THESE ABE FREE. The Wilson Tariff Hill Given Out by the Ways and Means Com mittee. A Long.lJgt of Articles 011 Which There Vill No Duty Col lected. Mr. Wilson Makes a Statement Con cerning the Hill and Its Aims. WASHINGTON, NOV. 28.—The new Democratic tariff bill has been given ont to the public, and its provisions fulfill every expectation of those who have predicted that it would be a radical measure. In many respects it is a sur prise, even to the Democratic members of congress, as it is unprecedented in many of its provisions. The free list is of that liberal scope sufficient to satisfy the most radical ad vocates of reform, and the repudiation of the principle of reciprocity, which has been the pride of the Republicans and the bete noir of the Democrats for a number of years, is Decinlve nnl Ei»|liatlo. The United States tariff bill, in addition to the reforms it makes in the customs laws, will necessitate readjustment of treaties with those South American countries which enjoy practical or theo retical reciprocity with the great Amer ican republic of the northern hemi sphere. The bounty on sugar, which was to be so promptly repealed, is instead, to be repealed by easy gradations, and will not reach its conclusive effect until after the present century. The committee met at 11 o'clock, and after the roll call, Chairman Wilson at once laid the bill before the entire com mittee. On and after March 1.1884, the following articles are to be added to the free list: Bacon and hams, beef, mutton and pork, and meats of all kinds prepared or preserved, not specially provided for in this act.

THE CHIXKSK PROBLEM. Still Queatlon Whetlinr or Not the Celestials Will Keg inter. WASHINGTON, NOV. 28.—The treasury department is .somewhat concerned over the prospect of the Chinese registration fender the new law bearing upon that lubject which passed upon the eve of the adjournment of the extra session, and under which the department has just issued its regulations. The suppo sition is that the Chinese will comply with the law, but 110 one can say definitely until the experiment is tried. The officials themselves are as much in the dark as any one else. The only ex perience they have had with the Chinese is against tho supposition. Almost a month has elapsed since the new law went into effect, and no test of the temper of the Chinese has been made under its provisions. Tho instructions of the department under which the fed eral officials arc to act have now been prep :red, and it is to lie presumed that no great time will be permitted to elapse before the United States marshals and other officials throughout the country will be informed JUS to the course, they are expected to pursue towards the Chinese. If they should again refuse to comply with the law the situation would be awkward. Estimates made by the treasury and judicial departments lias placed the cost of deportation of all the Chinese in the country at some thing over $10,000,000, and there is little money available for the purpose. A Puzzling Question. Congress will, in all probabilities, be in session when the vexed points shall be determined, and it could of course, be appealed to for an appropriation. But with the treasury receipts falling behind the expenditures at the rate of $1,000,000 per month, the question of getting the money would still be a puzzle, and it would doubtless require some hard pressing to get the necessary funds ap propriated. The Pacific coast represent atives, who have taken the greatest in terest in the question say, however, that the money would be forthcoming, and that there would be no more temporizing. It is said that intelligent Chinamen generally did not object to tii3 registration, and generally look upon it as a personal protection, but the bulk of them will be controlled by their employers now as formerly. They do not as a race take kindly to having their photographs taken for the purpose, but there is 110 reason to sup pose that this objection will long stand in the way of compliance with the law, if the Six Companies and their attorneys be not obdurate. The Mrssage Not Half Done. WASHINGTON, NOV. 28.—The presi dent's message is not half finished and he is denying himself to all callers to work ujion it. He does not come into his office except on cabinet days, Tues days and Fridays, and works late into the night. Heretofore President Cleve land has usually allowed himself six weeks to work on his message. It is supposed that he has deferred the work on it this year to allow time for some development in the Hawaiian matter. The time for congress to convene is so near that no longer delay is possible. It is therefore thought probable that Ha waiian matter will be treated later in a special message. Iowa Will Case. FAIKFIELD, la., Nov. 28.—A contest has been filed in the case of the will of Mrs. Mary McElpinney, which distrib utes |250,000 in money and property to numerous heirs, but leaves only $2,000 each to the contestants, who are the children of a daughter. The case will be along and bitter one. The Dreain of the Vatican. LONDON, Nov. 28.—The correspondent of The Standard at Rome says that in the highest and most reserved circles it is well known that the present dream of the Vatican is the establishment of a federal Italian republic. This idea is the only real explanation, the correspon dent goes on to say, of the extraordinary language lately adopted by the Vatican organs in speaking of the mission of France and Russia with relation to the papacy. Of Importance to Attorney*. WASHINGTON, NOV. 28.—A case of considerable importance to the estates of deceased attorneys has been decided by Assistant Secretary of the Interior Reynolds, on appeal from the action of the pension bureau. The ruling pro vides that where an attorney dies, leav ing pension claims pending in which he was entitled to recognition, his personal representative will not be recognized to complete such claims. To Relieve Distress. TERRS HAUTE, Int., Nov. 28.—A largely attended mass meeting was held at the opera house for the purpose of raising funds to relieve great distress prevailing in and among the unem ployed. Senator Voorhees and ex-Secre tary of the Navy Thompson addressed the meeting. STATED BY WILSON Some of the Salient Points of the New Tariff Bill Touched Upon By the Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee of the House. Provisions of the McKinley Bill De nounced—How the Present One Differs. WASHINGTON, NOV. 28.—Chairman Wilson has issued the following state ment in regard to the tariff bill: The Democratic members of the com mittee on ways and means have felt as none others could feel the momentous responsibility resting upon them and the manifest difficulty and delicacy of the duty assigned them of forming a tariff bill for a nation of 70,000,000 of people. The bill they were caled on to reform is a vast and labyrinthine system of class taxation, the culmination of 80 years control of the taxing power by a few great interests, gathering into their train a host of petty toll gathering. It was carefully framed to prevent, as long as possible, what its author called "any monkeying with the tariff,'" by which he meant any success ful effort of the people to undo or to lessen the bounties which its beneficiaries were permitted to write therein, in their own words and their own figures. Wrong Kim! of a Free List. It transferred to the free list proper and fruitful revenue articles where most of the taxes iid by the people were received by the government, and greatly increased the nitre of those articles where all or most of the taxes paid by the people went into private coffers. And it was bolstered al)out by many defenses, chief among which area swept and gamisheed treasury and a swollen and colossal scale of permanent expenditures. Such are the condi tions that confronted us at the threshold of our work. The com mittee have welcomed information and counsel from every trustworthy source, and while they do not expect their bill to escape just criticism, in all of its details, they do present it to the country as the result of months of pa tient, anxious toil, and of an honest de sire to discharge their duty, purged of all taint of local and personal favoritism or prejudice. Its Main Features Are Two: First—The adoption wherever it seemed practicable of ad valorem, in stead of specific duties. Secondly—The freeing from taxes of those great materials of industry that lie at the basis of production. Specific rates of duty, .ire objectionable for these reasons: They frequently con ceal a rate of taxation too enormous to be submitted to if exposed to ad valorem terms as the duty of 8 cents a hundred pounds on salt in bulk, which amounts to over 80 per cent on a common neces sary of life. They always bore heavily on the common articles used by the masses and lightly on the expensive articles consumed by the rich, as a tax of thirty dollars on all houses would be little or nothing on the great mansion and very high 011 the humble home. And, contrary to common belief, specific duties lead to greater frauds in administration, for counting and weighing at the custom house are done by the cheapest and most easily corrupted labor, while ad valorem rates are assessed by the best paid and responsible appraisers. The llolle*t Innovation of the bill is its large free list of the raw materials. Taxes upon productions are double wrongs. They gather and cumu late on the consumers of the finished products. They hurt labor by narrow ing the market for what it produces. Coal and iron are the foundations of modern industry. Material progress is measured by the amount of their con sumption. No other country can •upply them as abundantly or as cheaply as we can. No possible competition can interfere with our own producers a few miles in the interior of the country. Remoteness from from the sources of supply is in itself enough dis advantage to any section of the country, without further burdens in tariff taxes. With releases from taxes on their ma terials, There Is No Limit to the growth of our foreign trade. This will more than compensate the home producers of raw material, who, tariff or no tariff, control all the interior of the country, from an 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 home market. We can get rid of ovr surplus only by foreign trade. As long as we have taxes on the materials of industry we cannot build up that trade, hence the other alternative, trusts to keep down production to the home market. The Worktaffman Can See whether his interest is with a system that represses production and robs him »f employment, or with a system that gives natural and healthy play to pro duction and emancipates him from trusts and like combinations of capital. As to the details of the bill, I will briefly recapitulate the salient changes of the several schedules. In the chemis try schedule we have transferred to the free list quite a number of articles used In manufacturing, the most important of which is sulphuric acid, one of the commodities of all chemical industry. The duty on castor oil is reduced from 85 to 85 cents per gallon, And the duty on linseed oil, which was raised to 35 cents by the conference committee of the McKinley bill after each house had openly voted for a lower duty, we put at 15 cento a gallon. Pig lead being ro iuced froia 2 to 1 cent a pound lead paints are conspicuously reduced. The McKinley bill increased the duty on opium, prepared for smoking, to $12 a pound, in the vain hope of lessening its importation. The custom house offi cers 011 the Pacific coast declare that this increase of duty has simply placed it in the hands of smugglers, the bringing of opium, to tho demoralization of the cus tom service and the loss of over $500,000 revenue. The duty proposed is lelieved to be collectible, and will put the traffic under govenimental control and super vision. Iron and Steel Schedule. In the iron and steel schedule we be gin with free ore. The discovery of the immense deposits of Bessemer ores in the lake regions and of foundry ores in Alabama has rapidly swept us to the leadership of the world in the production of iron and steel, and brought near at hand an undisputed supremacy in the great field of manufactures. The use of steam shovels reduces the cost of min ing to a point wnere the wages paid "natural labor" are irrelevant. Pig iron we reduced from $0.75 per ton, which is from 50 to 90 per cent, to a uniform of 22 1-2 per cent, a rate somewhat higher in proportion than the rest of the sched ule, because of cheap freight rates on foreign pig, it being a favorits freight on westward voyages. Steel rails we re duce from $13.44 per ton, now 75 per cent, to a5 per cent. The residue of the schedule varies from 25 to !]0 per cent. Beams and girders are :J5 per cent, because of the waste of cutting beams and the varietv of lengths, and also of the frequent necessity of changing the rolls in mak ing beams and girders, because of the irregular quantity and lengths and sizes of orders. Tin plates are reduced to 40 per cent, a little more than one half of the lic-II^ley rate. This is a revenue duty, and at the same time enough to permit any existing mills to live and flourish. Both copper ore3 and pig copper are made free we being large exporters of the latter and the duty serving only to enable the producer to sell higher to our people than to foreigners. Xickel is free. Lead ore has a small duty of 16 per cent. Pig lead 1 cent a pound. Sil ver-lead ores are restored to the free list. Unmanufactured lumber is free. Man ufactured is put at 25 per cent with the proviso that in case of any export duty or charge cn foreign lumber, it shall be admitted only at the rates now existing. Sujjar Was Dillicult. Sugar has been a difficult sub ject to deal with. Raw sugar was transferred to the free list by the Mc Kinley bill because nearly all the taxes paid on it went to the public treasury. A strong desire amongst the members of the committee was to put an advalorem duty of 20 or 25 per cent on it, and to abolish the bounty at once. After much consideration, it was decided to reduce to one-half the duty on refined sugars and to repeal the bounty one-eight each year, leaving raw sugar untaxed at present. In the tobacco schedule those rates were sought which would bring mast revenue. The present taxes of $2.75 per pound 011 wrapier leaf tobacco have blotted out many small establishments, and actually impaired revenue. We make the rates $ Land $ 1.75 per pound on wrapper leaf, and a5 and 50 per cent on filler tobacco, unstemmed and stemmed in each. Manufacturers of to bacco are put at 40 cents. Cigars are reduced from $4.40 per pound and S per cent ad valorem, to £5 per pound and 25 per cent. It is believed to be the most productive revenue rate and is higher than the law of 1803. Live animals are put at 20 per cent. Barley is redneed_ from :J0 cents per bushel to 20 per cent, which is about 12 cents. Breadstuff's are made free, except when imported from countries putting duties on our like products, in which case it is 20 per cent. The tariff on spirits is put at double the internal revenue rates on like spirits, and some slight reduction is made on still wines, malt liquors, ginger ale and like beverages in the interest of in creased revenue. I11 cotton manufactures substantial re ductions are made, especially on cheap cloths and prints and the existing system of taxing by count of thread in the square inch is retained. Hemp and flax are made free. As to Wool ami Wool*n Gootls. Wool is made free. This takes the stilt from under woolen manufactures and begets the hope that they may re cover from the languishing condition in men they have been for a quarter of a century and that we may get woolen goods at reasonable rates instead of at duties that 011 the common grades fre quently reach 100 per cent, and in cases two or three times that merciless figure. Cloths and dry goods are put at 40 per cent: clothing at 45 per cent—rates higher than the committee desired, but deemed tempor arily necessary because our manufac turers have so long been excluded from two-thirds of the wool of the world that they will have to learn the act of manu facturing with free wool. A sliding scale is therefore added by which the rates in the woollen schedule are to come down five points with the lapse of five years. Carpets, an industry in which we will soon lie independent of compe tition are put at 35 per cent for Axmin sters, Moquettes and Wiltons: !0 per cent for Brussels, while common grades from 50 down to 20 per cent. The bill provides that the duty shall be removed from wool on March 1, and reduced 011 woollen goods July 1. The duty on cut diamonds, jx-arls and other precious stones is increased. Works of art are, I am delighted to say, put back on the free list. The above is a rapid summary of the chief changes made by the promised bill, and will give a satisf ictorv idea. I lieve, of the general structure. It is estimated that it will reduce revenues 011 the basis of the importations of 18U2. about $50,000,000. TAIUFF ON WIHTJJ MKT/% X* This IN tiw Latest Sclicnie of thu Men From Silver Slutes. WASHINGTON, NOV. 2H.—Those who have observed the difaculty of keeping the silver question in the background will not be surprised to learn that this subject is destined to assert its right to a hearing in connection with the tariff. It will come in the shape of a proposition to put a duty upon silver importations, not in the house, but in the senate, if the plans of those who have the matter in hand do not miscarry. The effort to secure this innovation will be made in connection with the metal schedule, and it will be coupled with the item concerning lead and silver ores. The purpose of this movement is twofold. It may prepare the way for the free coinage of the American product of silver, about which BO much has been heard in recent years, and it is expected to prevent the coun terfeiting of the American dollar in other countries, and the sending of the counterfeit coins to the United States. TRAMPS AND THIEVES. Officers at Webster City, In., Have a Des perate Fight With The in. WEBSTER CITY, la.. Nov. 28.—Sheriff Corbin, Chief of Police Hathaway and Night Watchman Wycoff had a battle with thieve and tramps. They were taking a shoplifter who had been work ing the c:ty all day Saturday and four tramps, who had been arrested on suspicion of having been im plicated in a robbery at a neighboring town to jail for safe keep ing. At the jail the tramps and the thief turned upon the officers, and, seiz ing chairs and a piece of gas pipe, at tacked them viciously. They were clubbed into submission bv the officers and disarmed at the jxnnt of a revolver. All wiio took part in the melee were in jured, but not fatally. Wolves Killinj Stock. HELENA, Mon., Nov. 28.—Stockmen in the eastern and northern parts of the state suffered immense losses last year from the ravages of wolves, which had not been so numerous and bold for years. Reports are being received that "these animals are again appearing 011 the ranges in such numbers that they area veritable pest. I11 all the range counties tributary to Fort Benton the ground is strewn with the carcases of calves and yearlings killed by wolves. Stockmen are offering rewards for wolf scalps in addition to the state bounty, and suc cessful hunters could make big money in that section. Fleury's Second Trial. ST. PAUL, NOV. 28.—The second trial of Thomas Fleury, the alleged bank rob ber, was begun before Judge Kelly at 10 a. m. Owing to the wide publicity given these men and the robbery of Messenger Lares it is expected there will be a great deal of trouble in securing a jury. rOCXD TLIL'E HILLS. Madison Square Itunk Officials Indicted by the Grand Jury. NEW YOKK. NOV. 2S.—The grand jury has found an indictment for forgery on two counts against Joseph F. Bluut, president of the defunct Madison Square bank, and indictments against Blaut and Directors McDonald, Soulard. Kal islicher, Selover, Kursheedt and Otten berg, for misdemeanor in receiving de posits after they knew the bank was in solvent. The oniy directors who escaped indictment were Johnson and Ullinan. Kogue* Fall Out. FAIKFIELD, la., Nov. 2S.—A year ago Ed Markley. Thomas Robinson. Henry A. Bauer, Thomas Bauer and Fred Cunningham enticed W. E. Bowman, a bookkeeper in the Farmington, la., bank, to bet $4,000 on a foot race be tween Markley, who claimed the world's championship, and a stranger. Bowman placed the money in the hands of Mark ley's pal and lost. The rogues, escaping with the money, afterward quarreled, which led to their arrest. They were brought back here, and Markley has just been sentenced to three years in the penitentiary. The others will be tried in Januarv. The German Political Situation. BERLIN. NOV. 28.—The parliamentary situation is so complicated that it would be rash to forecast the issue, the more so that it may be said to rest outside the house. The agrarian campaign, out wardly directed against the chancellor, is nothing less than a deliberate at tempt to intimidate the emperor by con stant allusions to the growing dissatisfac tion of the rural populations and the re peated threats that the peasantry will throw itself into the arms of social Dem ocracy. Only Four Were Rescued. LONDON, NOV. 28.—A letter has been received describing the terrible suffer ings of the crew of the British ship Mendoza. which recently foundered near Martinique. The captain and the ma jority of the crew died at sea of fever, and the few that were left were unable to navigate the vessel, and she sank.only four of the crew leing rescued. The Only Topic. PARIS, NOV. 28.—Very little else is talked abiTut here but the probable for mation of the new cabinet, and the so called victory for the Socialist party in ousting M. Dupuy's ministers out of office. The suggested Meline cabinet is warmly discussed in view of the pro tection opinions of the originator of the existing French customs tariff. Allowed to Kscape. GARY, S. D., Nov. 28.—Michael Gili, who was arrested on a charge of having sold whisky last July, was left in the hands of a constable, who allowed him to escape.
