Some 50 years. Part* of the coffin re

Committee Approves Reductions.
VGwffiington. — Continuing its work
of rewriting the tariff bill, the senate
finance committee majority has apv
proved reductions in the duties orig
inally proposed on cotton cloths and
some cotton goods, including hose and
half-hcrae and underwear and other
wearing apparel. Some attention also
has been given to the woolen sched
ule, but it is understood th^d the com
mittee will make few-if any changes
in the rates in that schedule..
Under the changes in the cotton
schedule, duties on cotton cloth would
not exceed 45 per cent ad valorem as
compared with original duties in some
cases of 60 per cent and more. In
the place of "rate's on hose and half
hose ranging from 15 p6r cent ad
valorem and 70 cents per dozen pairs
to 80 per cent ad valorem, the T^ajorlty
has fixed a straight duty of 10 cents

“Whoa tbe budget waa submitted

‘the estimate Indicated a deficit for
1P22 amounting to 624.448.701 aad the
better ahowtag which baa been made
results from a combination of several
factore. Aggregate receipts for year
were about* $140,000,000 greater than
originally estimated. Customs receipts
proved to be larger than for any pre
vious fiscal year In the history of the
government, and amounted to $356.-
443.387.18 a scompared with the es
timate of $275,000,000,000.
Internal revenue receipts amounted
< to 61,213.253.256.79 or almost exactly
j the estimated $3,214.500.000. ? Miscel
laneous revenues, including Panama
canal tolls, amounted to $5^9,407,-
506.97 as compared with ap estimated
$478,953,663, the difference being due
chiefly to increased realization on
property and securities and the sale of
about $44,000 of Federal Land Bank
bonds owned by the government. To
tal expenditures on the other hand
were almost $200,000,000 less than the
estimate given last December in the
budget, due largely to decreased ex
penditures on account of the railroads
and to unexpectedly large realization
j upon railroad obligations held by the
government, including particularly
equipment trust notes." .
The total gross debt of the United
States on June 30 amounted to $22,-
