OIVK.N TO THE PUBLIC. \\ ashinoton, X<»v. 28.—After weeWs of preparation, inro)r; n <r an exhaustive study of the subject from a democratic point of view, the tariff bill is at last completed and has been given to the

public.

Mr. Wilson, the chairman of the committee, has prepared the following statement, which was given out with the bill: The democratic members of the committee on ways amt mcuus have felt as none others could feel the momentous responsibility rastluK upon them and the surpassing magnitude, difficulty and delicacy of the duly assigned them of framing a tarlll bill for a nation of 70,000,uoi) people. The bill they were caliod on to reform Is a vast and labyrintlilan system of class luxation the culmination of eighty years'control of the taxing power by a few great Interests, gathering on to their train a host of petty tollgatherers It was carefully framed to prevent as long as possible what its author called “any monkeying with the tarUT." by which he meant any successful effort of the noople to undo or to lessen the boun ties which its beneficiaries were permitted to write therein in their own words and their own figures It transferred to the free list proper and fruitful revenue articles, where most of the taxes paid by the people were received by their government, and greatly Increased the rates of those articles where all or most of the taxes paid by ihe people went into private coffers And it was burlhened about by many defenses, chief among w hich are a swept and garnished treasury and a swollen and colossal scale of permanent expenditure. Such are the conditions that confronted us at the threshold of the work. The committee has welcomed information and counsel from every trustworthy source, and while it does not expect Its bill to escape Just criticism in all of Its details Hs does present It to the country as the result of months of patient, anxious toil and of an honest desire to discharge Us duty, purged of all taint of local and personal favoritism or prejudice. Main Features of the Measure. Its main features are two. First, the adop tlon whenever It seemed practicable of ad valorem instead of specific duties; secondly, the freeing from taxes of those great materials Of industry that lie at the basts of production Specific rates of duty are objectionable for these reasons: They freijuently conceal a rate of taxation too enormous to be submitted to if expressed in ad valorem terms, as the duty of 8 cents on 100 pounds on salt In bulk, which amounts to over 80 per cent, on a common neces sary of life. They always bear heavily on the Common article used by the masses and lightly on the expensive article consumed by the rich, as a tax of S30 on all houses would be little or nothing ou the great mansion and very high on i the humble home. Contrary to common belief specific duties ] lead to greater frauds in administration, for I Counting anu weighing at the custom-house | are done by the cheapest and most easily corrupted labor, while ad valorem rales ( are assessed by the best paid and most ! responsible appraisers. The ad valorem system has worked well In practice, Is essentially the fair system because It Is a tax upon the actual value of the article, and was declared by Mr. Clay himself to be In theory and according to every sound principle of Justice entitled to the preference, and vindicated by long trial Large Free List. The boldest Innovation of the bill Is its large free list of raw materials Taxes upon production are double w rungs They gather and accumulate on the consumer of the finished product They hurt labor by narrowing the market for what It produces Coal and Iron are the foundations of modern Industry. Material progress Is measured by the amount of their consumption. No other country can supply them as abundantly or cheaply as wo can No possible comp- titiun can .nterfere with our own producers a few miles in the interior of I the country Remoteness from the sources of supply is In itself enough dlsadvan tape to any nectlon of the country, without further burdens In tariff taxes Untaxed ores, coal. lumber, wool and other fibers must immensely stimulate production in certain | ai ls of our country. The thin edge of American manufactures has entered every country. With release from taxes upon their materials there Is no limit to the grow th ot our foreign trade. This will more than compensate the home producers of raw material, who, tar Iff or no tariff, control all the interior of the country, for any apprehended loss of markets anywhere along the seaboard, its incalculable advantage to labor is apparent. In every great line of manufactures we can produce in six months to nine months enough for our heme market We can get rid uf our surplus only by foreign trade. As long us we have taxes on the materials of industry we cannot build up that trade Hence, the other alternative of trusts to keep down production to the home market The workingman can see whether his Interest is with a system that represses production and robs him of i mploymeut or with a system that gives natural aud healthy play to production and emancipates him from trusts and like com blnaiions of capital Important t liusges. As to the details of the bill, 1 w ill briefly reoapjtulate the salient changes of the several Schedules in the chemical schedule we have transferred to the free list uulte a number of articles used In manufactures, the most Important ot which Is sulphuric acid, one ot tbo corner-stones of all chemical industry The duty on castor oil Is reduced from 85 cents to35 cents pert gallon, and the duty on linseed oil, which was secretly raised to 32 cents by the conference committee on the McKinley bill after each house bad openly votod for a lower duly, we put at l.> cents a gallon. Pig lead being reduced from 2 to 1 cent a pound lead 'inIn ts are corresiiohdingly reduced. The McKinley bill Increased the duty on opium prepar' d for smoking to 112 a pound In the vain hope of lessening its importation The custom house officers on the Pacific coast declare that this increase uf duty has simply plaeed In the hands of smugglers the bringing In of opium to the demoralization of the customs service and the loss of over half a million revenue The duty proposed is believed to be collectable and will put the traffic under gov ernment control and supervision. In the pottery schedule substantial reductions are made. Plain white ware ts dropped from the Ugh schedule In which it mysteriously crowded itself. Decorated ware is reduced from flu to 45 per coni; undecorated from

6fi to 40.

In common w indow glass, where close combinations have kept up the prices to consumers under the shelter of duties averaging 100 per cent., a reduction of more than one half has been made In all the larger sizes. There la no doubt that these rates will permit a very healthy growth of the Industry here. In plate glass reductions are made, the largest sizes from 50cents to 30 cents per square foot Of ■llvered from 00 to 35 cents. Iron and Steel. In the Iron and steel schedule we begin with free ore The discovery of immense deposits of Bessemer ores In the lake region and of foundry ores tn Alabama lias rapidly swept us to the leadership of the world In the production of iron and steel, and brought near at hand our undisputed supremacy In the groat field of manufactures The use of steam shovels reduces the cost uf mining to a point where the wages paid “natural labor" are irrel evant Pig iron we reduce from (172 per ton, which Is from 50 to 90 per cent., to a uniform duty of 22(4 per cent, a rate somewhat higher In proportion than the rest of the sebed uie because of cheap freight rates on

foreign pig. it being a favorite freight ou westward voyages Steel rails we reduce from 13.44 per ton, now 75 per cent, to 25 per cent As the pool which has kept up prices so many years In this country seems now disorganized, the other producers will soon need protection more against Mr. Carnegie at Pittsburgh and Mr. Stirling at Chicago than against foreign producers The residue of the schedules vary from 25 to 3n per cent, wood screws being put at the latter figure. Beams and girders are 35 per cent because of the waste in cutting beams and the variety of lengths and sizes, and of the frequent necessity of changing the rolls in making beams and girders because of the Irregular quantities and lengths and sizes of orders Tin Plates. Tin plates are reduced to 40 per cent, a little more than one-half of the McKinley rate This is a revenue duty and at the same time enough to permit any existing mills to live and flourish. Cheaper grades of pocket cutlery are 35 per cent Higher grad s 45 Table cutlery Is put at 35 percent These are very substantial reductions from present rates, which, being specific, reach In some grades of pocket cutlery as high as 90 per cent, but with release of taxes on raw materials, especially on pearl and ivory for handles. seems ample. Hoth copper ores and pig copp- r are made free, we being large exporters of the latter and the duty serving only to enable the producers to soil higher to our people than to foreigners Nickel Is free. Lead ore has a small duty of 15 per cent Pig lead 1 cent a pound. Silver lead ores are restored to the free list Unmanufactured lumber is tree Manufactured is put at 2.'> per cent, with the proviso that if any export duties are charged on foreign lumber it shall be admitted only a the rates now existing Sugar. Sugar bus been a difficult subject to deal with Raw sugar was transferred to the free list by the McKinley bill because nearly all the taxes paid on It went to the public treasury. A strong desire among some members of the committee was to pul an ad valorem duty of 20 to 25 per cent on It and abolish the bounty at once. After much consideration it was decided to reduce by one-half the duty on refined sugar and to repeal the bounty one-eighth each year, leaving raw sugar untaxed us at present The Tobacco Schedule. In the tobacco schedule those rales were sought whicb would bring most revenue The present taxes of *2 and »2.75 a pound on wrapping hat have blotted out any small establishments and actually impaired revenue. We make the rates II aud 11.25 per pound on w rapper leaf and 35 cents and 50 cents per |xiund ou tiller tobacco, unstemmed and stemmed In each. Manufactures of tobacco are put at 40 cents. Cigars are reduced from ?4.50 per pound and 25 per cent, ad valorem to 13 per pound and 25 per cent, which Is believed to be the most productive revenue rate and ts higher than the law of 1883 Live animals are pul at 20 per cent. Barley Is reduced from 30 cents a bushel to 20 per cent, which is about 12 cents. UrcadslufTs, of which we are Immense exporters, are made free except when imported trom countries putting duties on our like prod ucts, In which case the duty Is 20 per cent Fresh vegetables, fruits, eggs and like foodproducts are untaxed for the benefit of our own consumers, largely the working people of the cities. Suit In bulk is free; in packages the salt Is tree, but the covering dutiable at rates prescribed for like articles Tariff on Spirits. The tanfl on spirits is put at double the internal revenue rales on like spirits and some slight reduction is made on still wines, malt liquors, ginger ale and like beverages In the Interest of Increased revenue. The duty on sparkling wines Is likewise slightly reduced for the same reasons, that on champagne being.put at <7 per dozen quarts as against 48 in the McKinley bill and tfl in the law of 1883 In cotton manufactures substantial reductions are made, especially on cheap cloths and prints, and the existing system of taxing by count of threads in the square inch is retained. Hemp and flax are made free; dressed line of hemp aud flax. 1 cent and IVt cent respectively. Burlaps and cotton and grain bagging are put at 15 per cent, but when Imported for covering of articles to be exported arc duty free. Wool In Free. Wool is made free. This takes the stilts from under woolen manufacturers and begets the hope that they may recover from the languishing condition in which they have been for a quarter of a century and that we may get woolen goods at reasonable rates instead of at duties that on the common grades frequently reach 100 per cent, and in cases two or tbree times that merciless figure. Cloths and dress goods are put at 40 per cent, clothing at 45 per cent, rates higher than the committee desired, but deemed temporarily necessary because our manfactures have so long been excluded from twothirds of the wools of the world that they will have to learn the art of manufacturing at free wool A sliding scale Is therefore added by which the ra tos In. the woolen schedule are, to

come down five points wfiE the lapse of five

years

Revenues Reduced 14.50,000,000.

The above Is a rapid summary of the chief changes made by the proposed bill, and will give a satisfactory idea, I believe, of its general structure It is estimated that it will reduce revenue on the basis of importations

Governor Talks Unncernlng the

Wilson Tariff Bill.

Cleveland, O., Nov. 2a—-Gov. McKinley arrived in Cleveland Monday evening. He was asked his opinion of the Wilson tariff bill. He said he had not read the abstract of the measure, and had only glanced through Mr. Wilson’s review of it. He said the bill proposed very sweeping reductions in the existing tariffs. It was such a measure as he had expected, yet a little more sweeping than he had anticipated. The objectionable feature of the bill, Mr. McKinley said, was the substitution of ad valorem for specific duties. That alone ought to defeat the entire measure. The ad valorem system, he said, rests upon the foreign valuation, which is hard to determine, and it puts a premium upon undervaluation frauds. All the leading nations of the world, he declared, had abandoned the ad valorem system of levying tariff duties, for the reason that the valuation is made thousands of mites from any port of entry and cun never be depended upon.

AN AWFUL TRAGEDY. Clinton Jordan Kllln Four l*«rAO!iA and IfiiuMftlf Near Seymour, Ind. Seymour, Ind., Nov. 27.—Clinton Jordan late Saturday night shot and killed Josiah Foster, his father-in-law, Mrs. Foster and their daughter, Miss Cora Foster. He then stabbed his wife, who was trying to defend her parents, and finally shot and killed himself. Four years ago Clinton Jordan, 21 years old, married a daughter of Josiah Foster, with whom he has never lived happily. Last week they separated and she returned to the home of her father. Saturday night Jordan met his father-in-law and accompanied him home, contrary to the wishes of the latter, xx’ho feared trouble. Jordan promised to behave, but soon after his arrival at Foster’s home he began a quarrel. Foster then ordered him out of the house, when Jordan fired at the old man, but missed him, the ball striking Miss Cora Foster aged 17, in the head, killing her instantly. His second shot hit Foster in the head and he fell, but he soon rose and ran about half a mile to the home of another son-in-law, William Powell, where he fell and lingered until late in the afternoon, when he died. Jordan then turned his revolver toward Mrs. Foster, his mother-in-law, shooting her in the neck, the ball ranging downward and causing a wound from which she died. Jordan’s tvife attempted to defend her mother, and he stabbed her repeatedly in the breast, hands and face, and ended by shooting her through the head. Jordan then opened his vest, and placing the revolver against his breast sent a ball through his heart He dropped dead, falling across the dead body of his wife. The pistol was placed so close to his breast that Jordan's clothing caught tire and was literally burned off him, the skin dropping from his body when it was lifted. PROSPECT OF A LONG FIGHT. No Settlement of Ihe Lchtifh Valley Trouble In Sight. YVTlkksbarke. Pa., Nov. 25.—The fight between the Lehigh Valley railroad and its employes is now on to a finish. The men begin to realize this for the first time. There was hope all along that a compromise might be affected, but now that hope has vanished. Chairman Uice has issued a communication to the effect that negotiations for a conference are ended, owing to the demand for the reinstatement of all employes connected with the strike. Buffalo, N. Y., Nov. 25.—Following ten trains of merchandise, sent eastward by the Lehigh Friday forenoon and containing 117 cars, three more freights were dispatched this afternoon. This was considered to be a great day’s work, and the officials said that it would hardly be policy to send I out any more until the ability to move i them from Sayre was manifested. The Lehigh office in this city has received information that Friday night at about 8 o’clock engine No. 6U4 blew up. Engineer Cooley, Conductot Bender and fireman, name unknown, are seriously injured. The two whose names are given are | not expected to live. They were j nonunion men, lately hired. Their ad-! dresses are unknown. The accident I took place about 38 miles this side of ^ Sayre. The engine was pulling an eastbound freight. TERRIBLE REVENGE.
