a TARIFF COMPARISON.
Dates on Which Bills Were Passed
nnI SiHncI.

Washington. May 25.-Mr. IT. Fl. Evans.
the treasury statistician, who has perform
ed all similar work for the WaES ana
means committee of the house and the
finance committee of the senate for the last
twenty wears has, under the direction OF
tho, finance committee, made a comparison
between the Mckinley, Mills, wilson ana
senate bill as amended. It shows that the
reduction from the Mckinley Dill by the
Wilson bill was 1855 per cent, and the re-
duction from the Mckinley bill by the SEN
ate bill as amended is 2579 per cent. The
reduction which would have been made by
the Mills bill upon the same basis oftcal-
culation would only have been lao per
cent AS considerable comment has been
made charging delay in the passage Of the
present tariff bill, it is but fair to give the
dates when the several bills during the
last fifty years have passed the senate, so
that a comparison can be made by the
recnle and a conclusion reached as 10
whether the work upon the present Dill
has been as rapid as that upon it's prede-
cessors:
Walker tariff, 1886, passed the senate July
2S 1916, and was approved by the preSluehl
July 80, 1876.
Morrill, tariff, 1861, reported to the house
March H. 1860. passed the senate February
90 1861, and was approved March g. 1851.
Tariff bill of 1868 passed the senate June
90 1868.
Tariff bill of 1889 passed the mousse June
81 1882 passed the senate FEBRUARY ~
1882 and was approved March 3. dSS3.
The Mckinley tariff passed the senate
September TO- 1890, and was approved by the
president October i, 1890.
j. seems to be the consensus of opinion
by leaders upon both sides that the t2rllL
bill will pass the senate about the mlddle ol
June.
Comment has been made upon the fact
that the finance committee has offered 409
amendments to the Wilson bill Inc same
committee offered to the Mckinley bNl 599
amendments that changed its substance
While of the 409 amendments offered to he

The boy then told OF the knocking down of
