Tin' following compilation presents a com
parison of tan It's from I Tn’J to tho present
upon tin so articles tho duties upon which
would he affected by the Mills hill were it to
become .1 law. I,imitations us to space, how
ever, have made it possible to show the most
notable changes only. Tho items are classi
tlul alphalieticaily, the nomenclature of the
Mills bill being observed so far as has been
found practicable. The first date given in
dicates the year tho article under considera
tion as first placed on the schedule, the
next date the first change of note, etc.

schedule of |9\'t, now in force, and referred
to here as “ISss,” j s given just before the fig
ures proposed by the Mills bill. In the mat
ter of such articles ns wool, iron, sugar, etc.,
it has been thought better to give one short
explanatory paragraph than to attempt to
give the schedules in lull. In fact, this would
I h‘ impossible, as a comparison of t he schedules
on wool alone would quite fill this page. The
letters "m o. p. fstand for “not otherwise
provided for.’’ Here are the figures:
