THE NEW TARIFF LAW.

A brief summary OF the new tariff
Of living follows:
Average percentage OF tariff rates
as compared to the value of all i'm
ported merchandise: Old law 81 per
cent, new law, 27 per cent.
Value OF annual imports added to
the free list, STAT 900 900
Estimated revenues from all i'm
port rates: Old law, $305, 900 600;
new law, s24s, 900, 900
Estimated revenues from corpora
tions and income taxes: Old law, $37,
300, 900; new law, $100, 100000.
Altogether consumers in the United
States probably will receive from
abroad free of all tariff more than
81 900, ,OOO, 200 worth OF merchandise
during the next year.
During 1912 the amount of free
imports" was more than $3.50, ,00O,-
900. and when the tariff is entirely
removed from wool, sugar, iron ore
and cheap iron, and other important
items, the total is expected to in
crease notably.
Under the old law more than SO
per cent OF all goods brought to the
United States from all parts Of the
world paid no tariff, and that proper
tfon will be increased by the new law
The free wool provision of the new
law takes effect December /, 1918;
the free sugar provision May |, 1916
The new tariff law, passed four
years after President Taft signed the
existing Payne-Aldrich law, is the
result Of more than nine months of
work in congress.
In the opinion of its makers, the
democratic leaders OF congress, the
most important features of the new
tariff are:
A reduction of nearly one-half in
the average tariff on foodstuffs and
farm products.
The placing of raw wool on the free
list, and ruduction of nearly two
thirds in the tariff on wooden cloth
ing, especially of the cheaper grades.
