The pension Appropriations.

The rapid work done by the Pension
Office force is adding largely to the list
OF pensioners, and members Of Congress
interested in the Pension Approprla-
tion bill declare that it would not be
good policy to make such sweeping re-
durtions of Internal revenue taxation
as are advocated by Judge Kelley. The
last Pension bill amounted 10 nearly
one hundred million dollars, and eacn
day adds to the lists of pensioners, so
that it is very likely that for some time
TO come the Pension bill will annually
increase in amount. Besides, the Dlll
to Increase the pensions of soldiers "ho
lost a limb has passed the House ana
will probably pass the Senate, adding
thereby something to the annual appro-
Driation.

THE TAKHFF COMHIss1oN.
a sweeping Rsduetlon Recon-
mended in Many Articles.

WASHINGTON, Dec. THE report
of the Tariff Commission submitted tC
the House of Representatives to-day by
the president of the Commission, Mr..
John L. Hayes, is long and compre-
hensive document, with q formidable
appendix. The first and second parts
are devoted to descriptions of the work
of Investigation and of deliberation, the
latter covering period of FIVE weeks
spent in going over item by item all
the articles concerning which testi-
mony was taken.
The report next comes to the question
of rates, in determining which it relied
upon Its own judgment, having regard
to the demand for general reduction.
The Commission declares that high
duties have atteDdency to create preju-
dice, to encourage unsafe Investments
OF capital, to cause plethora of certain
commodities; that the time has come
when reduction from high war-rates
can safely be made, and that the in
crease in the productions of the older
industries is sufficient to admit of re-
duction without impairment of ability
to complete.
The reductions on the average and as
a whole approximate twenty per cent,
and will perhaps reach twenty-five per
cent. But no definite estimate can be
made of the proposed reduction upon
the revenues from import duties. The
Commission says it has been sought in-
variably to make a discrimination in
the rate of duties imposed upon man
ufactured product and the raw mate.
rial, or partially manufactured
product of which it is made, the object
being to impose higher duty upon the
latter.
Appended to the report is full tariff
bill, with schedules and references to
fifteen schedules, describing the reasons
for making the proposed changes. 1t
may be stated that the reduction fixes
the duty on steel rails at $l7.92 per ton,
or so cents per 100 pounds, and all parts
! of the iron schedule are consistent with
this. There is an entirely new schedule
of chemicals based on scientific meth
OILS, and schedule upon metals arrran-
ged upon a new plan. The reduction
upon wool, it is stated, will commend
itself to to the public, the greatest re-
duction being upon blankets. No duty
is recommended on quinine, and the
duty on wood pulp is abolished, though
that on wood and lumber is retained.
The report is unanimous,

River and Harbor 4 ApprOprlaIlOMa

The resolution introd uced by Repre-
sentative Amos Townsend, inquirtng
Of the Secretary of War for detailed
statement regarding the balance of ap-
preparations available, ana what
amount will be necessary to complete
any work on rivers and harbors now in
progress, was framed, because there is
an idea in the minds OF many members
of Congress that River and Harbor
bill can hardly be dispensed with this
session, even though such measure is
unpopular. tits asserted that the ap.
preparations available arc not sufficient
to allow of the continuance OF all the
Improvements now in progress, and to
stop all work upon them would serious
ly interfere with navigation and CON-
merce IN general, and also cost much
more in the end to repair damages to
said Improvements by the delay than
il would to 60 on. 1t is to obtain an
intelligent understanding of the matter
that Mr.. Townsend introduced his res
OlutiOn. He is one of the embers of
the Committee on Commerce which re-
ported the last River and HarbOr bill.

Barbour County index. [volume] (Medicine Lodge, Kan.) 1880-current, 1882-09-08

| A correspondent of the Texas Live
Stock Journal, writing from Austin, the
Capital, has this to say on an importanl
subject to the stock men:
"Some weeks since the writer hereof
was mnch pleased with the sentiments
contained in well written editorial which
appeared in the Stock Journal upon the
subject of stockmen being represented in
the legislature. Since then have noticed
that some of the counties have moved in
the matter, and the chances are that when
the eighteenth legislature assemblies, there
will be number of live active stockmen
in the body to guard the interests of, and
secure recognition and protection for that
industry which Is now paramount to all
others in the state. They will exercise an
influence hitherto unfelt in the Legislative
halls of the commonwealth not that they
will be aggressive or dictatorial because of
the immense capital they will represent,
but because they will cone as the champi-
ons OF cause that has heretofore been
without leaders. That much good will
result to the thousands of stockmen scat
tered over this empire state, from the en-
actment of healthy, needy laws, drafted by
those familiar with the wants of those they
represent, no one who will question. IL
behooves the stockmen. then, to look well
to this important matter, and in the coun
ties where their interests lie, select their
best men, and never cease working for
them until they see them "rounded-upr in
the legislature.
