The Revenue Bill.

There have been so many misrepre-
sensations i'm reference to the effect of
the Mckinley bill, made generally by
the Democrats who oppose it, that the
following extract from paper in the
North american RerieW for June,
written by the author of the bill, will
probably throw light upon the subject
for many people:
at is said that the legislation pro-
pesed i'm the Fifty-first Congress is
even more restrictive than the pre-
vious legislation, and that if carried
out will amount to little less than q
"Chinese wall'' around our coast line.
The bill pending in the House, on the
basis oflast years importations, places
upon the free list imports to the value
OfSl00, 232, 0S0, upon which the Govern
ment last year collected in duties $780,
936, $50, which added to the free i'm
ports of the last fiscal year, will
amount to $3.50, sO6, 7Ol, and deducted
from the dutiable imports of the last
fiscal year, reduces the value of the
dutiable imports to S375,624 ,6S7. The
pending legislation, therefore, will
make free, without restraint or burden
500 s06, 701 in value OF foreign products,
and will diminish the dutiable impor-
tations from S4s4, 4sl 1893 to S375, 624 ,6S7,
which will make all average duty upon
all importations of about p per cent,
and a reduction of tariffs to the amount
of about 10 per cent, instead of large
as seems to be the popular
1t will be seen according
ly, that about 80 per cent.-on the
basis of the importations of last year
will be free and 80 per cent. dutiable,
while the proportion of free imports
under the Mills Bill chad it become a
law would not nave been greater
than 10 per cent"
