Taxation and Wages.

Chicago IT, Nune.
Nearly twenty years ago, congress,
in 1864, i'll the darkest hour of the
rebellion, invented aud put in opera
ton the most searching and overshad'
owing system Of taxation that was ever
invented in any government Of modern
times. The desperate need of money
necessitated suol an extraordinary
measure. This war TAX WAS justified
at the time on tho ground that it was
intended merely to coVer the time
needed to wind up the war. 1t took
several years, however, to rei. owe 30
much of those taxes as were collected
from the business of msnufact-
uripg, but in time they were removed,
leaving only the taxes collected
from consumers on all the products OF
manufacturing industry. This tax
was intended to do doubly protective.
1t aimed TO protect tho homo manu-
faoturer from competition by foreign
manufacturers, and 1t Was intended
that tho protection should also com
pens ste the protected pergors for such
exaotionD IA protection demanded
of thcm. The tax needed for this
purpose, it can readily be understood
was excl ss,ve, and so frequently dup'i'
Gated % t, bo difficult to eutimate.
In 1867 congress- made an enormous
addition to the protective tariff on
woolen goods, neirly, if not fully, pro.
hibitirg the importation of various
classes of wools and woolens.

THE STEAMSHIP DISASTER
LONDON, January 8 9--Further de-
tails of the disaster to the steamer
City of Brussels say that Captain
Land was one of the first picked up by
the boats, although he, with the chief
engineer, had been the last to leave
the rigging. When rescu cd he was in
the act OF passing life buoy to a
drowning comrade. AS showing the
terrible nature of the collision, the
purser says that the main compartment
of the City of Brussels was cut right
in two. After the collision the fog
thickened and it was dangerous even
for the boats to move about, They,
however, approached the sinking ves-
sci and found boy canned Hamilton

Neither the passengers nor the crew

persons were obliged to leave the ship
with bat little clothing, There Is no
doubt but that If the fog had cleared a
little sooner all would have been saved.

These taxes extend to every variety
of tho various classes of goods tho
cheaper tho quality of the goods the
greater tho rate per cent. 1heee
taxes arc collected on nearly the en-
tire product of the American manu-
facturers, 30 that the American pro
ducars of iron, steel and copper goods,
the manufacturers OF wooden, cotton
and silk goods, are able by law to ex
tort from consumers this enormous
bounty or tax on all they purchase.
Al none of this tax is paid into the
treasury, but is collected by the man
mtsc.urers direct from the consumers,
tho aggregate tax thus collected
amounts annually to a greater sum than
all the other taxes imposed by tho
government, including the whisky and
tobacco tax, and if 1t formed part OF
the revenue of the government it
would be Hutlicient to pay the whole
national dab5 in few gears.
The recipient of this bounty are
nov declaring a. Washington through
their attorneys that If congress shall
interfere with these taxes by reducing
them they will close their business,
refuse to mako any more goods, and
fo,ce their meTchsnics TO go out from
their worGshops to raise corn aud
1heat upon tho farms, and thus ruln
tho farmers.
At Pittaburg and In other manu-
iscturiug districts they are passing
resolutions at public meetings and
conveu tons declaring that even with
this bounty OF 30 per cent voted them
by congress they cannot make iron
aad steel, nor cotton or wooden cloth,
and live; and hence they announce o
reduction in tho wages of their labor
of 20 per cent, They plead that the
consumption of their goods has de-
clined, and that they cannot pay the
wages they have been paying. 1t is
| notorious that the coat OF labor did
not exceed ~ per cent of tho cost Of
manufactured goods, and that the
wages paid the American workmen dc
not, in many branches, exceed those
paid in England, and In Others do not
exceed an average Of 20 por cont. The
American workman therefore gets q
nominal advance in wages on the pro
duct Of % per cent OF the value oi
manufactured goods, aud pays for th'
manufactured goods no uses % pei
cent more than does his foreign com
petitor. No wonder, therefore, tha
the American workman is, under thu
