These figures show that the importa..
lions during these four months were Of
wool over 179, ZOO, 900 pounds more in 1897
months of 1896, the whole years impor-
tation of wool in the year 1896 having
been only a little more than $4,000, 600
pounds. In other words there were I'M
months more than 2OO0,0O0 pounds of
wool more than had been imported in
the whole of the preceding year, or in
other words they had anticipated the
supply of wool for more than year.
I wish I had time to compare the i'm
portations by months, comparing 1897
with the preceding year, 1896, and the
succeeding year 1898, but must go on.
This table shows that the importations
of sugar were nearly 91S,OoO,OOO pounds
900, 900 pounds more than in 1898. Taking
all these facts into considerat ton, the
enormous increase in the customs receipts
during the last five months of the opera
ton of the Wilson bill as compared with
the receipts during the corresponding
months of 1896 when conditions were nor
NAL, the great falling off IN hose re-
ceipts for several months after the Ding
ley bill went into operation, the enor-
nous increase Of importations as shown
by the figures as to wool and sugar, aad
1t is impossible to escape the conclusion
that the customs receipts for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1897. were more than
4O, 100000 greater than they would have
been but for the long delay in the passing
of the Dingley bill, or in other words
that 100000 Of revenue had been trans
ferred to the year 1897 while the Wilson
bill was yet in operation instead Of be-
ing collected a. the Usual and proper
time after the Oing,ey Oil went into
operation instead Of being collected at the
usual and proper time after the Dingley
bill went into operation. Also that the
receipts for the fiscal year ending June
30, 1893, were over 5000O,000 less than they
would have been under normal condi-
lions, for it must be remembered that
these enormous anticipatory importations
of wool were free and therefore caused no
part of the increase of over 100000 col
lected during the year ending June 81,
1897, whereas under the Dingley bill they
would have been highly dutiable and
would have added largely to the more
than 40. 900, 900 which would have been col
lected in the first year of the Dingley
bill but for the anticipatory importa-
lions other than wool.
This brings me to answer the claim
that The Dingley bill is failure as a
revenue producer and that even II the
war had not occurred we would have been
Obliged to change the internal revenue
laws so as to increase the receipts, or
else face a constant deficiency. From the

An examination of this table and the
figures found therein will show that the
receipts from customs averaged for the
five months beginning in March and end
ing in July about twelve million dollars
in 1896, twenty and one-half millions In
1897 and fourteen and one-haf millions
in 1898, per month. That is, the monthly
average of receipts from customs under
the Wilson bill for these months when
the bill had been in operation for suffi-
GENTLY long time for conditions to become
normal, was more than two ana one
the Dingley bill for the corresponding
months in 1898, when that bill had been
in operation less than year and when
our foreign complications had evidently
greatly affected the receipts, as is shown
by the falling off in April, May and
June when the certain prospect and the
actual existence of war were upon US.
These figures also show that in the
month Of March, 1897, the month IN
which congress was called and convened
for the purpose of considering the Ding
ley bill, and after it was known through
out the country that such bill would
be enacted, the receipts suddenly IN
creased to nearly double what they were
i'm the month of February in the same
year, from eleven and one-half millions
to nearly twenty-three millions and were
about nine and one-half millions more
than they were in the corresponding
month OF MarCQ, 1850. LII Iue lilohlh VI
April, 1897, these receipts increased to
over twenty-four millions, being more
than double what they were in the cor
responding month of 1896. These figures
also show that the receipts during the
last five months of the Wilson law were
more than forty-three millions greater
than in the corresponding months of 1896
when the conditions were normal.
These variations in the revenue can be
accounted for in no other way than that
the importers, anticipating the operation
of the new law, had greatly increased
their importations in anticipation of Its
going into operation. These importations
were principally of wool which was go
ing to be taken from the free list and
put upon the dutiable list, and sugar and
manufactured goods on which 1t was
known that the rates were going to be
considerably increased. This conclusion
is made absolutely certain when we ex-
anime the figures as to the receipts from
customs for the several months sue
ceeding the passage of the Dingley law
and the figures as to the importation of
wool and sugar for the months of
March, April, May, June and July for
1896, 1897 and 1885,
I hold here in my hand another table
showing the receipts from customs for
the first eight months after the opera
ton of the Dinngley law:

These hgures SNOW tnat tne reVeHues
from customs fell off in the month of
August from what they were In the
month of July from nearly 1900, 600 to
less than 100000, or in other words, the
importers had ceased to bring in those
importations and had already practically
glutted the market with importations,
notably of wool and sugar, but also of
the place of our manufactures.

figures of the treasury department show

 $. M. Taylor, attorney for Edgar Brewster then presented petition of contest as follows.
 To the Honorable Democratic Cen

 County, Arkansas.
 Your petitioner, Edgar Brewster, would most respectfully show to your honorable committee that his name and those of T. NJ. Phillips and H. A. Mccoy were placed on the bal lot as candidates for the office of Sheriff and Collector of Jefferson county, prepared by and under the direction of your honorable com mittee to be voted on by the electors of said party at the primary election held on the l6th day of June, 1898, at the various election precincts of said county, pursuant to resolution of the Democratic County Convention on the 4th day of June, 1898.
 Your petition charges that the un- official returns from said primary show that he received 757 votes, that II. 4. Mccoy received 757 votes and that T. NJ. Phillips received 556 votes

It was reported to the committee that this ballot had been voted with no mark on it except the "X" opposite Mccoy, and that the uames above it were scratched by the judges and the ballot counted for Mccoy. The judges and clerks were sent for and verified this statement. It was con tended that when the ballot was put in the box it was an irregular and illegal ballot, and that the judges had no right to change it, and the mere fact that it had been changed after it was deposited in the ballot box did not make it a le gal ballot, but by the vote of Ii to 10 the commi ttee counted it.
 A motion was then made to count the Saunders ballot for Mir Ere wster. inasmuch as an ire gular ballot had been counted for Mccoy, but the motion was lost by another vote Of II to 10.
 This resulted in Il loss of one vote for Mir. Brewster and made the count a tie between Brewster and Mccoy.
