All previous comparisons have been
for the fiscal year 1887; the above is
for the fiscal year 1888. The total
revenue from imports last year was
$211, $4,000. The importations being
the same, it would have been $780,
1893, 900 under the Senate Tribute bill
and $16O, 6S2. 900 under the House Re-
form bill. The internal revenue col
lected was 1924, $4,000. Under the
Senate bill it would have been $94,-
247, 900 and under the House bill $1O7,-
$4,000. The additions of the Senate
bill to the list would have caused re-
duction of s5,7O5, 900; those of the
House bill, $40, SSO,0OO.
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 silks. The Senate bill reduces
the totals only in the chemical, glass,
metal, sugar, cigars, fax and sundries
schedules, and increases the totals
under each of the other seven sched-
ules. The most marked and character
lstic differences are in the metals,
sugar and wool schedules. In the
metals schedule the Senate bill makes
a reduction of only 100000 in the
total, while the Mills bill makes a re-
duction of over $500. 900. In the
wool schedule the Senate bill makes
an increase of 81, 1000 in the total,
while the House bill makes a reduction
of nearly SIS, 100000 On the other
hand, in the sugar schedule the Sem
ate bill makes reduction of $780,
100000, while the House bill makes a
reduction of only about 50, 100000
These points illustrate the general
difference between the two bills. The
ly protective. 70 speak more correct
ly, they are mainly for tribute. They
take about $5S, 900, 600 year from the
people for the use of the Government.
They take at least four times as much,
or 1882, 100000. from the people to on
rich manufacturers and to sink in UNI
profitable enterprises. Under the SEN
ate bill they would take about $685.
900, 900 from the people for the use of
the Government, and a good deal more
than four times as much, or probably
not less than $500, 1000, 900, for tribute.
On the other hand, the duties on sugar
are mostly for revenue. They take for
the use of the Government about $751;
100000, or nearly the same as the
duties on metals and wool and wool
ems, and not more than one-tenth of
that sum, or $5,70O,O0O, for tribute.
The Senate bill proposes to relieve the
people of revenue burden of $29,-
800, 900, and tribute burden of 3d.
100000.
The House bill proposes to reduce
the revenue burdens on metals and
woolens to $32, 900, 600, and the tribute
burden to 1928, 100000. On sugars it
proposes to reduce the revenue burden
to $40. 400, 900, and the tribute burden
to $4,64O,O The difference may be
plainly exhibited in the form of ia
BILE showing what the two bills pro-
pose to take from the people under
these schedules for revenue and tribute
as follows:

Here is difference of over $142,- |
500, 900 in revenue and tribute together,
and a difference of over $3.50, 900, coo |
in the tribute exaction. This differ |
ence between the two bills is character |
istic. 1t illustrates the difference be- |
tween the tariff for revenue party and |
the tariff for tribute party.

of the Senate bill. which |
