That was a . ■ t.blican and protection revision. It | i . made for the purpose of meeting j v (112 exists now in the country—a pop r'.i- clamor for reduction of duties. , :...- the high customs duties incidc.it ; > t'a» civil war had been materially r cd at different times from 18G5 'i to 1880, there wera still heard ■jhout the country strenuous de ; that the customs duties be fur ; reduced. It will be remembered lae tariff commission of that year j . tu 'd a reduction of duties. Well, in ; the Republican congress revised | tariff to reduce duties. The netted- | it- of the tariff were overhauled ;.i .. ;hout, substantial reductions be- j • i. :ide la many cases, and, as a : i i' 1 result of a practical luvestlga- ! ' a of conditions, In some instances | ti v were increases in customs rates, j T.';.. 1 'an total, however, was a not re- j ■ i amounting to an average In the ci;.:, o.'.s rates on free and dutiable go s about 3 per cent. Now, what was the Influence of these tariff ••:.;j;c* upon the customs revenues? In 1381, a year before the tariff j i '.mug *, the net receipts of the gov- j era:;,. ;,t from customs duties were • i:i \ r.:),000. Without considering the i y.-:tr of the change, but passing to a | year liter, when the new law had ail opportunity to demonstrate its full e "■< iency untraunneied by the Intlu i >1 of the changes in importations, it i; fond that the revenues declined rather than increased. In Wie fiscal ye.i" ending June 30. ISS-1, the first full t• ;{*;{i year after the tariff changes, the • ite receipts from customs were '57,000 or three millions less than i the changes and reductions in r.utles. In the next fiscal year there a further decline in receipts from C'.l • down to $1 SI,-171 ,000. 1 . .s.ably no change in the tariff laws v be a better type illustrative of ] I ho influences of reductions in customs i-;. t's than that of lSHii. especially for a con parison with existing conditions UM\:,V. Hut there are other striking 11- ):: itr.itions. hi ISOO the Republican party again made changes in the tariff law for the mowel purpose of reducing revenues raliier than reducing custom.* duties. That resulted in the McKinley tariff. The duties were increased rather than ti train!.-.hed 011 the average line of duti aide goods. But by the removal of the duties entirely from raw sugar and oilier changes the revenues from cus toms were reduced from !?2L':>,S;!2,oot) in ISSJ. the year before the changes, to SI 77.1 .">'.2,000 in 1892, the first full fiscal year inter the changes. The i came the season of Democratic tariff iinkerlng for the express purpose of reducing duties, not revenues. That was the period of disaster. The Demo cratic party reduced the duties oft.
