AS A REVENUE PRODUCER.
General Appraiser Sharretta on the
Amended Tariff Bill.


Amended Tariff Bill.
T. 8. Sharretts, president of the board of
United States general appraisers at New
York. who has been summoned to Wash
ington to advise the Senate committee on
finance in relation to the tariff bill. was
asked today for an opinion in regard to
the merits of the amended bill as a reve-
nue. producer. and in reply. said:
I'm my opinion. the bill will produce suf-
nc1ent revenue to meet the demands of the
government. The duty on tea will axkre.
gate at least $1O.0OO.0OO, while the increase
provided for In the tax On beer will amount
10 from $l2.OOO.OO0 to $14O0O,0O more The
Increased DUTY on sugar will result in q
material gain to the volume of revenue
over that produced by the act of 1894
Indeed, this increase alone would he al.
most sufficient il times were prosperous
to produce the additional revenue ueces-
sary TO support the government, as the
dehc1ency under that act was due largely
to the depressed conditions 1 estimate the
increase of the duty on sugar over that of
the Wilson law to amount on the average
to about 30 per cent. I do not believe
that the increased rate will materially
affect the volume Of importations
There Will also be large addition from
wool. 1 think the increase from this source
will exceed the possible decrease from the
manufacturers wool due to the rate being

mixed goods. The cotton schedule shows
very little change from the Wilson law
and the same may be said Of the metal
flax and sundries schedules. say that in.
creased revenue on the articles included
IN these schedules would not exceed 5000.
COO
Il think there will be falling off on to-
bacco. for the reason that while the rates
are the same as those Of the Wilson bill.
there Is a limitation on leaf tobacco suit
able for wrappers contained in filler ha los
which will necessarily work reduction in
the revenue from this source. This change
reduces the percentage from Is to 5 Der
cent. This reduction will result In causing
very large proportion Of Havana tobacco
which will be legitimately imported for
filler purposes to be classified for duty at
wrapper rates. and this will necessitate its
being shipped out of the country"
