U.S. TARIFF BILL.
CLASE OF VARIOUS INTERESTS.
WANDINOTON, September 15th,
A bitch at the last moment threatened to delay the progress of the new Tariff Bill, which is estimated to raise four hundred million dollars in revenue. » Tho Conferquee Committee of both Honses had agreed to the Bill and inserted a duty on potash and an embargo on foreign dyes. This led to a revolt of Republican mem- bers of the House of Representatives, which had previously rejected the dye ubango, while the potash duty was objected to by agricultural members as likely to double the price of fertilisers, The Representatives returned the Bill to committee with instructions to eliminate the dye and potash sections.
The commifted has now fred-listed
rotash, but imposed dyestutis rates which are a compromise between those originally proposed by the House and Senate.
The laulem of both, Houses now hope that the Bill will be submitted for Prosi dent Harding's signature in a few days, with a view to its enforcement on October 1st.
