Director Eugene Goodwin ~f the Pacific Commercial Museum has received advices of great importance to the -commercial community concerning the ficst protective tariff of the Australian federation. This tariff has been approved by one branch of the Australian Government, and al- ready under the Australian form of pro- cedure is in effect, although it has not finally been adopted by the other branch. At Newcastle, according to-tha& advices, the retail houses have added thd duty to the price of goods and are reaping a large profit on the goods.that were in stock. The tariff aftects many ciasses of prod- ucts' and manufacturés in which are in- cluded products of California, as wine, wheat, almonds, barley malt, peas, biscuits, blankets, boots and shoes, canned fruits, currants, furniture, fuse, gloves, honey, hops, onions, pota- toes, salmon, etc. ' Fabrics, iron manufactures, and, indeed, all branches of industry.in the United States are concerned in the measures pro- posed and partially adopted. New South Wales,” which has been practically a free | trade colony, is bitterly opposing the pro- tective tariff. On the whole, the tariff rates have been raised even above those that Victoria has had in force. Cotton plece goods are charged 10 per cent. Hats carry a duty of 10 shillings E"‘ dozen and 15 per cent ad valorem; ottled 'ale and stout 4 shillings 8 pence per case. Ten per cent is added to malt, of which Australia supplfes-only about one-third of its consumption. e duty on wheat is 6 pence per cental, equal to nearly 11 pence per bushel, and 1-pence per pound on flour gives, according to the estimates of Austrailan millers, a protec- tion equal to £416s8d per ton. A tabu- lation appears in.the last number of the Sydney Morning Herald to reach this country,’ which shows the tariff. of the commonwealth as compared 'to the old | tariffs of the several colonies, Western Australia being alone excepted because in- that colony the:tariff that heretofors was in force will under the constitution be retafned for a period. Duties on California Products. From the tabulation some fi taken at random, indicating the xoner tenor of the whole, and having especial reference to the products in which Cali- fornia is particularly concerned. The i| duties imposed- in these instances are as follows: Almonds, 3d per pound; bacon, 3d per 3 barley, Is 61 per contal: peas: 1s 64 por ma’ tal: biscuits, 1%4d per pound: brandy, Ms per galion: currants, 2d per pound; flour, 2s 6d per cental; ‘gloves, 20 per cent; blankets, 2) per cent; bottled, fruits, 3s per dozen: bolts and nuts, 20 per.cent; fruit, canked, 3s per doze furniture, 20 per cent; honey, 2d per poun hops, 54 per pound; onlons, 1is per 100 pound: paper baks, 7s 6d per 100 pounds:. potatoes, 13 per 100 pounds; raisins, 3d per pound: saimon, Dressed.” 2d, per Dound: common. sos "per pound; raw sugar, ‘manufactured, ‘T pound; w! s per 100 pound: sparking, iza: wine, | other than. sparkli - Within - the past few days merchants | have been anxicusly inquiring at the Pu- cific Comfinclnl Museum concerning ‘the effect of the new tariff. e above fig- ures convey the first authentic informa- tion that is procurable on ‘that interest- ng point.

UNion i J‘q uare "Av’e‘ Zealand must look forward to a consid- the near future.” Machinery Is Taxed. American agricultural machinery is| heavily taxed. Tea has to carry 2 per | cent ad valorem in addition to 2 pence | per pound. Those who are favoring the final adoption of the tariff are urging that it will tend ‘to build up the manufac- turing industries of Australia, which has | coal, iron, lumber, wool, etc., at home. Some additional light is gained from an editorial in the Sydney Morning Herald, a part of which is as follows: It is complained that the tariff offers the manufacturers of cement a practical bonus of 125 per’ cent over the imported article. Plas- ter of paris shows 100 per cent, structural steel | about 45 per cent, wire 33 1-3 per cent, horse- shoe nafls 50 per cent more than the present | price. Those who buy medlum grade boots must pay 3s 61 more than they have been | accustomed to and 2s 64 more for ladies’ foot- | gear. The consumer of kerosene must be pre- | pared to meet a demand of 30 per cent more | than before, the poorer buver of hats will | a find the cost raised from 0 to 120 per cent. | Mrs. Reddy Demands Accounting. | Mrs. Caroline S. Reddy, widow of Ed- | ward Reddy, is not satisfied with the| methods of Mrs. Emily Reddy, widow of Patrick Reddy, as executrix of the Reddy estate, and has applied to Judge Coffey | for an accounting, She alleges that Mrs. | Emily Reddy has never accounted to her | for the moneys she has received from the estate, and that she is about to dispose of part of the estate. SUPERVISORS IN FAVOR OF RECOGNITION FOR BRAVERY | Urge Fire Commission to Rewarzd Frank Gorman for Rescuing a Young Girl. The Supervisors’ Fire Committee yester- day referred to the Fire Commission the communication of Chief Sulllvan of the Fire Department, recommending for suit- able recognition the heroic act of Frank Gorman in saving Miss Nellle Healey from a fire at 244 Stevenson street. The committee recommends that Gor- man be réwarded in such manner as will seem proper by the Fire Commission. While appreeiating the bravery shown by Gorman in risking his life to save another, the committee regrets that it has no power to reward the young man. How- ever, it gives its hearty agoroval to any token that the Fire Commission may see fit to give him. B — Petitions in Insolvency.
