tfr. Dingley ExpIams the New Tariff
Measurc.
Washington, March 16.-Chairman
Dingley of the ways and means COM
mittee, i'll response to a request that
he furnish a synopsis of the new tariff
bill presented by him, makes the fol-
lowing statement:
The bill has two purposes, namely, to
raise additional revenue and to encourage
the industries of the United States.
On the basis of the importations for the
last fiscal year the bill would increase the
revenue abeut S112, 200, 900, divided among
the several schedules roughly as follows:
A, chemicals, $3,500,000; b, crockery and
glassware, $4,000. 900; C, metals, $4,00O,O00;
d, wood, T,750.000; e, sugar, S2,lo0,0o0; I,
tobacco, $7,000,000; G. agricultural, S6,300,-
600; h, liquors, $1,S00000; |, cottons. $1,IOO,-
000 ], jute, linen and hemp, $7,S00O00; k,
wool, SIT 800, 900; manufactures of wool,
S27, 900 900; |. silks, $1,500,000; IN, pulp and
paper, $5s, 900; II, sundries, $6,20O,0O0.
This estimate is on the suppostion that
the imports of each class of goods would be
the same the next fiscal year as in the fiscal
year ended last June But as the imports
OF WOOL were Three tlileS as kItdI anu lilOoV
of wooden goods more than twice as great
in pounds as in 1S93 the committee assume
that the excessive Importation would be
largely reduced by the porposed bill, al
though the fact that our domestic produc.
tion of wool has diminished S,000,O0O
pounds since 1893 will necessitate the i'm
| portatlon of much more wool now than In
the latter years.
Assuming that the importations Of wool
will fall off at least one-thrd from those OF
| 1896 on account Of anticipatory imports t.
avoid duties we place the increased revenue
| from this source at S11.000,000. Anticipat
| ing also that the imports of woolens will
| fall OFF nearly 30 per cent from the enor
| nous imports of 1896, we estimate the in
| creased revenue from this source under the
proposed rates at about $14,000,000. From
sugar we estimate $20,000,000 additional
revenue.
The remaining schedules would afford 9
revenue Of about s39, 100000 on the basis OF
the imports of 1896, but as there would
probably be diminished imports at some
| points, we reduce the estimates on these tt
| $31 ,000,0 900. These would aggregate an ad
ditional revenue Of $S0,000,000 the frs
| year
A further reduction of $5000,00 or $40,
| 100000 for contingencies would leave $40,
| 100000 to $75,oo0,000 as the probable in
creased revenue from this bill the first year
which would undoubtedly rise to $100, 900,
900 the second year.
This Increase Is secured by transferrin,
wool and various other articles from thu
free list to the dutiable list; by increasing
the duty on woolens to compensate tn,
manufacturer for the duty placed on wool
bx raising the dzG. O. lSgsax about three
