rnE NEW TARIrr RlLL.

| A Washington correspondent oil me New
York Times has furnished running abs,rac,
of the new Tariff Bill just passed By Con-
sress. 1t is the result OF compromise OF
con nfiic,lng views on the subject, and passed
by vote OF 35 to s in the Senate, and I24

goes into full effect on the first of July next,
and the new rates of duties TO apply TO all
goods imported, but warehoused, in the
! meantime, as though the same had been
imported alter the s0th Of June. The i'm
mediate practical results aside from the
main purpose to reduce the present redun-
lunl customs revenue about $4,000, 900 per
aunum on the current scale Of importation
will be TO throw large portion OF the highly
dutiable goods now on the way from foreign
State into Pnblic Store, to await The opera
tion of the new bill, aud to postpone con.
siderable share Of the usual imports ations or
dered for May aud June until after the Ist OF
July Both will necessarily lead 10 the re-
duced pAymen, of cash duties into the Sub
Treasury. What the effect will be after the
new bill takes new force, il is difficult nj
present to see. The measure, however, is
wellimed, as The banks will 30 better ena.

mands cf the importing interest, to pay cash
duties upon the large sum o, goods withheld
from the market until after the .st July, than
at any other season. The subsequent i'm.
poraiuus will no doubt be heavy Tor several
winters, and the very serious apprehension is
that the reduction in some os the schedules
Of the act of 1916 may while curlailing the
revenue, afford undue encouragement, TO an
excessive scale of importation. Schedules
OF 1876 to 30 per cent might have been
quite sufficient TO bring down tho revenue

without Interference with the original 80,
