Obey the LAW.

1t has been publicly stated that two cor
porations, the Passumpsic railway and the
United States and Canada Express, will
contest the collection of the state tax which
under the revenue bill passed at the last
session will be assessed against them. 1t
does not appear that other corporations
have openly joined in this alleged effort of
the two companies named above to break
down law Of the state. Reasonably re-
liable information is to the effect that the
remaining companies, of whatever kind,
will pay their taxes under the law. As
a matter of policy merely, the latter is
much the wiser course for them to pur-
sue. The principle of the revenue bill is
right. The people have endorsed it with
unanimity that has very rarely been
given to any public measure. They will
not recede from their demand that corpora.
tions shall henceforth bear their fair share
of the burdens of taxation. If anything
were needed to clnch their resolution on
this point, it would be resistance to the just
and reasonable requirements of the revenue
bill and particularly an organized resistance
egged on and sustained by outside parties.
The trainers of the bill sincerely strove to
deal justly with the interests which were
brought under its provisions. Wherein
they failed, if they failed at all, experience
will show. Now if the corporations submit
to this measure, as the farmer whose land
is blanketed with mortgages has time out
OF mind responded to the calls of the tax.
gatherer, they will encounter Legislature
In 1884 whose mind has not been prejudiced
or its action forestalled by factious resist
ance. In whatever respects it can be shown
by fair aud willing trial that the law has
worked injustice TO which taxation in gen.
eral is not answerable, the common honesty
and the conscience of men can be relied
upon to grant relief. The fact of a cheer.
full aud ready submission to the law of the
state will plead more effectually with leg.
islators for favorable hearing of alleged
grievances than paid attorneys or crowded
lobbies, Give the law fair trial and then
corporations aggrieved by it will stand on
solid basis in any demands they may make
upon the consideration of future legislatures.
The development Of spirit of animosity
such as resistance would create is TO be de.
plored and in the end would certainly in.
juriously affect corporate interests. The
state is sufficiently strong to assert and de.
fend its rights,-in some other way if not
by the means embodied in the present reye.

Tariff Revision.

The prospect Of tariff revision by the
present congress is not reassuring. The
senate and the house are each at work on
separate bills. The former body may com.
plete its work. The latter has barely fin.
ished the first schedule, and with many long
speeches and much tedious controversy is
wrestling with the second, earthen and
glass ware. Three weeks and three days Of
the session remain. II the house succeeds
in this time in traversing the bill now be-
fore it, harmonizing of the differences be-
tween the two bodies must be accomplished
before the passage of whatever bill may be
finally agreed upon-if, indeed, any agree
ment at all is reached. To novice seeking
for enlightenment on the subject of the tar
If, congress would be the last source from
which reliable information could be sought.
There is wide divergence Of opinion, not
merely on principle, between protectionists,
free traders, and the advocates of tariff
for revenue only, but on matters of fact and
detail between men holding the same belief.
The best that the most astute Of congressman
seem capable Of doing in estimating the
effect of proposed changes is to give a
shrewd guess. 1t is quite generally con.
ceded that the tariff commissions bill,
though apparently accomplishing a reduc-
tion of from twenty to twenty-five per cent,
would in fact by the multiplicity of ingen-
iously devised classifcations have produced
a larger revenue than the existing tariff
1t is " shrewdly guessed that the bill re-
ported by the ways and means committee
of the house would reduce the revenue
about ten per cent or twenty-five mil.
lion dollars. BY the abolition of internal
revenue taxes on matches, national banks,
etc., this amount, it is expected, will b.
increased to about fifty million dollars.
On the contrary the tarff-forrevenue men
assert that the committees bill will effect
practically no reduction of the revenues
These Emergencies of belief or statement
on the main question extend to the minut.
est detail in each schedule. The reduction
of the rate on sugar will aggregate, it i.
generally agreed, about ten million dollars
The revenue on this article at present is
nearly fifty million dollars, about one-fourth
of the entire customs receipts. The senate
bill, it is believed, would effect a much larger
aggregate reduction and more fully meets
the popular demand than the house or the
commissions bill. All things considered,
the outcome of this attempt at tariff revi-
zion is somewhat doubtful.

The Financial Drift,

The reduction of the public debt for JAN
uary exceeded thirteen million dollars. For
the seven months of the current fiscal year
the reduction has exceeded ninety-fve mil
lion dollars. This rate of reduction indi-
Gates a surplus revenue for the year amount
ing to more than one hundred ard sixty
million dollars. With millions of dead
money in the treasury to pay bonds which
have been called but which have never been
presented for payment, the treasurer has is
sued his call for an additional fifteen mil
lion of the three and one-half per cent con-
tinued bonds. OF the continued bonds
subject to call there are about three hun.
bred and seventy-five million outstanding.
The government has been paying them at
the rate of about one hundred aud fifty mil
lion year. The government expenses are
not increasing nor are its revenues dmin-
ishing. At the old rate of reduction the
called bonds will be paid off in the course of
a couple of years. These bonds are largely
held by national banks and the government
will have compelled these institutions TO
part with the basis Of their circulation.
They cannot, to replace them, buy four per
cent or four aud one.half per cent bonds, pay
the high premium and do business at profit,
so that many banks may thus oe compelled to
go into liquidation. With revenues undi-
minished and no more bonds to be called at
par. the people will continue to pay an i'm.
mense surplus revenue annually with which
the government may buy its own bonds at
the high market rate. With the doubtful
prospect of effective revenue reduction
through tariff revision, this seems to be the
financial drift.
