THE AMENDED BILL.

The Senate Committee on Finance yes
terday reported the Dingley tariff bill with
numerous amendments. Indeed. so many
changes have been made, or rather pro-
posed. that it is practically new bill.
The sugar schedule has been readjusted.
Tea is to be taxed at 10 cents pound
until January /. 1900. after which time 1t
goes upon the free list. Hides are taken
from the free list and taxed at IL cents
per pound. Coal is to be dutiabie at 10
cents per ton.
The internal-revenue tax on beer Is
raised from 81 to $1.44 per cask; this pro-
vision TO continue until January l, 1900
The absurd and monstrous retroactive
clause of the Dingley bill is stricken out.
A substitute is proposed for the Houses
paragraph on reciprocity. Poplar and
other wood pulps are placed upon the
free list. Important changes are made In
the internal-revenue schedule on tobacco
The internal revenue tax on plug and
smoking tobacco Is raised from to 8
cents per pound, and that on cigarettes
from 80 cents to 81 per 100o-a 80 per
cent. increase in the former instance,
and 100 per cent. in the latter.
Wool Is lowered in rate in the first and
second classes and increased in the third.
There are some reductions i'll the iron
schedule. Finally, it is provided that the
bill shall go into effect on July LIST, in
stead of on May LIST. as the House pro-
posed.
The Democratic members Of the Senate
Finance Committee are yet to be heard
from. but the Republicans having SEEM
ingly secured the vote of Mr.. Jones, OF
Nevada. 1t is probable they feel strong
enough to reject all amendments TO the
amendments that the Democrats may
offer
We take ii for granted that Mr.. Ding
ley is very indignant at the emascuiation
Of his pet bill. but he must know that
the narrow margin his party has in the
Senate has made concessions 10 indi-
vidual senators Indispensable. Thus, the
amendments as to hides and woods were
necessary to secure the votes of some
Of the so-called granger" senator's.
Whether the bill is improved as a
whole we cannot say until We have seen
accurate comparisons made with the bill
as it came from the House. Certainly,
it still remains a high protective mea-
sure. The daty upon tea and the in
crease of the internal revenue tax upon
beer were made necessary by the APP
prehensions that the bill otherwise wcT'd
not produce sufficient revenue. This
seems a confession that many of the
tariff rates will be prohbltory Of imports.
1t will be at least two weeks before
the Senate takes the bill up for consi-
deration. OF course, the debate will last
for weeks and weeks. And then the
House bill, as amended by the Senate,
will have 10 SO back to the House, and
then a committee Of conference viii fol
| low. And then there will be more delay.
We should think the country might con-
graduate itself, as things go, II the Dill
should become a law by July 18th.

Loans on Real Estate.

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
Here is an important question Of inter-

especially:
Why is ii, with money being refused at
per cent, or at any interest, at banks.
can't il be loaned on prime real estate at
per cent. or less. and if our real estate
does not secure. what does? What is
worth accommodating? 1t either looks bad
~ for property as basis OF prosperity
or business, or else mighty bad for money
accumulated. when it is not available at
5 per cent. on realty. and is yet refused
at per cent. or any interest at bank.
Is the business outlook so proptious
and so near at hand a general improve

THE MORNING MAIL.

in securing from the Pos.-Ohce Depart
ment an order for the distribution on the
Richmond, Fredericksburg and potomac

The effect of that would be TO save an
hour or mere OF the time of our busi-
ness-men at "A period Of the day when mo-
ments are precious. All that the depart
ment has TO do is 10 put one or TWO
clerks upon the train and have them

that .be carriers would be able to start
upon their routes as soon as the tram

rest Of the mail at the main Office here
would be greatly advanced. too by this
Arrangement, the like Of which other

The fact is that these facilities should
have been afforded US long ago; but we
did not then press our claims as Vigor-

an increase from to cents per pound
