AMENDED TARIFF
BILL MADE PUBLIC
Predicted That Measure VIII
Go on Statute Books.
WILL YIELD LARGER REVENUE
A Large Number of Articles Are
Placed ON Free List, Yet an Ad-
ditional Revenue of s5,ooo,ooo 4
viii Be Produced.

Washington, d. G. The amend
ed tariff bill as taken under considera.
tion by the senate Democratic caucus
was made public Friday.
This action on the part of the Demo
cratic majority of the upper house is
taken to mean there is little doubt
in the minds of the leaders of the
party that the measure will go on the
statute books practically as written.
The senate bill, 1t is estimated,
will yield s5,o00,O00 year more rev.
enue han the Underwood bill as
passed by the house.
This additional revenue is derived
from the placement of duty of five
cents a bunch upon bananas, which
it is estimated will yield 100000 per
year and the. repeal of a statute ex-
empting spirits used in fortifying
wines from the internal revenue tax.
This clause is expected to yield ST.
100000 yearly.
Changes In Measure.
The many changes made in the
measure which include the free listing
of large number of articles of COM
mon use was calculated to cut the
revenue of the amended measure $4,-
100000. This amount deducted from
the S9,000,000 which will be derived
from the tax on spirits and bananas

fected by senate revision of the bill.
