AMERICAN TARIFF LAWS
By FREDERIC J. HAsKIN.
THE DINGLEY TARIFF

able goods alone the average under the
two laws was substantially the same
approximately 49 per cent.
Mr.. Dingley was also mistaken as to
the amount the new tariff law would add
to the customs receipts. He stated that
based on the importations of the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1897. it would be
$112, 100000 more than. what it was under
the Wilson-Gorman law; but in order
to be conservative he would place the
added reveue from the first years opera
ton Of the bill at $75, 900, 900. What actu-
ally did happen was that the importers
seeing the prospect of very high tar
if, flooded the American ports with
their goods before the Dingley law went
into effect, and its first years operation
brought in receipts amounting to ~
100000 less than those of the last year
under the Wilson-Gorman law. Thereaf-
ter the receipts began to increase, but
even then it took four years for them to
get $75,000,000 ahead of the last year un-
der the Wilson-Gorman tariff All this
shows how even the most competent of
the tariff experts may go wrong in his
calculations.
Not all of the error, however, was due
to miscalculatiOn, but some of IT was the
result of failure of plans. Seeing how
great an advantage the importers were
taking of the days of low tariff grace,
the house proposed to make the law re-
troactive, and thereby catch all the i'm
ports which came in after April l. But
the senate doubted the constitutionality
OF such provision and struck ii from
the bill. Much has been heard about
the constitutionality of protection. In
1882 the Democrats bantered the protec-
tionists to state in the preamble of the
tariff of that year that 1t was "for the
encouragement of manufactures" declar-
ing that they wanted to determine the
constitutional question once for all The
protectionists refused, perhaps for fear
of the verdict that might be handed
down by the Democratic supreme court.
In 1897 these words were used, but as
yet no low tariff man has been bold
enough to trust decision of the matter
to a supreme court while a majority of
it's members are Republicans. 1t is per-
haps the most important question in the
history of the country up which there
has not been rendered a judicial opin-
ion.
Mr.. Taft has the distinction Of having
written the shortest message on a gen.
eral revision of the tariff that has been
written in many a year. Mr.. McKinley's
message was about a third of a column
long, and stands close to that of Mr..
Taft in the matter of brevity. In a great
many ways the history of the present
tariff bill is a duplication of that of the
Dingley bill. The introduction of both
followed hearings held in a previous con-
gress. Both extra sessions met on March
18th. Both times the ways and means
committee was practically the same that
It had been in the previous congress. The
Dingley bill was introduced the first day
of the session, while the Payne bill was
held up for two days. The Dingley bill
was reported back to the house four days
after It's introduction, and the Payne bill
two days. The rule for the consideration

1000 IN MONEY AND
CHECKS ARE STOLEN

LINCoLNToN. May 15.-While Otis
Crook, a prominent farmer, living at
the mountain, was at supper last night
with his family, he heard a noise in
his sleeping room and went to investigate
it. When he reached the room someone
Jumped on tot the window. Mr.. Crook
Jumped out after the runner, but owing
to the darkness he could not keep track
of him.
Returning to the house he procured a
light and upon investigation discovered a
trunk had been broken open and over a
thousand dollars in money and checks
had been stolen. Because of the late
ness of the hour and the darkness moth
ing could be done in the way of trying
20 catch the thief, until the next morn
ing, when tracks Of two were seen lead
ing from the house into the gullies of
the mountain, where they were lost sight
of.
Many valuable papers that were kept
in the trunk had not been molested.

of the Dingley bill made the house de-
bate very short. It provided only ten
days altogether for its consideration in
the house, half of this to be taken UP in
the consideration of amendments, during
which time those of the ways and means
committee should have the preference.
There is always a nice little trick play
ed in the discussion of a tariff BILL The
trainers put the most unimportant items
in the opening paragraphs, such as
paints, chemicals, and oils. OF course
these furnish plenty of room for amend
ment and consideration. BY the time they
are disposed of and congress gets down
to the real meat of the bill the hour OF
voting is close at hand, and there is not
much time left for amending or attempt
ing to amend the more important sched-
ules In the Dingley bill these unin-
portant items served admirably as buff
ers.
When the bill got to the senate the big
gest man there, hailing from the small
est state represented, took it in tow. 1t
was the intention of Mr.. Aldrich and his
friends on the finance committee to make
the average rate of duty somewhat lower
than the house bill, but concessions
were demanded just as they had been
when the Wilson bill was being consid-
cred; and they were granted. Mr.. Al
drich had worked so hard to perfect the
bill that before it was passed he was
forced to go home to recuperate his
health The late Senator Allison was left
I'm charge.
As the bill finally passed the senate II
carried S72 neutrality-suspicious. more
than any other tariff bill that was ever
sent to conference About so per cent of
these were finally agreed to by the house,
certainly more than had ever been ae-
cepted by that body on any other tariff
bill The act was finally passed on July
"a, and the ink was hardly dry on it before
it reached the president and was signed.
The constitution gives the house the
right to originate revenue legislation, but
If 1t enjoys any advantage over the senate
by constitutional grant it has largely lost
it by failure to insist on its prerogatives.
In nearly every tariff bill of recent years
the senate has made a cTazy-quilt patch
work of the house BILL and has then forced
the house to accept from two-thirds to
four-fifths of it's amendments
Not only has the Dingley tariff been on
the statute books longer than any other
tariff measure ever enacted, but il has
been the greatest revenue producer the
country has ever seen. Out Of the eleven
billion dollars collected by the customs
houses of the United States since the
