PARIS, May 1.-THE international

shone out brilliantly. The weather,
though warmer. is pleasant.

. Northern View of the Situation

More than one Southern member of
Congress has given his reaSonS, in the
presence OF your correspondent, why
an income tax should not be imposed.
They say it will only apply to the
North, and. therefore, Is unfair, as 1T
will discriminate in favor OF the South
and West, where the people have few
comes in excess of $4,000. Then,
in the same breath, they say you want
an income tax in order that Tobacco
NAV be relieved of one-thlrd of the
tax it now pays. They seem to forget
that their argument proves that the
tobacco tax is wrong because 1T dis
counts notes in favor OF rich New
England and the wealthy Middle
States, and against Kentucky. North
Carolina and Virginia.
The New York organs of the men OF
large incomes, to-Hlt., the Times and
Tribune. have articles IL which similar
views to the above are expressed. The
Tribune saws, for examples: There is no
reason in the world for imposing an
income tax. or reducing the Tobacco
tax. except to please the Southern and
Western men. who wish to throw all
the burdens of the Government on the
Dast.
Mr.. Robbins, Of North Carolina, is a
prominent member of the Committee
of WAYS and Means. He introduced
at an early day of the session a bill re-
ducing the tax on Tobacco, and has
taken great interest in every effort
which has been made looking to a re-
ductiOn of the tax. Your correspon-
dent has been present at recent con-
f~erences when Mr.. Robbins has given
his opinions as to the best policy to be
pursued. He now says that Tobacco
can afford to wait no longer, and that
1t Is not only the wish OF the constltu-
ents that the question should be
brought up at once in the House, but
that he himself thinks that this is now
the only true plan to be pursued. |
asked Mr.. Tucker. of the same Com
mlttee. what he thought, and his reply
was: We have determined not TO
wait longer, but. will get the Tobacco
Dill up as soon as possible. This Is
ABOUT the present idea of all of the adj
V~ocates of reduction, but OF course
I4ey can not get d matter before the
house at the exac moment they de-
sire. 1t will be seen, however, from
"hat have written, that they mean
Mr.. Vance of North Carolina, in a
speech made in the House last night,

states and the advantages they hold
ou' immigrants, alluded to Tobacco
