DUTCH TARIFF BILL PUT w
Details of Measure Expected to
Increase Revenue S4,000,000.

The Hague, April 1.-The new tarin
law which was introduced by the gov
ernment in the first chamber to-day is
moderately protective in character. It's
sponsors say that while il Will bring IN
an additional 10,00OOO guldens OF
revenue annually, the new duties will
not be so onerous as TO keep out for-
eign imports. A gulden (of 100 cents) IS
the equivalent Of 40 cents in the money
OF the United States.
Ii is also asserted that the tariff will
no. be high enough to induce the forma-
tion Of Dutch trusts TO put up the prices
of raw materials. The general idea Is
that half manufactured goods shall he
subject to an import duty Of from ; TO 4
per cent ad valorem, and articles nearly
finished to 10 per cent. Wholly finished
goods will he assessed II per cent.
Wheat. coal, minerals, yarn. petroleum
and meal for cattle would remain on the
free list. Fine -four would pay a duty of
40 cents a Dutch hundred Kilograms:
cigars 125 guldens per hundred kilos and
20 per cent ad valorem: cigarettes 2Jo
guldens per hundred klos and 40 per
cent ad valoreum.
The government reserves the power to
use retalatory measures against other
nations whenever IL is thought neces-
sary. 1t is estimated that 9Ob,OUD
