The Tariff Bill has been reported in the Senate with amendments, which give it a more acceptable form than it had when it came from the House. It is supposed that these amendments will be adopted by the Senate, and pass that body. Among the amendments proposed, is one to reduce the duty on molasses from 10 cts. to 7 1-2 cts. per gallon.
