THE TARIFF' RYISIOY.
The Long -Expected If. S. Tariff Bill
Has Been Made Public.
ITS TWO MAIN FEATURES.
Ad Valorem in Lieu of Specific Duties—
Why Specific Rates Are Objection.
able - Raw Materials Ex-
empted—Other Duties
Reduced.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 28.—The long -ex-
pected tariff bill has boon made public.
It is the production of the Democratic
members of the Ways and Means Commit-
tee: The Republicans bad nothing to do
with it, Even President Cleveland was
not asked for advice.
Its main features are two -First, the
'idoptiou, whenever it seemed practicable,
of advolorom instead of specific duties;
secondly, the freeing from taxes of those
great materials of industry that lie at the
at the basis of production.
About Specific Rates.
Specific rates are objectionable for these
reasons. They frequently conceal a rate
of taxation too enormous to be submitted
to if expressed in ad valorem terms, as for
instance the duty of 8 vents on 100 pounds
of salt in bulk, which amounts to over 80
per cent. on a common necessity of life.
The ad valorem system has worked well in
practice, is essentially the fair system, be-
cause it is a tax upon the actual value of
an article, and was declared by Mr. Clay
himself to be in theory and according to
every sound principle of justice entitled to
the preference, and vindicated by long trial.
Raiv Alatoriala.
The boldest innovation of the bill is its
.lo"ge free list of raw materinis. Coal and
iron are the foundetiou of modern In-
dustries,
Untaxed ores, coal, lumber, wool and
other fibres must immediately stimulate
production.,in certain parts of the States.
The thin wedge of American manufactures
has entered every country. With release
from taxes upon these materials, there is
no limit to the growth of the foreign trade.
Sulphuric Acid, Too,
In. the chemical schedule there has been
transferred to the free list quite a number
of articles used in manufactures, the most
important of which is sulphurio acid, one
of the corner stones of all chemical
industry.
The duty on castor oil is reduced from
85 to 85 conts per gallon and the duty on
linseed oil, which was secretly raised to 82
cents by the Conference Committee on the
McKinley bill, after each House had open-
ly voted a lower duty, has been put at 15
cents a ga o r v:'
Sundry Articles on the Free List.
Works of art are now on the free list,
Collars, cuffs and shirts and all articles of
wearing apparel of every description not
specially provided for, composed. wholly
or in part of linen, 35 per cent.
Section 2 of the tariff bill gives the fre
list as follows; On and after the first da

MeiNTRnAL, Nov. 28.—A terrific earth-
quake shook Montreut from end to end
or. yesterday. Nothing like it has ever been
experienced before. Buildings actually
rocked and trembled as if about to be
thrown down by the percussion of some
terrible explosion.
At first came a heaving sensation like
that of a ship rising over a heavy dead
swell. The buildings creaked as if every
joint and fastening was being tested by
a some awful and invisible force, and then a
g dull, muffled, deep toned sound like that
of a subterranean explosion. The shock
was felt from foundation to turret of the
h most substantially built ediftcesin the city,
m and then came the settling baok, and for
an instant it felt as if everything was go-
ing down, as if the bottom bad fallen out
of things generally and all was going to
h collapse.
The shock was distinctly felt in the
e McGill Observatory and all through the
or college building, but not so severely as in
other parts of the city.
The earthquake caused the utmost con-
fusion. Everyone thought the building
dwas collapsing. The trial of Maloney et
t al,for keepiug a gambling bowie was in
a progress at the Court of Queen's Bench,
'when the proceedings were interrupted by
aa terrific rumbling, which increased in
force until it seemed as if the whole build-
ing was giving way. The floor trembled,
windows rattled, and massive iron pillars
shook. A panic ensued. The spectators
rushed to the narrow doorway and were
jammed together so tightly that scarcely
any could gat out. Judge Wurtele left the
bench and the jurors followed the crowd
who were not sworn in their mad rush to
the head of the staircase. There they
were joined by those coming from the flat
above, but before they reaohed the street
the earthquake was over.
A prisoner, R. D. Greet, who was in 'the
dock awaiting trial, was loft alone because
the guards had fled. Tho door was open
so he joined the stampede. When he
reached the street he made no effort to
escape, and when excitement had abated
somewhat ho was taken back to the court,
Judge Wurtele returned almost Mame.
diately to the bench and the jurors reluc-
tantly returned to their ;oats. Those who
had no business in the court house, how-
erer, remained out of it, for they could
not disabuse their minds of the idea that,
the noise was connected In come way with`
the building. .As no definite information
could then be obtained as to the cause, the
judge suspende1.the court for ten '^'mir.

THE G. P. R- ON TOP.
American Competitors Fear They Will
Begin Cutting Rates.
CHICAGO, Nov. 28.—A meeting of the
committee appointed by the Western Pas-
senger Association to submit a recommen-
dation for the settlement of the transoontd-
nental situation was held yesterday.
A telegram was despatched to General
Passenger Agent Goodman, of the South-
ern Pacific, asking him to 'withdraw the
embargo on "Soo" and Canadian Pacific
tickets over the Shasta route from Port-
land to San Francisco, on the condition
that the " Soo" and Canadian Pacific
refrain from putting into effect the $30
first-class and the 825 second-class one
way rates from St. Paul to San Francisco,
which it has announced it wil1'make com-
mencing November 27, and agree to re•
store all California rates to tariff' basis.
The Canadian Pacific says ft is the boy -
(ma the Southern Pacific has declared
against it that is the cause of all this rate
trouble. Unless some way is found of
having the " Soo " cut rate withdrawn ii
will be necessary to reduce one-way rates
via the Missouri River gateways.
Honors Even.
WILSESBARRE, Pa., Nov. 27.—This is
the eighth day of the strike on the Lehigb
Valley railroad, and an unprejudiced ob-
server would say that the honors were
about equally divided. The company
claims all their mail and passenger trains
are running on schedule time.
The 7.17 o'clock passenger train due
here from the west was stoned north of the
city. The depot here has closed up for
fear of violence. New men are coming in
and others are leaving. The outlook at
this writing is anything .but encouraging.

A Lecture by the Gran'
ist, W. T. Stead: '-
TonoNTo, Nov. 28.—Despite the very
heavy and persistent rainfall last night, a
large and intellectual audience gathered at
the Auditorium to hear Mr, William T.
Stead, the editor of the London Review of
Reviews, lecture on " The Manifest Destiny
of Canada." Mr, Archibald Blue, chief of
the Ontario Bureau of Statistics, occupied
the chair, and introduced the lecturer
WILLIAM T. STEAD.
in eloquent sentences. Mr. Stead, on
coming forward, was received with vary
hearty and earnest cheers, and for two
hours he held his audience (albeit he did.
not always rub the individuals comprising
the audience the right way) spellbound
with his broad-minded views and his earn-
est, intense manner. Briefly, after revert-
ing to a thousand and one things which
were incidental to the subjeot in•hand, the
manifest destiny of Canada was to be a
peacemaker between. Great Britain and the
United States, to the end that the mistake
made by George III. might be rectified
and the federation of the now -realizable
aotual entity -the English-speaking race
the world over—become a concrete fact.
Without Canada's good offices—and he im-
pressed his hearers with the great respon-
sibility resting upon them—the dream of
the civilized world becoming "permanent
under English-speaking rule would be un-
realized, and in time what had been ac-
complished would pass away, as did the
Roman and Grecian civilizations ` of ages.
ago. First, however. towards 'realizing
this, it was necessary that the citizen
should have character as the underlying
element of future mediation' for the up-
building of the entire race. All causes of
friction should be removed, custom houses
minimized where they could' not be done
away with, and a permanent court of
arbitration established between the two
countries.
Ald. H
allam and Public. School Inspector
Hughes moved a cordial vote of thanks, to
which the lecturer responded in oharaoter-
istic style.
