HR. gORRISOA'S TARIFF BILL.

Mr.. Morrisou'a tariff Bill, which
was introduced in the House on the
10th inst, it is estimated will make
a aggregate reduction Of twenty
millions of dollars on the basis Of
last years importation. The ag-
gregate reduction los proposed re-
duction to free list is about i've
and a half millions of dollars. ln
the metals, pig ironisicdaced f.om
$G.12 to $500 per ton.
There Is a Slightfeduction oh bar
and rolled iron. Heavy steel and
iron rails are reduced from Sl1 to
Sl2.50per ton. Small rails weigh
ing less than twenty-five pounds
per yard are reduced from S2O.SOpcr
ton Slj. There is also some rcduc.
ton in lead and copper. The only
altertion on woods is i'm the third
class or coarser woods for which
there are at present two rales-24
cents per pound on those which
cost If cents on under. AMI , cents
per pound above r. cent. The
two classes are amalgdma'cd az a
common duty OF - SO cents per
pound. On flax and linen goods
there is "a slight general reduction.
The present rates of 30. 30, ETC.,
per cent. arc placed generally >
points lower, making an average
reduction Of H. per cent Sugar Is
reduced 20 per cent. which will
leave the duty on sugar sill about
GO per cent. al valorem. This re
duction is not to apply 10 sugar
from Cuba aud other countries,
where an export du'y is put on it
because of a reduction. These cas-
es, it is thought, might bee met by
increase Of export duIy. There is
a similar provision as to the lumber
which is put on the free list. Can
ada, the principal source Of supply,
will not be allowed to pocset the
duty. The duties on starch, rice
and marble are reduced.

Now that the State debt ques-
ton has been reOpencd and relegat-
ed to its former statu quo, there
seems to be Il necessity for the re-
organization Of the original Read
ulster party. Our voice is for the
calling of a State Convention, to
be composed Of Il proper number OF
delegates from each county, men
of no uncertain position and views
on this important subject, to or
ganize for n new and vigorous fight
all along the line. This appears
necessary from several standpOints;
First, the party now in power
has demonstrated even to its own
satisfaction its utter inability to
master the situation.
Secondly, it has demonstrated
to the satisfaction of everybody
else that it has been guilty of falsi-
fication of promises to maintain
and foster the only settlement that
is feasible and possible.
And, thirdly, to preserve the
State from the shame and disgrace
of a population of her honest OBJ
legations which now, under the
management and direction of the
ultra debt payers, seems danger
ously imminent.
Let the distinctive and exclu-
sive purpose Of the reorganization
of the party be understood to be
the REsETTLEMENT Of the State
debt, and we predict not only the
adherence of an overwhelming ma
jority Of its old members, but the
addition to its ranks of many who
formerly antagonized it.
There must be in the minds of
men of all parties growing dis
gust with either the inability, or
insincerity, whichever you choose
to call it as to this question, of the
party now in power in the state.
The best proof that the Readlus-
tiers can and will settle the matter
is found in the fact that they did
settle it even TO the satisfaction OF
the court which has recently pro
nounced so severely against the
abortive and peurile legislation of
the Funders. Let us have the con-
vention and reorganization =
Pdge Courier.

Silence About The Surplus.

1t will be remembered that dur
ing the campaign Of 1891 the Dem
ocrats, particularly of the South
and West, arraigned the Republi-
can party for keeping so large q
surplus idle in the Treasury. They
portrayed the immense stimulus to
prosperity which would result II
the surplus could be paid ont In
place of being L" hoarded.' The
late Wee President, Mr.. IIcnricks,
created much excitement III the
West by his comments upon the
subject, and Senator Sherman and
others were summoned to the stump
to explain what the surplus was,
whence it came, how it grew, what
it represented, and why 1t was in
creasing. Liberal promises were
made of the relief which would be
experienced by the country if the
Democracy were only put in power
so as to operate upon that surplus.
Cash in the Treasury December
1, 1884, $12S,3lO, 1887; cash in
the Treasury, December !, 1885,
S4SS, Gj7, 1926. The hated sur
plus is over SGO,OOO,OOO greater
than it was year ago, and no
bonds have been redeemed in the
interval. Republicans will not
blame Secretary Manning for keep
ing a good reserve nor insist upon
the payment of bonds with it. But
if Mr.. Hendricks had been spared,
Washington would have resound-
ed with his indignation. He has
gone, and nobody on the Demo
cratic side says u word.

On Monday last, Attorney Gen.
ersl Ayres, in response to an in
quiry from Auditor Marye, gave
his construction Of the effect of the
recent decision Of the Supreme
Court of the United States in the
Virginia coupon cases. This con-
structiOn is likely to be of impor
lance in the new phase OF the Vir-
GINA debt question. 1t is under
stood that the Encouragement, in
effect, says that if the collecting
officers decline to receive for Ii
cense tax, under the late decision
of the Federal Supreme Court, un.
verified coupons, the persons ten
dering them can prosecute their
business without molestation. If
the collecting officers after such
tender, proceed to levy, they do so
at their own risk. ~
The written opinion Of the At
torney-general Was delivered to
State Auditor Marye Monday, but
he declined to give it to the press,
declaring that it would not be good
state policy to do so.
This decision throws open the
doors to the coupons without let or
hinderance. 1t was regarded as a
great triumph for the bOndhOlders.

The Blair Educational Bill was
called up in the U, s. Senate
last Thursday and received its first
stab from a Democrat in the person
of Senator Morgan, Of Ala, who
made a furious speech against it,
denouncing it as "a bill to tax the
honest hard working man in order
to educate the children of the
drunken loafng vagabond who
would not work for his family
Now we shall not object to the
definition OF this measure so bru-
tally furnished by this specimen of
Southern Bourbonism, who is I'M
willing to have seventy seven mil
lions of dollars given mostly to the
Southern States, out of a Ma
tional treasury, which he and his
party have declared was too full
and left full by Republicans-given
we say, in order TO prevent the
poor unfortunate child of a "drunk-
en-, looGng vagabonc" from becom-
ing one like his unfortunate father.
The reader will please take notice
that Mr.. Morgan, refuses TO accept
from the United States free educa-
ton to elevate and make fit for life
and citizenship the child born with
the curse of what is worse than or
phan age. Once already this great
measure has been knived by a Vir-
ginia Democrat, Mr.. Tucker, and
now the brutal bowie knife Of this
Alabama Democrat is thrust under
its fifth rib.
