The McKinley Bill. 



I have just received from my correspondent, Mr. John 

 H. Thomson, of New Bedford, Mass., United States, a 

 copy of the New Customs Tariff, known as the 

 McKinley Bill, which took effect since October 

 last. 



Considering that Extracts of this Tariff will be of 

 great use to all the readers of this Journal, I have 

 dedicated the whole of this number to the publication 

 of the said Extracts. 



The first part, Free List, contains the List of all 

 the Objects not paying duty. The second part, The 

 United States Customs Tariff, contains the List 

 of all the Objects paying duties.
