REDUCTIONS.
The conferrees, in speaking of the effect of
the bill on the revenues, say they do not be-
lieve there is any material difference be-
tween the House and Senate bills in the
matter of the estimated reduction made in
the dutiabie schedules, namely $50, LOCO, 600,
aud their action has not materially affected
that estimate, except in the restoration of
inf yistnr Nf fhn
House, and on that point they say that
for the year ending June 80, 1890,
the receipts from special taxes on the class
of persons to be relieved by the bill were
S1,515, 4Sl: from the taxes on tobacco, S1S,-
235, 432, and from snuff, S737, ,731. BY the
passage of the bill the reduction in the
revenue from tobacco will be S4,5S1.370, and
from snuff S1S4, i33 making from these two
sources an aggregate of 81, 76j, S03. Adding
these figures TO the reduction which would
follow in the abolition of special taxes
would make a total reduction in internal
revenue receipts of Sc, 2S1 ,2S4. 1t is probable
the reduction by the customs schedules will
be about 1O,0O0,000, which would give an
aggregate reduction by the bill Of about
S66, coo, 900.
THE TRIBUNE's VIEWS.
New YORK, Sept. 26. = The Tribune
on on the Tariff Bill: Every Repub.
lican vote in tho Senate and House
ought to be recorded unhesitatingly in favor
of this measure. Whatever changes in-
dividuals might desire, they cannot
fail to see that the bill must now be passed
as it stands, or defeated for this session.
If it is not quite all that this or that mem-
Der desires, is he prepared to face his
constituents with the plea that because
he could not get everything he wished
at this session, therefore he would not
allow the country TO secure inestimable
benefits. A bill to give employment to
100000 more American workers is not to be
set aside for such a reason"
