fear 1883, which include ad of the regular
ftpproprmtion Wills passed at this seasion,

Appropriât ions aggregate $438,389,530. The
regular appropriation bills during the pres
ent session aggregate $3(15,189,518, while the
permanent appropriations foot up $115,640,
728. The estimate of $13,203,854 surplus for
the fiscal year 1880 has no reference to the
surplus in the treasury at this time,
appropriations during the present sawsion for
the pre s en t fiscal year show an excess of
$04,054,780 over that of last year. Ap
propriations aggregating aliout $5,500,000

from these bills since the preliminary state

Washington, Aug. 31. — Congre aman
Breckinridge, of Arkansas, introduced sav
oral tariff reiiu -tion bills in tho house. They
place cotton bagging, coal oil, petroleum and
cotton seed ou I lie tioe list. One of the bills
provide» that distilled spirits containing 50
per cent, of anliydrou» alcohol »hall pay
UJ cent* internal rev so no tax per gallon,
and that alcohol containing 04 per cent of
nnhydruus alcohol shall pay $1.00 per gallon;
provided that no change of duty shall be
cons'.ru >d to apply to what ü known as bev
erage whiiky. I
Another bill affecting sugar tariffs pro
vide» timt all »agar above Na 13, D. H., and
not aliove No. 10,1). H., shall pay 3 56-100
cents a pound ; above Na 10 and uut above
kio. 30, 3 03 100 cants per pound, and abova
No. 30, 3 7-10J cent» per pound.
Mr. Breckinridge, in explaining tbe ob
ject of these bills to a United Prom repre
sentative, said that he was aiming more at
the trust features than those of the revenue.
He ho|)cd to destroy I lie monopolies and
trusts formed under the present tariff and
internal revenue lawn, W >tb that purpose
in view, and tilso the fact that there was no
prospect of any legislation on tariff in this
congre»» by the passage of either the Mille
or tbe much talked of senate bill, he believed
something may be accomplished by specific
measures. "1 have, in dealing with the
sugar question," said Mr. Ureckenridge,
"nonfilled my propositions to tbe fine sugar.
I have protected the labor involved, and also
the legitimate interests of the refiners and
dealers,
' 1 have reduced the margin on the higher
grade» of sugar liecnnse on those grades are
trusts formed, there being no opportunity to
form a trust on raw or unrefined Slgar. I
put (tagging on tho free list till next March,
when the neu' crop comes in. The article
for consumption till that date is under con
tract, und the contractors are protected by
their cent root. The result of this will be
that the trusts will lie squeezed. Then 1 give
free machinery for the manufacture of Jute.
The alcohol trust is the only one found in
the distilling business.
"1 have proposed a reduction wliich will
tend to break up tho alcohol trusts, make
cheater ulconol to tho manufacturers and
artists, and nt the same time afford ample
protection to distillers who must work
against the 10 cents a gallon bounty given
by thetiernian government"
