How the Duties are Out
Business men throughout the coun-
try who have paid little attention to
tne tariff are beginning now to real-
ize that revision is fairly under way.
So they are writing their congress-
men to learn exactly what the new
law is likely to do.
The bill is still in the hands of the
finance committee of the senate, and
so is still subject to change. The
changes, however, are not expected to
be radical. It is possible to form a
fairly accurate estimate of the new

passed the house.
The biggest feature of the bill
from the standpoint of the revenue
involved is in dealing with sugar.
Next comes wool, and then woolen
i;ood8, cotton goods and lumber. The
"market basket" list is also affected.
(Which means the farmer will get
"his.")
The United States has been import-
ing more than 100 million dollars'
worth of sugar every year, on which
the duties have amounted to 50 mil-
lion dollars. The new bill proposes
to reduce the rate of duty, which is
now nearly 50 per cent, until In 1916
sugar is to go on the free liBt. You
may have your own guess as to how
much of this reduction will reach
the pockets'of the consumer.
Wool comes in the notorious sched-
ule K, which made such a scandal in
the enacting of the Aldrich-Payne
law. Last year the imports of raw
wool were worth 33 million dollars,
and the duties amounted to 141 mil-
lions. It is estimated that about half
th? raw wool used in the United
States comes from abroad. With
wool on the free list the Imports are
expected to Jump decidedly and home
sheep growers will catch it accord-
ingly.
Sawed lumber, planks, etc., on
which the duty has amounted to
about 7 J per cent, and of which 15J
million dollars' worth was Imported
last year, is to go on the free list.
Clapboards, laths and shingles go.
too. There has been a duty of 21
per cent on Portland cement. This
is reduced to a per cenj. T*ie same
duty is levied on lime which now pays
about 9 per cent. Quarry tile is re-
duced from 45 to 20 per cent, win-
dow glass from 38 to 25 per cent.
On house furnishings the duty on
oilcloth is cut from 44 to 20 per cent.
Carpets are now listed at from 65 to
70 per cent. They are to be reduced
to from 20 to 30 per cent. House-
hold furniture is to come in at 15
per cent instead of 35. In spite of
a duty of 30 per cent the country
imported $70,000 of sewing machines
last year. These go on the free list.
Common china, which has been duti-
able at 25 per cent, comes down to
15, while painted china is hardly
touched; the duty is reduced from 60
to 55 per cent.
The duty on razors is reduced from
72 to 50 per cent and on scissors
from 54 to 30. District that can af-
ford to pay freight on foreign coal
will notice that this commodity,
which paid nearly $300,000 in duties
last year, is admitted free.
Wool is on the free list. The duty
on ready made woolen clothing is re-
duced from 70 to 35 per cent;
flannel for underwear 25 and 35 per
cent; on blankets from 73 to 25 per
cent.
Similar reductions are made In
cotton goods. The duty on cotton
thread is reduced from 31 to 19 per
cent. Under the existing law cotton
cloths are subjected to an Intricate
scale of duties, which averaged for
the 7J million dollars' worth import-
ed last year, about 43 per cent. This
scale is £-: plifled and reduced so
that the a' < age rate of duties rang-
ing from 7J to 30 per cent, is esti-
mated at about 26 per cent. The duty
on ready made cotton clothing is re-
duced from 50 to 30 per cent; on
stockings from 75 to 40 and 50; on
underwear from 60 to 25; on hand-
kerchiefs from 60 to 30; on linen
handkerchiefs from 50 to 35; on silk
ribbons the duty is reduced from 50
to 40 per cent, and the duty on
trimmed hats is subject to the same
reduction. Boots and Bhoes, which
have been paying a duty of 15 per
cent, go on the free list. Of more

It is not uncommon at this time of
year for the column of mercury In
the barometer to shift an inch in 24
hours. That in itself is a trivial fact
but it indicates that pressure of one
ton per 4,000 square inches is re-
moved from over the area where th*
barometer shows that change. The
outside of a man's body will thus
be relieved of a pressure of about a
ton and a half at the same time. This
change however comes about so grad-
ually that a balance of pressure is
maintained; that is, when a ton of
pressure is removed from the out-
side of any body a like pressure is
removed from the Inside. If such
changes were sudden we might all
explode when the barometer went
down, as deep-water fish do when
is declared that upwards of 400 dif-
ferent kinds of sausage are regularly
listed by the German sausage trade,
and the entire number of species
Identified by experts is above the
1,000 mark. It was the boast of one
big German sausage man that he ate
a different kind of sausage every
day in the year—but he is now dead,
as you might well suppose.—Path-
finder.
