that it is much
higher than any import tables will dis-
close. It must be understood, however,
that the rates mentioned can only be
called closely approximate and not mathe-
matically accurate, but they illustrate
the extent of the reductions proposed by
the present bill, and the relief which it
will give to the taxpayer and especially to
the laborers of this country.
Necessities of the Treasury.
It may be said that we are not justified
in making so large a reduction in revenue
at a time when government receipts and
expenditures can no longer be balanced,
and when some new sources of temporary
revenue must be sought for. We have
been compelled to retain some articles
upon the dutiable list and to leave some
duties higher than We desired be cause of
the present necessities of the treasury.
Ad Valorem for Specific.
A most important change in the bill
proposed from the present law will be
found in the general substitution of ad
valorem for specific duties. This must
always be the characteristic of a revenue
tarifl levied upon a large rangeof articles,
especially when they include the plain
necessaries of life.
Reciprocity Repeal.
It is the purpose of the present bill to
repeal in toto sec. 3 of the tariff act of
Oct. 1, 1890, commonly but most erron-
eously called its reciprocity provision.
That act placed sugar, molasses, coffee,
tea and hides on the free list, but author-
ized the president, should he be satisfied
that the government of any other country
producing such articles imposed duties
upon the agricultural or other products of
the United States which he might deem
reciprocally unequal and unreasonable, to
suspend the provision under which these
articles were admitted into this country
free. This section has brought no appre-
ciable advantage :to American exporters,
is not in intention or eflect a provision
for reciprocity, but for retaliation. It in-
flicts penalties upon the American people
by making them pay higher prices for
these articles, if the fiscal necessities of
other nations compel them to levy duties
upon the products of the United States,
which in the opinion of the president, are
reciprocally unequal and unreasonable.
Under the provisions of this section presi-
dential proclamations. have been issued
imposing retaliatory duties upon the five
above mentioned articles, when coming
from certain countries. These proclama-
tions have naturally led to ill feeling in
the countries thus discriminated against
and in the case of several of them have
led to diplomatic correspondence in which
they have claimed with apparent justice
that such discrimination against them
were violations of our solemn treaty obli-
gations. '
Since 1846, we have had a treaty with
the republic of New Granada, now 001-
ombia, in which each country mutually
pledges itself not to grant any particular
favor to other nations in respect to com-
merce and navigation, which _shall not
immediately become common to the other
party, who shall enjoy the name freely
if concession was freely made, oron allow—
ing the same compensation it the conces-
sion was conditional. Under the presi-
dent’s proclamation we have been impos-
ing duties on hides and coffee, the pro-
ducts of Colombia introduced into thin
country, while ‘like' products of other
countries have been admitted free. '
