They will advise that in some instances tho tariff tax shall be actually increased, while it will con- Ldescend; to. recommend that there shall be a reduction of the tar on gteel and sugar. Some other suggestions will jbe inade as to cor- j recting incongruities and inequali ties. But the ceneral principle of a 1 high protective 1 tariff is to be main tained.. It is. the talk -in Washington that j this idea of retaining the protective I perilled; and of a courage.and patriot system is based upon the proposition I ism almost without a parallel (in the that the $146,000,000 of annual in ternal revenue' tax shall be oblitera ted and abolished.

Mr. Raum, Commissioner of Inter nal Revenue, report says, will not favor the abolition of the Internal System, but its reduction. He will - propose that it be reduced 880.000.-. 1 000, leaving some $65,000,000 or U70.OOO.OOO to be collected still for the maintenance of the Government.
