EFFECT ON THE REVENUES.
The conferees in their report, speaking of
the effect of the bill on the revenues saw
that they do not believe that there is any
material difference between the House and
Senate bills in the matter OF estimated re-
duotion made in dutiable schedules
namely. $50, ,000, ,000-and their action has
not materially affected that estimate.
except In the restoration of the internal
revenue provisions Of the House. On that
point they say:
For the year ending June 30, 1890, the re-
ceipts from special taxes on the class of per-
sons to be relieved by the bill were S1,5i5 4Si,
from taxes on tobacco S18.8e5, 4s2, and from
snuff S257,73f. BY the passage OF this bill the
reduction In revenue from tobacco would be
$4,bSl, $40, and from snuff Slo4,4sa, making
from these two sources an aggregate OF S4.765,-
sos. Adding these figures TO the reduction
which would follow in the abolition of special
taxes would make a total reduction In the in
ternal revenues received So 281 1884. The pro-
bable reduction by customs schedules will be
about S60000,0 200, whioh would give an aggre-
gate reduction by the bill of about $50, 600, 600
