Reduction of the Customs Revenue.
WAsHISGToS, d. C.. October 1A-Sihce the
enactment of the new tariff law there has
been a large reduction in the revenue from
customs. This was contemplated in the bill
itself. which recited at its head, San act to
reduce the revenue" etc. 1t will be observed
there was during the year a reduction in the
customs revenue of S41, 800, 1888, notWlth-
standing there was large increase in the
imports of merchandise. The large reduc-
ton in the revenue occurred during the last
three quarters of the year included in the
statement. The increase that appears IN
the first quarter occurred in October, 1880,
the month IN which the new tariff went into
effect. The new law did not go into effect
until the 9Th, and the imports of merchan-
disc and the withdrawal of merchandise from
warehouses Immediately prior to that date
was very large. The reduction of the reve-
nue. from customs during the three quarters
ending September 80, 1891, as compared with
the same PeriOd Of the prior year, was SAL
Ola, sSS. p, but IN considering the statement
OF the whole twelve months, this amount is
cut down by the increased revenue collected
during the first quarter, which occurred in DC
tOber, as mentioned above. 1t will be remem-
bered, however, that the principal article of
our imports Of merchandise from which the
duty was removed Is sugar, and by the pro-
visions Of the new tariff law the removal of
this duty did not take effect until April !,
1891.

concludes that the practice of the Kansas

transferring passengers and baggage free of
charge at Leavenworth Is a violation of the
Western Passenger association agreement,
and orders 1t discontinued. If the order is
obeyed by the road IN question, its business
in Leavenworth will be practically ruined,
as its station is on the east side of the river,
and it can only compete with other lines at
that point by absorbing transfer charges.
