!W TAKITF RATES. Outline of the Soheduies of the Ding-ley BilL C • Protective MfKnr—Many of the Rates Are Those of the McKinley haw The Free hist. Washington, March 16. "he new tariff measure presented to the lower branch of congress by Chairman Dingley, of the ways and means committee, is entitled: “An act to provide revenue for the governmentandtoencouragethe industries, of the United States.” The date when the new tariff is to go into effect 13 named in the preliminary draft submitted to the house as May 1, 1897. The bill, as a whole, is a protective measure. The average rates are • little, if any, below those of the McKinley bill, 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 more revenue under the bill than is provided by existing laws under similar business conditions. When the task of preparing anew bill was first undertaken the committee was disposed to be very conservative and frame a measure which would be in the nature of a compromise between the McKliiltey law and the present law. The following -outline of the various schedules indicates the general character of the measure and the more important changes from the present law which have been made: Schedule A, dealing with chemicals, oils and paints, Is far more nearly like the pres*nt law than the McKinley bill, but some Important changes have been made.
