‘\ - THE WAYCROSS HERALD, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1893. * WORKONTHETARIFF. •Some Pointers as to Items That Will Be Effected INCIDENTAL. r Enlargement of the Free LUt May nablj He Expected—Whisky and Beer Will Hare to Con* tribute More Revenue. Washington, Oct. 11.—Work on the tariff bill by the Democratic members of the ways and means committee contin ues on the lines of making the raising of revenue tho object of the bill and protec tion the incident. That, according to one of the members, is the direction the proceedings are taking.at present. There seems to have been considerable talk about enlarging the free list, as there are many objects now subject to duty which yield but little revenue to the government. This points to many agri cultural products where competition with American producers is impossible to any considerable extent. The tax on wheat and other grains may be abandoned, with the exception of barley, ns there is a considerable de mand for protection against Canadian barley. It seems lhat the protest of the market gardeners of the Atlantic coast who did not want tho duty removed from vegetables, will not have very much freight, as there seems to be an opinion prevailing In the committee that Bermuda products will not cut much of a figure as competing against those grown on Long Island and other places along the coast. It is argued that the Bermuda products are shipped in at a time when the products of the home gar dens could not be planted. The market gardeners in the vicinity of Buffalo, De troit and other large cities along the Canadian border have been disturbed to some extent by the anticipated competi tion of the Canadians, bat members of the committee say that the consumers will receive the benefits of the reduction in prices, if any follow. It was supposed that after the state ment of the governor of West Virginia before the committee, perhaps Chairman Wilson might be inclined to oppose a change in the coal schedule. But it is intimated at the least that coal is very likely to go on the free list. It has been i argued that the West Virginia coal fields are benefited only where tidewater can be reached by rail and canal routes, and thpt is a small matter when the entire consumption of coal is considered, while it is claimed that the benefits to be de rived by free coal to the New England ^manufacturer, is an item of groat im portance. It has also been claimed that JP&e interior coal fields cannot bo* affected materially by free coal. There has been considerable talk over the iron and steel schedules and there ore intimations that this is the most dif- j licult problem that has yet confronted the committee and one which is still quite far from settlement. Members of the committee have talked about a re duction of the duty on pig and scrap iron from $6.72 to $6.50 or $6 per ton, with the .view that there would be large reve nue derived from importations under such a reduction. As to the manufac- * iured products of iron, there is yet noth ing that can bo called an agreement. That there will be a reduction is beyond doubt, but the fixing of duties is consid ered one of the difficult matters Wore the committee. The iron ore schedule is another st um bling block. The pressure from the re- 8 ions along the great lakes is for a re action of considerable duty. The Lake Superior iron miners, who have a large output, have been urging their members of congress to maintain, if possible, pro tection on iron ore. But this part of the bill has not been generally discussed by members of the committee. Some mem bers of the committee say there will be no difficulty in raising sufficient reve nue, and that they need not fear making reduction on that ground. It is intimated that whisky will stand, an increased tax of 35 or 80 cents a gal lon very easily; also that tho tax of $1 a barrel on beer is very light, especially as the brewers are expecting a reduction on barley and hops. There are also in timations of evening up* the duty on sugar, sor that refined sugar will have no advantage over raw sugar. As a means of raising revenue some members of the committee say that half or a quarter cent may be placed on sugar without any ill effects. on rules, reported • a resolution for the immediate consideration of the bill amendatory of the Geary Chinese exclu sion act. He gave notice that he would call the resolution up later. To Tote on Tucker** BIIL^ At 1 o'clock the house proceeded un der the special order to the considera tion of and vote on the Tucker federal election bill and the amendments thereto. Duty on Tobacco. Washington, Oct. 11.—In order to se cure uniformity in the classification of imported tobacco, particularly with ref erence to paragraph 642 of the tariff act, the treasury department has issued a cir cular to the custom officers on the sub ject. This paragraph provides that if any portion of tobacco imported in bales, boxes or packages is suitable for wrap- pen, the entire quantity contained there in shall be dutiable at $2 and . pound, according to whether it is med or not. The circular provides that unless wrapper tobacco is designedly packed with filler tobacco in appreciable quan tities, it should not interfere with the classification of the package as filler to bacco. A Fight on Taylor, the Negro. Washington, Oct. 11.—A story is current at the capitol that Senator Hill has determined to make an active fight to prevent the confirmation of Charles H. J. Taylor, the colored man from Kansas, recently nominated as minister to Bolivia. Another Bank Resumes. r Washington, Oct. 11.—The First National bank, of Birmingham, Ala., which suspended payment August 2, 181)3, has been permitted to reopen for business. OFFICIALLY DENIED. Those While Cap Out rases in Mississippi , Are Mere Myths. Jackson, Miss., Oct. 11.—Governor Stone has received information from Hon. H. M. Street, speaker of the house of representatives, and one of the most prominent insurance men in the state, confirming what the governor has al ready said contradicting the burning of gins by White Caps. Colonel Street states that he does not know of a single ginhouse in the state that has been burned by White Caps, or supposed to have been burned by White Caps. Mr. Ramsey Wharton, a promi nent insurance man of this city, has made a personal visit through eight or ten counties where the outrages were said to have been committed, and he re ports that he failed to find a single gin that had been burned or posted by White Caps. He finds no foundation for the repeat ed rumors of outrages committed by White Caps, and he believes such out rages exist only in the imaginations of people at a distance. Mr. Wharton far ther states that the loss on gamories burned has been less this season than for the same period at any time since the or ganization of his agency. TELEGRAPHIC TIPS. In a coal train wreck at Exeter Sta tion, Pa., Edward F. Corcoran, of Schuylkill Haven, Pa., was instantly killed. H. C. Passmore was acquitted of the murder or Richard Paxton at Harrods- burg, Ky.
