With the sugar bill may be coupled tile excite meoBuro offejfd at the last session of the proient congress. The Democratic program mo, if en acted into law. would save the con* Burners $743,000,00.0 annually, with a probable not rayon tie ions of about $(1,000,000. There will be h free llut bill, which will carry agrh-.ult ural luipl. meats, fonce wire, hanging an<l ties for baling cotton, lumber, laths and shingles, Hewing machlncH, meats, leather, shoes and Halt. Tho wool bill will reduce the av erago rate of duty qji wopl manu facturea from 90 per cent to about 43 per cent, tin based upon the im ports of thin year. A reduction of that proportion would mean a sav ing of more than $00,000,000 to tho consumers. ' Tho cotton bill will reduce the ad valorem rate on cottont niunufac turen 4 8 por ceut. to 27 per cent,, making a Having of $#8, 000,000 an nually. A reviBlon of the chemical sched ule to a tariff for revenue baalH, /> DemocratB claim, would bring about a saving of $17,000,000 and at the name time increase the revenue to Qovernmept $4,060.00 0 . A very thorough revision of the metal schedule will b? made and the rate of advalorem duty reduced from, 34 per cent, to 22 per cent. This, would mean a saving of $80, 000,000. The House may not be able to got a sugar bill providing for free sugar through the Senate, as the Democratic margin will be so 'close that sugar State Senators will be able to prevent Its passage. The present duty on sugar amounts to about 1 1-2 cents a pound. Tho WayB and Means Committee would like to do away with this duty, which enters into the price of sug ar to the consumer, and levy an ex cise tax instead. It \s estimated that free sugar would save . the American people about $113,000, 000 a year. To Ik> Enlarged. Washington, Nov. 15.? The South ' ern Railway Company will on.
