What DO They Propose 7

The Democratic bill for the reduc-
Hon OF war taxes has been defeated.
Three-fourths of the votes by which
that measure was killed were given
by Republican Congressman. There
fore the Republican party is chiefly
responsible for the defeat of the bill.
Now what does the Republican
party propose in the way of tax re-
duction? About one hundred million
of dollars in excess of the actual re-
quirements of the government are
annually wrung from the indus
tries of the people. The Republican
party as represented in Congress is
evidently content that this gigantic
levy of unnecessary taxes shall go on
indefinitely.
While the Republicans in Congress
will not move step toward the abo-
lition or reduction of needless taxes,
some of their allies who masquerade
as Democrats talk about abolishing
the Internal Revenue. But they do
not mean it. They have no idea of
voting for free whisky in the face of
the fact that they voted to keep the
present high tariff tax on clothing,
blankets, salt, sugar, building mate
rails, mechanics tools, farmers i'm
plements and other common necessi-
ties of the American laborer, artisan
and farmer.
Bullet the Internal Revenue system
be abolished-stop piling up annual
ly hundred millions of surplus in
the Treasury to tempt Congress to
reckless expenditures, to invite waste
full administration of the government
and to corrupt politics to such an
extent that plutocracy would natur-
ally take the place of the Republic.
Besides the repeal of the Internal
Revenue system win not only wipe
out the surplus, but leave deficit
What will follow? Why inevitably
revision of the tariff on reueR9e ba
sis. Prohibitive duties would then
have to give way to lower rates, for
the present excessive duties on many
articles of import produce no revenue
at all, preventing, as they do, the i'm
portation of the articles on which
they are laid. No matter which way

The first step toward reform is to
cut down taxation; curtail revenue
receipts; give the Government a scant
supply of money. and thus compel
economy in all departments. Can
anything be plainer2 This was the
object and purpose of the Morrison
bill. This bill was the first step in
the right direction. Of course the
Republican party took Issue, and the
defeat OF the bill is o victory for the
Republican party.

Mr.. Herbert Spencer has put a
great deal of political pith into a
nutshell, which is in substance that
"A comparatively small body OF
politicians, coherent, having com
mon interest, and acting under CEN
trail authority, has an immense adj
vantage over an incoherent public,
which has no settled policy and can
be brought to act unitedly only I'M
der strong prOv0cation. Hence an
organization of officials, once pass
ing a certain stage of growth, be-
come less and resistible.n

Are Republicans, Woodworking,
honest Republicans, entirely satisfied
with the action of their party in Con-
gress against any modification of the
extreme war tariff, by their solid vote
against the Morrison bill, which pro-
posed the moderate reduction of only
20 per centuma The help OF few
Democrats enabled them to defeat
this conservative measure of reform.
This does not commit the Democratic
party to the maintenance of the
present extreme tariff, but it does
commit the Republican party to it,
and makes that it's paramount princi-
Pile. Do tariff reform Republicans
like it? It is a step backward; step
that tramples under foot the report OF
their own Tariff Commission. It
commits the party to extreme 'tprotec-
ton, to continuance of war taxation,
to the collection of more revenue than
the government needs for honest,
economical administration, and hence
proposes to continue corruption and
Star route rule. Is it not evident
that the Republican party is in q box ?
The Democratic party may be in a
plight, but the Republican party is in
q position far worse.

"The Baltimore Manufacturers
Record" states that there is no let-np
in the organization and building of
new cotton mills and the enlarge
ment of old mills at the South. A
prospective reduction of the present
tariff rates has no terrors for mills
situated in sight of the cotton-field.
On the contrary, the admission of
machinery at the proposed reduced
rate viii decidedly encourage the
multiplication of mills in the South.
New mills are being pushed forward
and old ones extended at Durham,
Yadkin Falls, Mountain Island Laurel
Hill, Fayetteville, Patterson and
Rockingham, in North Carolina. at
Columbia, Trenton, Nashville, Knox
vile and Pulaski, in Tennessee; at
Charleston, South Carolina; at Athens
and Columbus, in Georgia; at Selma
and Talladega, in Alabama, and at
Roanoke and Lynchburg, Virginia,
the raising of capital for the con-
struction of new mills is considered
assured. These are the enterprises
which have taken shape in the past
two months, but when in so short a
time so much is done the Record is
right in considering that such activi-
ty is phenomenal
