SPECIFIC VS.. AID vALOREM DUTIES

The government has been defrauded
out of nearly fifty million dollars a
year by the ad valorem system of levy
ing impost duties, as practiced under
the provisions of the Wilson bill,
says the Cincinnati Commercial Tri-
bune. Democratic apolOgists contend
that the duties collected under the
present tariff law average fl per cent,
whereas the notorious undervaluations
which the system itself encourages
bring the average down to about Is to
30 per cent.
The distinctive feature of the new
republican tariff will be the substitu-
ton of specific for ad valorem duties.
Fraud on the government will be made
impossible. Imported goods will pay
a fixed duty, according to the rate and
the class; a policy of real protection
will take the place OF a matchmaking
sham, and the nations revenues will
be maintained upon solvent basis,

AN important amendment to tn,

AN important amendment to the
interstate commerce bill has been
introduced in the house by Congress-
man Sherman of New York. The
amendment is intended to regulate the
sale of railroad tickets, but if it becomes
a law it will cut off all ticket brokers,
and prevent the transfer or issuance
of railroad tickets or passes by any
one except regularly authorized ticket
agents. The bill proposes to compel
common carriers to provide all agents
authorized to sell tickets with certiti-
Gates of their authority, which must be
conspicuously displayed in their offices.
1t makes it unlawful for others parties
to sell or transfer tickets or passes I'M
der heavy penalties, and fixes penal
ties, also, of fine and Imprisonment for
counterfeiting tickets, and provides
that all unused parts of tickets must
be redeemed by the companies by
which they are issued.
