which shall copy or simulate the name or trade
mark OF any domestic manufacture or manu-
fscturer shall be admitted to entry at any GUS

The conferees, speaking OF the effect of the
bill on the revenues, say they do not believe
there IL any material difference between the
House and Senate bills in the matter OF the es-
timated reduction made in the dutiatls
schedules, namely. sec. 100000. and their action
has not materially afiec ted that estimate except
in the restoration OF the internal revenue pro-
visions of the House, and on that point they say:
For the year ending June 80, 1890, the receipts
from special taxes on the class of persons
to be relieved by the Phil were sl5l5, ,4sl; from
taxes on tobacco. SIS, 235, ,4s2 and from snuff
S37, ,73L BY the passage Of the bill the reduc-
tion in the revenue from tobacco will be
81. 58l, S70 and from snuff $tS4. .438, making from
these two sources an aggregate OF $4,765. .803.
Adding these figures to the reduction which
would follow in the abolition of special taxes
would make the total reduction in internal rev.
enue receipts &c. 2S1.2s4. The reduction hy the
customs schedule will probably be about $60,-
0c0, coo, which would give an aggregate reduc-
ton by the bill of about $66. 100000.
