All previous comparisons have Decn
for the fiscal year 1857; the above j.
for tho fiscal year 1883 The total
revenue from imports last year was
s2il. The importations being
the same. it would have been $751;
5000 under the Senate Tribute bill
and $500. 6S2- 900 under the House Re
form bill. Tho internal revenue col
lected was fl2i.S25.00Q Under the
Senate bill il would have been f9l.-
247.000 and under the House bill $l07.-
$4,000 The additions Of the Senate
bill to the list would have caused re-
duc:ion OF <5.705.o 900; those Of the
House bill. 1850. 900.
1t will be seen upon examining the
table that the House bill makes re-
auctions in every schedule except
cigars and tobacco. wines and liquors
and silkA The Senate bill reduces
the totals only in the chemical. glass.
metal. sugar. cigars. flax and sundries
schedules. and increases the totals
under each Of the other seven sched-
ules. The most marked and character
istic differences are in the metals.
sugar and wool schedules In the
metals schedule the Senate bill makes
reduction OF only 100000 in the
total. while tho Mills bill makes re-
duction Of over t7.500OOA In the
wool schedule the Senate bill makes
an increase OF <4700.000 in the total.
while the House bill makes reduction
Of nearly SIS. 100000. On the other
hand. in the sugar schedule the Sem
ate bill makes reduction Of So
100000. while the House bill makes
reduction Of only about -. sOo.ooo
