THE AMERICAN TARIFF.

PROTECTIONIST COUNTRIES EXCITED. United Press Association.—By ElecTelegrapii.—Copyright. Received March 24, 10 a.m. London, Maroh 28. The Times’ New York correspondent says that Mr Payne’s Tariff Bill shows nominal reductions which are largely neutralised by subtle changes of classification. It is being bitterly aksailed as essentially protective. The section dealing with maximum and minimum tariffs is causing anxiety in all the embassies and legations, except the British bassy. Britain comes in at the minimum rate.
