The conferees, speaking of the effect of
the bill on the revenues, say they do not
believe there is any material difference
matter of estimated reduction made in the
dutiable schedules, namely, SEC, ,O0O, 900. and
their action has not materially affected that
estimate except in the restoration of the
internal revenue provisions of the house,
ending June 30. 80, the receipts from
special taxes on the class of persons to be
relieved by the bill we're $1.515, ,4Sl;
from taxes on tobacco, $1S.1Rb,-

BY the passage of the bill tine reduction in
revenue from tobacco will be 4.5S1 $40 and
from snuff xls4, ,433, making from these two
sources an aggregate of $4,765, 1903. Adding
these figures to the reduction which would
follow in the abolition of special taxes
would make the total reduction in internal
revenue receipts 80. 281 ,28. The probable
reduction by the customs schedules will be
about $50, 600 600, which would give an ag-
gregate reduction by the bill of about
$66, 900 900.
