Some idea of tho loss of revenue of the
Dinglcy bill occasioned by these large i'm
portatlons will be shown by the increased
customs receipts March, April May and
June of 1897 as compared with those
months Of the preceding year.
This comparison will not of course show
tho entire los Of revenue to the
Dingley law because the duty which would
have been collected upon these same arti-
ces under thn: Law aro several millions in
excess Of the rntns which have been col
lCcted on them under the present tariff,
but even these figures give something OF
an idea of tho shortage in tho customs
revenues which may be expected under the
Dingcy law during its few months b.
reason of the importations which preceded
its enactment.
The custom receipts in the past four
months compared with those OF the cores
pouding four months OF the preceding
year. arc as follows:
