IV.-Comparative statement of the rates of import duties, &c.—Continued. NOTE.-Statement IV is an exact comparison of the text of the Tariff Act of 1883 and the law in force on that date. Many of the specific items enumerated under the prior law are now embodied in general provisions, and vice versa. For example, barks, beans, berries, seeds, &c., had been to a large extent itemized, but they are now nearly all embodied in two general provisions (paragraphs 94 and 636); while manufactures of steel, under the new law, are specifically enumerated instead of being embraced under the general head of "steel not otherwise provided for."
