WASHINGTON, March 16.—The Republican tariff bill is being framed. While its exact terms are not known sufficient reliable information is at hand to state it will make few changes in the tariff schedules. It will take the tax of $50,000,000 off of sugars and give a bounty of $6,000,000 to sugar raisers. It will take the tax off all tobacco manufactured unmanufactured except possibly a slight tax on cigars. It will make free alcohol used in arts and will place these imported articles not produced or manufactured in the country on the free list. The Republicans say they cannot support Mr. Randall's bill as it stands.
