NEW TARIFF BILL
Clinirmitn Dliijjloy's Synopsis ol'Im
i() it lint Chances to llu .Untie.
Washington, March 15. The date
when tin' new tariff bill Is to ko Into
I'fioct Is named In the preliminary
drafts submitted to the huuse today as
May 1, 1S!7.
At quite a late hour In the session ot
the house Chuliniun Dlnglcy presented
for reference to the committee on ways
und means, of which It was well under
stood lie was again to be chairman,
the bill upon which he and his Republi
can associates have been engaged for
many weeks.
Most of the essential details ot the
bill, except its administrative f.uitures,
I.uao already been made known In these
despatches, llut In discussing the gen
eral scope and purport of the bill to a
representative of the United Associat
ed Presses today. Chairman Dingley
gave an interesting synopsis of what
lie expected of It as follows:
- TO RA1SK REVENUE.
The bill has two purposes, namely, to
raise additional revenue und to encouiugo
the industilus of the United States.
on the basis of the importations ot the
lust llscal year, lliu bill would inert-use
the revenue ubout $112,000,000, divided
among the several schedules roughly as
follows:
(a) Chemical. $3,500,000; (b) crockery
and glass waie,-$4,000,000; (c) metals, $I,ikjii.
OJO; (dl wood, 51,750,000; (e) sugar, $21,750,
(i0l; (f) tobacco, $7,000,000; (g) agricultural,
$0,300,000; (h) Illinois, $l,bll,li00; (I) cotton,
51,700,000; (j) Jute, linen and hemp, $7,Hio.
IhKj; (k) 'wool, $17,500,000; (k) manuructuris
of wool, $27,000,000: (1) silks, $1, 500.000; (m)
pulp and paper, $53,000; (n) sundries, $0,200,
000. This estimate is on the supposition that
the imports of each class of goods would
be the sume the next llscal year us In
the fiscal year ended last .Iuiih. Hut as
the Imports of wool were three times cs
gioat in pounds as In lS'JJ. the committee
assume that their excessive Importation
would be largely reduced by the proposed
bill, although the fart that our domestic
Piodtictlon of wool has diminished h.OO.MiOO
pounds since 1&113 will necessitate the Im
portation of much more wool now than In
the latter year. Assuming that the Im
jiortntlohs or wool will full oil' at hnt
cue-third from those of i, on account or
anticipation Imports to avoid duties, we
plr.ee the Increased revenue riom this
source nt $11,000,000. Anticipating also
that the Imports or wools will fall off
neaily f0 per cent, from the ehoinious Im
ports of ISM, we estimate the Incieuscd
revenue from this source under the pio
posed rates at about $ll,oe0,000. Frojn su
gar we estimate $20,000,000 addltlonnl rev
enue. Anticipating a considerable falling
off of Imports of Havana tobacco because
of the revolution In Cuba we lediice the
estimates of additional revenue to lie de
rrved from the tobacco schedule to $1,000,
000. The remaining schedules would af
ford a revenue of about SO1, mills on the
basis of the Imports of h, but as thi'
would probably be diminished Imports at
some points, although the gradual restor
ation of business activity would offset
this by Increasing the consumption of Im
ported luxuries, we reduce the estimate
on these to $31,000,000. Thes would aggre
gate an addltlonul revenue of $S0.0o6.000
the first year. A reduction of five or ten
inflllons for contingencies, would leave
$70,000,000 or $7r,,O00,O00 as the probable
it, r reused revenue from this bill the first
year, which would undoubtedly rise to
$100,000,000 the second year.
ABOVE l'ltOUAIibH RESULTS.
These estimates are below rather than
nbovo the probable result unless a consid
er ahlo dolay In the enactment of the bill
should greatly cnlnige the opportunity
for Imports of articles on which duties
are to be raised particularly wool and
woollens for speculative purposes. Un
doubtedly any delay beyond the first of
May In placing the bill on the statute book
would result In a large loss of revenue.
This Increase of revenue Is secured by
transfer! Ing wool, lumber, crude opium,
argols, paintings and statuary, straw or
naments, straw mattings, burlaps and
various other articles from the free list
of the present law to the dutiable lists,
by' Increasing the duty on woolens to
compensate the manufactures for the
duty placed on wool; by raising the duly
on sugar about three-fourths of a cent
per pound In order to encourage the pro
duction of sugar In this country, which It
Is believed can be done and thus give our
fanners a new crop which we now import
mainly abroad; by increasing the duty on
agricultural productions atfected by
Canadian competltiun and on Hue cotton
goods, some advanced manufactures of
Iron and steel, manufactures of jute, llax

and hemp, In order to encourage these
und other industries here and especlallj
by Increasing duties on stich luxuiles as I
llquois, tobacco, silks und luces, etc,
"An a rule the rules of duties proposed
are between the intes of tnrlrr ot l&'.it
und the tut Iff of iSfll, such reduction of (
rates from the former law, preserving
the protective principle being made feas
ible by clinnged conditions,
IRON AND STEEL.
"The Iron and steel schedule Is changed
very little from that schedule In the tar
iff of ISiil. the chunge being entirely In
the more advanced articles. The sumo is
true of tlio cotton schedule. In the tigrl-
cultural, wool and glass and citrthware ,
schedules alone arc the duties of the I
act ot 1S!)0 fully restored us a rule, and .
In a few cases Increased, witli the view !
of amply protecting und encouraging our
farming Interests at every possible point.
While the duty on clothing wool Is larger
in proportion to tlio foreign value than
on manufactured articles, yet It Is
thought desirable for the publlo Interest
and for our ngticulturo that wo should
produce that prima necessity for our
selves. The duty on carpet wools, as well
as upon many other nrtlcles In Imposed
mainly for revenue. Tlio Irritation caus
ed by the use ot n few wools heretofore
classed us carpet wools, being Used for
clothing .purposes bus been remedied by
transferring such wools to tlio clothing
wool classes, but the duty on clothing
wool bus been restored to the into of the
act of 15,90.
"In framing this new tariff the aim has
been to make the duties specific or ut
least partly specific, so far as possible,
to protect the revenue and also protect
our own Industries. This has been done
in response to tlio wishes of the better
class of Importers, as well as of the ad
ministrators of the law mid or our own
producers. The very general substitution
of spccllle duties, even whole they uro
only the equivalent of existing ad valor
em will of Itself increase the revenue und
strengthen the protection afforded to our
Industries.
RECIPROCITY PROVISIONS.
"The reciprocity provisions of the net
of lsHO have not only been fully restored,
but this policy ban been extended by
adding to sugar, tea, coffee and hides as
articles on which to make reciprocal
agreements, such articles us champagne,
brandy, wines, nrtlllelal und natural min
eral waters, chicle, argols and silk laces.
In adding these articles the reciprocity
provision Is strengthened greatly by pro
viding for a reduction of duties on them
to countries greatly by providing for a
reduction.
"The bill us u whole has the unanimous
support of the Republican members of
the ways and means committee, and will,
It is hoped, receive the support not only
of Republicans but of others who believe
thut revenue should be at least equal to
expenditures, with the conviction thut
in adjusting duties to secure such rev
enue it Is u wise policy to encourage
home production and manufactures of
our people upon whose purchasing power
depends the market tor our products."
CHARLES BROWN AWAKES
He States Thut His Right Name is D. J.
Tclfair-"A Strange Slory of
Adventure.
Olean, March to. A strange mystery
of double percunulity. robbery and con
spiracy has come to light here, late
last night u man, who has been known
as Churles Uruwn, awoke at the Kmer-
gency hospltul and niiniiunced thut Ills
name was David J. Telfair and that he
knew nothing of lllu existence of his
former self.
On December 2:1, 1SHG. there wandered
Into Uleau a man who could not. re
member ills name when he applied at
police headquarters for nssltancc. All
that he could recall was that he had
been In a hospital In some largo city.
Chief Hart mivti hjni lodging. Several
days later tho man remembered that
he had been In a Chicago hospltul. Iie
yond this his memory did not take him.
For some time past Brown has been
conducting a loan and real estate
agency in the Musonlc temple here and
rooming at No. 104 Klghth street. When
he retired Thursday night he appeared
to be In usual health, llut he did nut
awake Friday nor Friday night. He
was taken to thu hospital, where lie
came to himself.
"This Is different," lie said. "Where
Is Allen?"
From other remarks It was evident
that he thought ho was In a Chicago
hospital. He was very weak, but after
taking some stimulants he became
brighter and seemed to be In his right
mind. He told u. strange story.
IMPRISONED IN AFRICA.
He said his name Is David ,T. Telfair
and thut ho Is f,0 years old. He and six
other American were extensively en
gaged In diamond mining In South Af
rica, near Johannesburg;. At the time
of the Jameson raid they were impris
oned, and he thinks his partners were
killed. One of his Zulu guards, whom
he had frequently befriended, helped
him to escape.
He was three weeks reaching the
coast, where he took a Portuguese ves
sel for Lisbon, whence ho sailed for
New York. After staying there a few
days he went to Chicago In search of a
John O'Brien, who was a member of
the mining company, who had re
mained in America. He hud been in
Chicago but three days, stopping at a
lodging house on State street, near
Twelttb.
The evening of the third day he went
out to Jackson park to hear the music.
While coining out of the park he wut
seized by three men, who clapped some
thing over his mouth to prevent an out
cry, and tried to bundle him Into a
hack. He struggled and was struck a
crushing blow in the back of the bend.
That was the lust he could remember
until he came to his senses here.
When Brown, or Telfair, as he now
calls himself, realizes his situation, he
felt for a belt which he said had con
tained diamonds to the value of $50,000.
It was gone. He did not recognize
Chief Hart, although having seen him
dally for three months. He says he
knew Barney Barnato, Cecil Rhodes
and John Hayes Hammond In South
Africa.
Chief Hart has been Investigating
the case and has already learned
enough to make him believe the story
the man tells. He bus discovered evi
dences of his having owned property in
the cities he tells of, and learns that
he was connected with a mining com
puny In South Africa.
Awful l'.peiiciico With llcint Dis
ease, That Dr. Agm-w's Cure for tho Heart
works like inagle, und cures Is proven
by the testimony of Mr. 1,. J. Law, To
lunto, Can. "I wub so sorely troubled
with heart disease thut 1 was unable
for IS months to lie down in bed lest 1
smother. After taking one- dose of Dr.
Agnew's Heart Cure, 1 retired und slept
soundly. 1 used one bottle und tho
tiouble bus not returned."

The increased uctivlty was accompanied
by higher range of prices for the leading
