NOT A REVENUE PRODUCER.
Under the caption, “Not a Revenue
Producer’ the Public Ledger,
tariff journal says:
that he did not say that ‘the deficit
for the current fiscal year would be
about twenty millions and certainly
not more than twenty-five millions." |
what he meant was that if congress |
should make appropriations according
to the estimates the deficit
year would be twenty million dollars,
Congress, however, is expected to cat |
down the appropriations to meet the |
expected revenue. The secretary is
eareful to add that he did not mean
to convey the idea that he estimated |
that the present tariff bill would be in- |
adequate.
It is nevertheless a fact that the
Dingley tariff bill is inadequate as a |
revenue producer. Government offi- |
cers, of course, express the hope that
in the spring there will be larger im-
ports and that the revenue may be in-
creased, but it is quite evident already
that the bill has failed of its chief pur-
pose, that of producing revenue. Nor
is it surprising that it should have
failed in this respect, for some of the
most important schedules were framed
not in the interest of the nation, but
for the benefit and at the dictation of
the sugar trust, the cattle trust, and
organizations representing the wool

woolens, the lumber dealers aud vari-
