; Tho, implication of tho full text df
iho tariff Act of 1913 would take
atfout oigliteen full pages of The
Commdner, and would require bgv
feral ifefmcs to complete it. For tho
convenience of our readers, how
over, tho complete list of tlfe ndw
Bchedujofl is reproduced below. Along
with tho -new rates is also given tho
old rates of tho Payne-Aldrich bill.
'.This will bo found "useful for the pur
pose of study and reference.
The first section of tho new tariff
act ' cdntains simply the conipjeto
dutiable list with rates, in para
graph form. These are given in full
beloW in tabular form. The second
section of tho bill is devoted to the
income tax its regulations and meth
ods of loyy. The third and last; 8eC
ilou of the bill is devoted to tho ad
ministrative features of the bill, the
collection of revenues, custonls regu
lations, etc. In the tables below- the
"Old Rate" is given first -and the
"New Rate" follows, separated in
each instance by a small dash.
For the compilation of these lates
we are indebted to the Detroit Satur
day Night and the Now Yotit' Times.
The Saturday Night says: "It wag
compiled by exports immediately
after the acceptance of the schedules
by tho joint conference. A .tremen
dous amount of work was. involved,
ag the original rate was split into
different classifications in hundreds
of cases, thus making it necessary to
subdivide the Payne rate, wherever,
possible, for exact comparison. .In
the following tables for the purpose
,of simplifying comparison, certain of
the, .old , duties, compounded, of ,'ad
.valorem' (according to value) and
specific' (according to quantity)
rates, have been reduced to percent
age ('ad valorem') equivalents.
Those equivalents and the corre
pponding increases and decreases are
marked in each instance by an
asterisk (). Tho percentage equiv
alents wero obtained by calculations,
based upon statisties of 1912 imports.
3For example, in the case of collodian
the old rates ranged from a minimum
of 40 v,cuts a pound to a maximum of
65 cents a pound plus 30 per cent ad
Valorem, Under these varying alid
complex rates the sum total of duties
collected in 1912 on imports of collo
dian wag, equivalent to 72.11 per cent
of the value of those imports. The
now duty is a simple ad valorum rate
of 15 per cent, showing a reduction,
as nearly as it can be estimated of
57.11 per cent. A preponderance of
the Payne law rates was speciilp,
while, a preponderance of the, new
Tates is ad valorum."
