The report, OF attempted report, Of the
Ways and Means Committee in favor Of
free coal, is a sheer burlesque, and it
proyes that that committee cannot be
trusted even to execute positive decree
OF the House. Instead OF reporting bill
simply to repeal the duty on coal, they have
brought one in to exempt the proprietors
of American coal minea from the payment
Of any income tax! The income
tax, supposing it to be at
all germane to the question,
amounts to one-haH OF 1 per cent On the
capital invested in coal mines, [supposiug
them to pay profit Of 10 per cent on the
capital inrested). The duty on coal is SLAB
per ton, which il equal to Is per cent IN
gold on invoice value of Nova Scotia coal,
To attempt to offset this enormous duty
with u ,'szgarly income tax, is, IN itself, an
extremely cao~niah performance, and one
which Maynard, OF T Taunessee, would be verv
apt to consider good ioAa, and which MI.
Blair, Of Michigan, would be likely to mistake
for statessznanship. But the attempt to mi,
the two things together was dishonest de
v1eo ta defeat and evadc the express in
: attractions OF IL. House. They knov YER
well that they cannot ss-o1e out the pro
nrietors Of coal mines for exemption fror
the payu,ent of income tax They h4-.
thst the income tar has nothing to do Wit
