THE PENDING TARIFF BILLS,
Statements Prepared by
the Senate Finance Committee.


The clerk of the Senate finance committee
has completed the preparation ofthe statement
called for by the Plumb resolution adopted by
the Senate, showing the increases and reduc-
tons in revenue which are estimated to follow
the enactment Of the Senate tariff bill compared
with the present law and the House or NC
kinley bill. The importations for the fiscal year
OF dutiable goods aggregated $500, 437, HI 20 in
value and the duties collected these az
gregrated Sl6l, 40S, 49. The estimated duties
on These same articles (or an aggregate equal
to that Of the fiscal year, under the House bill
is estimated at S206. 344, 977.77, while under
the Senate bill the estimated receipts from the
same aggregate are S20l. 6S9, 907. Os The House
bill transferred to the free list articles which
during the fiscal year 1889 we're received In az
gregate value of s107, 921 , 1885, 04 and paid duty
amounting to go, 736, o96 IL. The Senate bill
transfers to the free list articles valued in the
importatiOns for 1899 at Sl0s 9l9 907 Is and pay
ing an aggregate duty of go, $50. 34369
Adding to the first of these amounts the
amount OF the internal revenue reduction
found in the House bill (and struck out Of the
Senate bill the total reduction of the reve nue.
by the House bill Is found to be Ell, 064. 774 49,
while that Of the Senate bill is the figure
named sbove-s60 ,599, 34369. These reduc-
tions, the committee saws, appear to be GER
tain, bat il the imports should be the same as
last year under the new rates the reduction
would amount, under the House bill, to
$40, l2s, 642 80; under the Senate bill to
go, 3ls, 2S3 10.
The table further shows that the average
equivalent ad valorem rate under existing law
is lisa per cent; under the House bill, 81. 80
per cent, and under the Senate bill, 5L97 per
cent
These tables" says the committee, ''are
prepared upon the plan and theory usually fol-
lowed; the estimates are largely conjecturai
and more OF less unreliable and misleading.
They are based upon the assumption that il
the bill should become n law merchandise Of
hike quantities and values would be imported as
was imported during the fiscal year 1889 This
basis can only be accepted as reliable where
changes in rates are not of such character as to
necessarily cause increased or diminished i'm
portations.
