Prac- tically every t witness has been the representative of a special Interest, and has come to plead either for higher duties or a continuance of the Dlngley rates. Representatives . of the steel and Iron interests were willing to make some concessions, but most .of them took issue with Mr. Carnegie's assertion that the steel business can now stand on its own legs without the aid of a tariff. The hoot and shoe men were willing to have their products placed on the free list If hides and leather should be made and the tanners expressed themselves as being able to stand a material reduction In the duty on leather, if hides should be placed on the free list. With the exception of a few lumbermen, who have Canadian interests, the lumbermen who came to Washington were ' of one mind in declaring that their industry would be ruined by a lowering of the Dlngley tariff on lumber. Borne of the indepen dent hugar refiners told the committee that if the duty should be removed from raw sugar, it would be possible to get along without a duty on refined sugar. All these cases were exceptions to the general rule. Let us alone," or Give us more," have seen the rally ing cries of the great majority of representatives of protected interests who made the Washington Journey to talk on tariff revision. ' Arrive at Conclusion. One phase of tariff policy seems to be settled. That le that the Payne bill will recognise the principle of a maximum and minimum tariff. Little has been said about ihis principle In the hearings, but all that has been! said, either by witnesses or by Democratic or Republican representatives, lias confirmed the impression that in drawing the new revenue act an effort will be made to fix limits within which concessions to foreign countries may be made by the executive. Representative Crumpacker of Indiana, one of the Republican revisionists, said that he didn't know whether the act would provide maximum and minimum rates for different schedules or groups of schedules, or whether there would b? a flat minimum rate with authority vested In the president to Increase this, say. 20 per cent for purposes of retaliation.
