U.S.A. TARIFF BILL.
UNDERWOOD’S FINAL ATTACK. Washington, Sept. 19. Senator Underwood, opening the final Democratic attack on the Tariff Bill, made a charge that the measure was framed at the instance of predatory interests, and was an unsound economic blunder. As a result of the wool rates alone special interests will get 2(H) million dollars from the American people.—(A. and N.Z.) READY FOR PRESIDENT’S APPROVAL. Washington, Sept. 20. The Senate passed the Tariff Bill by 43 votes to 28. It now’ goes to the President.—(A. and N.Z.) [A Vancouver cable on September 13th, stated that the new American tariff, described as the highest that so far has existed, is expected to get the President’s signature within a week. The wool schedules run from 30c. to 32c. a pound. Steel remains’ at 8 per cent, ad valorem, and meat at 20 per per cent, ad valorem.]
