Chairman Wilson gave out statement
explanatory of the bill and defending the
measure. Compared with 1892 the pres
ent bill will reduce the revenue about
$5O,OOO,OOO. Mr.. Wilson says:
Sugar has been difficult subject to
1no1 xr-;%h 4
to the free list by the Mckinley biz be-
cause nearly all the taxes paid ON it
went into the public treasury. A strong
desire amongst members of the COM
m:ttee was to put an ad valorem duty Of
20 or % per cent on it, and to abolish
the bounty at onc>'. After much consid-
era ton it was decided to reduce to one
; half the duty on refined sugars, and to
. lepeal the bounty one-eighth each year,
| leaving raw Sl,g&r ul.taxed at present
In the tobacco schedule those rates were
; sought which would bring most revenue,
, The present taxes of $2.75 per pound on
r wrapper leaf have blotted out many
. small establishments and actually i'm
,, paired revenue. We make the rates 81
and $1.75 per pound Oh wrapper leaf and
80 and 80 cents per pound on filler to-
tacco, unstemmed and stemmed in each.
Manufactures of tobacco are put at 40
cents. Cigars are reduced from 80
, per pound and 25 per cent ad yalorem to
| $3 per pound and IS per cent"
