TOO MUCH REVENUE.

The idea of the Senate Finance Com
mittee was that revenue tariff
should be again placed upon sugar
to supply the deficit in the Wilson
bill and at the same time to get rid
of the bounty to be paid. The duty
on sugar under the Walker tariff was
33 per cent. ad salorem, when sugar
was worth about twelve cents
pound. In the present Senate
amendments the duty is placed at 40
per cent. ad valorem, equivalent to
about one cent pound, as against
about four cents under the Walker
bill. 1t is estimated that this will
produce a revenue of thirty million
dollars annually. Adding to this
the ten millions now paid as bounty,
which will be saved, will have the
effect of creating forty millions of
revenue. But this will only produce
increased taxation to the amount of
twenty millions, as ten of the thirty
millions collected on sugar would
have been paid as bounty.
THE other amendments and
changes in the Wilson bill made by
the Senate Committee are of much
less Importance and great number
of them are either formal or imma-
terial.

THE TARIFF ON COAL,

which has never heretofore been less
than rs cents a ton, is practically cut
in two and placed at forty cents.
About the same proportion is observ-
ed in the cut on iron ore. These
amendments, in my Judgment, will
not amount TO much one way or the
other and were not made sine qua
non by any one The theory Of the
Finance Committce, no doubt, was.
that in changing the revenue system
of the country from high protective
system to Democratic idea of tariff
for revenue il was better to reduce
the turiff in all cases than to make
too sudden and extreme changes by
placing Too many articles upon the
free list and in that way running the
risk Of too greatly disturbing the
business Of the country
The iron schedule Is somewhat
changed from that Of the Wilson bill
but tho average duties IN that sched
tlle are not materially changed, The
changes are largely Of classi lcation,
