FREE WOOL ON DECEMBER 1 Measure Expected to Yield Surplus the First Year?Free List Enlarged by the Senate. WASHINGTON'.?The twenty years' tariff war reached its tinal stage in Congress, when Chairman Underwood of the Ways and Means Committee laid before the House the report of the conferees and announced that the differences between the Senate and House bills had been compromised. It is the second low tariff measure that has been passed in more than 65 years. The average ad valorem rate of the present bill is very much lower than that of the Wilson-Gorman act. The average rate of the latter was 39.45 per cent., while the estimated rate of the present bill ranges from 27 to 29 per cent. The average for the present Payne-Aldrich law is 40.12 per cent. Senator Simmons said, after a report from the Treasury experts, that for the first full fiscal year the measure would yield a surplus of $18,000,000. Among the 075 amendments made in the Senate, many related merely to verbiage. The House yielded on 427 and the Senate abandoned 151. Compromises were effected on 97. The general trend of the Senate amendments was in the direction of reduced duties. Expressed in percentage the Senate bill when reported reduced duties 27.64 below the existing law and 4.22 per cent, below the House bill as it bad come to the Senate. The result of the conference report has been a slight increase of the ad valorem rate of duty carried by the bill, but the net result is below the average ad valorem rate of the House bill. Thus for the first time in the history of tariff legislation the Senate has gone on record in favor of lower duties in a tariff bill than those adopted by the House. The most important features of the new bill are those which led to the greatest struggle in both the Senate and House Democratic caucuses. They related to the free listing of wool and of sugar. Except for the strong insistence of President Wilson it is likely that the Senate would have restored a revenue duty on both wool and sugar. Raw wool will go on the free list December 1 and sugar will be free after May 1, 1916. The existing duties on sugar under the Payne-Aldrich law will continue until March 1, 1914, then the lower rates carried by the new law will become effective and continue until May 1, 1916, after which date sugar will go on the free list automatically. All other rates in the bill will go into effect as soon as it is signed. In restoring to the free list alizarin, lead or creosote oil, anthracine and anthracine oil, the Senate followed the existing law, which gives to the manufacturers of certain textiles the benefits ?f free dyes used in the industry. The House had made them dutiable for revenue purposes. The Senate made them free on the theory that the textile products had been made to pay less duty and that the manufacturers should have the raw material iree. The cyanides were transferred to the free list because they are used largely in mining and are raw material for other American industries. Both the Senate and House agreed that tanning materials, such as extracts, should go upon the free list because the products of the tanneries, sole leather and other leathers of the coarser kind that enter into the manufacture of boots and shoes, harness and saddles were all free listed. The Democrats put cements and other building material, including lumber and shingles upon the free list. Pig iron an ferremanganese, billets and ingots for railway wheels, together with antimony ore, were put on the free list. Automobiles will pay about 30 per cent., which was a reduction of onethird from the House rate. Cattle, sheep and all domestic animals suitable for food, and wheat, flour and eggs were put on the free list. This was to conform with the tariff policy of reducing the cost of living. Ttv* five ner cent, rebate in tariff made in the House bill on goods brought in American ships was retained in the conference, with the added provisions that it would not "be so construed as to abrogate or in any manner impair or affect the provisions of my treaty" the United States n<5w has. The administrative features as embodied in the House bill emerged from conference but little changed. The conference adopted a substitute for the Senaate amendment to check Fraudulent invoices. This provides that the arrival within the territorial limits ji the United States of any merchandise consigned for sale and remaining the property of the shipper, and the acceptance of a fraudulent invoice by the consignee or agent of the consignor shall >e deemed an attempt to enter such merchandise whether or not actual entry is made or offered. The Senate amendment requiring itatements of cost on merchandise contracted for, as well as on that actually purchased, was stricken out. The conference agreed to the Senate unendment authorizing the Secretary 3jf the Treasury ajid Secretary of Commerce to require importers to "furnish more detailed information on shipments for statistical purposes. Undervaluation Penalty. The Senate receded from the amendment allowing a margin of 5 per cent, undervaluation without penalty and limiting forfeiture of the particular good* undervalued. The bill imposes an additional duty of 1 per cent, on undervalued goods. Offsettting this, the conference adopted the Senate amendment authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury to assess the duty on less than the entered value when satisfied that the importer has in good faith at the time of the entry certified the entered value above the market value. The conference restored the House provision authorizing the Board of General Appraisers to exercise both judicial and inquisitorial functions in customs examinations, and struck out of the Senate amendment the provision excluding hearsay evidence. Senate amendments were agreed to prohibiting contingent fees in customs cases and strik ' T T L!ll ing out the provision ot tne nouse diii, limiting protests to a single article and. issue. The House provision, to authorize collectors of customs summarily to fine importers for failure to produce books, and records was stricken out. The House provision placing the burden of proof on the defendant in suits, for the recovery of the value of merchandise fraudulently imported was restored after having been stricken out by the Senate. House provision requiring shippers, and importers to produce their books, to authorized agents of the government adopted with an amendment authori-ing the Secretary of the Treasury to imposeadditional duties in case of refusal, instead of the House provision authorizing him to exclude the merchandise from entry. The Senate amendment authorizing the President to impose countervailing duties was stricken out. ' Reciprocity Feature. The President is authorized to negotiate trade treaties with foreign countries subject to approval by Congress. By a conference substitute Section; eight of the treaty with Cuba, dealing with the preferential on sugar, is specifically abrogated. With this exception, tne reciprocal trade treaty with. Cuba stands.
