“apn Outline of the New Revenue Measure Be- fore Congress. fis Aim Is to Increase Reve- pues and Encourage Industries. | Committeo Aimed at a Compro- miso Between the Wilson and the McKinley Laws. Agricultural Items in Detail—Co ion Schedule Not Much Changed— The Free List. Washington, March 16#—The new tariff measure presented to the lower pranch of congress by Chairman Ding- ley, of the ways and means con jgentitled: “An act to provide revenue for the government and toencourage the jadustrics of the United States.” The date when the new tariff is to go into effect is named in the preliminary draft submitted to the house as May 1, ° 4897. The bill, as a whole, is a pro- tective measure. ‘The average rates are little, if any, below those of the McKi pill, and in some of the schedules they are slightly higher. Specific duties have been substituted, as far as possible, for ad valorem rates. It is intended to raise from $50,000,000 to $60,000,000 gore revenue under the bill than is pro- vided by existing laws under similar business conditions. When the task of preparing a new Dill was first under- taken the committee was disposed to bevery conservative and framea me we which would be in the nature of a compromise between the McKinley law and the present law. The followir outline of the various schedules i cates the general character of the me wre and the more important cha from the present law which have been made: Schedule A, dealing with chemicals, fF and paints, is far more nearly like the pres- feat law than the McKinley bill, but some important changes have been made. Blue Mitriol is taken from the free list and made ble at 2 cents per pound. Crude borax increased to 3 cents per pound, borate of to 2 cents and refined borax to 3 cents und, Copperas is taken from the ist and made dutiable at the rate of tenths of a cent per pound. The Mc- y yeie is restored on magnesia and ofl. The duties on all lead products ar treased to correspond with an increase tn the rate on lead and lead ore. Acetate of lead is made 3 cents per pound; litharge, 2 eents; nitrate of lead, 142 cents; lead and oe paint containing lead, 3’ cents per ittee, a phate of soda is taken from the free , a and restored to the McKinley rate. ur ore is taken from the free list made dutiable at 49 cents per ton. im tartar is made dutiable at 3 cents per pound. y _ Earths and Earthenware.
