MORE REVENUE ITS MAIN OBJECT.
BUT THE NEW TARIFF BILL WILL ALSO BENEFIT
AMERICAN INDUSTRIES.

AMERICAN INDUSTRIES.
Washington, Dec. 25-Charman Dingley. Of the
Ways and Means Committee made a statement to-
night of the exact meaning Of the proposed revenue
bill. THE revenue bill" he said, " is not intended
TO be a tariff revision but simply exigency bill
TO raise about 100000 of revenue 10 meet the
deficiency. The main object is revenue. although
incidentally the increases will help American indus
tries to some extent The bill is limited to two and
a half years. the expectation being that by that
time the Republicans will be In full and able
10 revise the tariff on their own lines. Woods
taken from the free list and clothing given duty
of 4-l0 cents go per cent of the duty provided
by the act Of 1890, and woollen goods are given a
specific compensatory duty 60 cent of what they
had under the act Of 1890 in addition to the ed
valorem duty of the present law. Carpet WOODS
are placed where they were under the act Of 1890
and the same specific duty given carpets under
the act OF 1890 in addition to the ad valorem duties
OF the present law. The articles of lumber placed
the free list of the tariff transferred
70 the dutiable list with 50 per cent Of the duty
that they had under the act OF 1890 Then all the
other dutiable schedules Except sugar which is
touched) have all the duties raised Is per cent.
The committee had not the time TO treat articles
separately, and hence horizontal increase became
necessary as to all articles now the free list.
The bond BILL" added Mr.. Dingley gives the
Secretary Of the Treasury authority to issue 3
per cent fve-year coin bond TO maintain the re-
demption fund IN addition to the authority he
possesses, but provides that the proceeds Of all
bonds sod under this and under the Resumption
act shall be used only for redemption purposes.
1t also provides that ali bonds shall be first offered
10 the people Of this country. The bill also au-
thorizes certificates OF Indebtedness bearing per
cent interest and payable within three years to be
issued to meet any temporary deficiency of rev.
enue. The only objects of the bond bill is reduce
the rate OF interest and the time they run as the
bonds which the Secretary is now authorized to
issue bear or per interest The bill prac-
ticaly separates the redemption fund from the cash
IN the Treasury. and is intended to put stop to
the practical use OF proceeds OF bonds meet the
deficiency in the Treasury"

TO have given up the siege of Markalla, where the
remnants OF the Italian forces defeated at Amba

Summarized, the explanation OF the scarcity Of

GtrZMAN BLANCOS OPINION OF ENGLAND

fI
Vienna Dec 25-The Paris correspondent OF the
'Ncues Journal sends to his paper a report OF an
interview with General Guzman Banco. OF Venez-
ucla who Is now in Paris, in which he says the
integrity Of Venezuela Is a vital question 10 all
America If England is allowed to dominate the
Ornoco region, General Blanco declares, she VIII
shortly assume control of the regions of the Amazon
and La Plata. II she should begin war against
Venezuela by the establishment of a blockade OF
the latter's ports all Of the American Republics
would respond by closing their ports against English
commerce General Blanco expressed the belief
thai in the event OF war between Englanu and the
United States an entente would be established be-
tween the latter country and Russia and that Russia
would attack Great Brtan's Indian possessions at
the moment that England attacked the United
States.
The views Of General Guzman Blanco derive their
Importance from the fact that he had charge OF the
boundary discussion when he was Minister OF Fenez-
uela at London and that he was for many years
President of Venezuela. He is now an exile from
his country where his iron rule became at last dis
tasteful to the politicians who. like DR.. Jesus
Munor Tebar a former Minister. now Governor Of
the Zulia. protested against the dictatorial
measures enforced by him. Banco was never sus-
pected of not beng an ardent patriot; and his de-
fence of Venezuelan interests was the principal
cause of the suspension OF diplomatic re aions be.
tween Venezuela and England, which has lasted
since 1855
