Tariff Commission.
(Per Press Association.) Wellington, April 8. Mr E. W. Mills gave evidence as to agricultural machinery and implements and ship's chandlery, pointing out the articles which he thought should be admitted duty free, and also indicating anomalies in the tariff which he considered vexations and a source of great inconvenience. For instance, ploughs and harrows are admitted free, but some parts when imported separately are charged 20 per cent. He enumerated several articles which should be admitted free. Mr J. E. Evans, saddler, urged that anomalies respecting the classification of goods used in saddlery be removed, also several articles which could not be manufactured in the Colony be admitted free. He mentioned that saddler's hemp wa3 charged 20 per cent, while shoe hemp, although the same thing, was admitted free as grindery.
