THE NEW TARIFF BILL,

BY the present rate on tariff and In
ternal taxation, the surplus In tht
Treasury after meeting the expenses oI
government, pensions and the legal re
quirements OF the public debt. is $50,
100000 per annum. The amount II
taken every year from the channels o.
trade and stored In the Treasury, a temp
tation to jobbers and an incentive u
Congressional extravaganza.
To reduce II $2t, 100000 a year ls ont
object OF the tariff bill Of Colonel Morrl
son. To correct inequalities In the OK
listing mode Of levying dutles, prlncl
pie Endorsed by the National Conven'
tions Of both parties at Chicago In 1884
Ia also m object.
The bill does not touch the meta
schedule, although free ores are surely
Os important 90 free vol, but puts on
the free list, exempt from tariff dutlos
hemp. lumber, salt and WOO, and reduces
the duties on woolen and linen goods
sugar, etc.
Great opposition will unq1cstlonably
be made TO placing wool on the free list
Already energetic protests are made and
more will follow. The Democratic
members from Ohio and Pennsylvania
and some others In sympathy with them
will oppose this feature Of the bill, and
with the full Republican vote may sue
ceed In striking II out. But there are
Republicans representing woolen man
ufacturlng intere its that may vote fol
free wool, and In that event the result
would be doubtful,
Putting lumber on the free list Is The
proper thing TO do although no doubt
the monopoliets who have bought up
great quantities OF pine lands, will
squeal and object. Congress- and most
Of the States are passing laws to encour'
ago timber cnlture aud protect our for
este, and why offer q money premium
for their speedy destruction by Imposing
n tax on the importation Of Canadian
lumber. This cranky notion Of the
Protectionists runs little ahead OF
their absurd theories, The Pittsburg
Post thus concludes IN article:
Looking nj the bill az II will affect
the manufacturing and mining inter.
ests OF Pennsylvania, II seems 10 us
clear It's results will be beneficial, and
especially 81 10 labor Free lumber
means cheaper houses, free salt means
cheaper meat aud 1sh, free wool means
cheaper clothing for men, women and
children, cheaIer carpets and cheaper
blankote; while the reduction IN The
duties on eugar means cheaper sugar
And we cannot SEQ that In any particu
lar II Affects iDjuriously the working
men or lnyoeted capital OF the State, OK
cept ae tho placing OF wool on the free
list operates against wool growers,

THE NEXT CONGRESS.

Republican organs are blowing like
gasbags these days-ln fact blowing
and Dragging AZ usual.
They are going to sweep the country
this fall and have the next Congress- TO
themselves. Republicans are good at
counting their chickens before they are
Matched. Let us see.
The present House has Democratic
majority Of 4b. and II will be agreed by
both Republicans and Democrats that
no changes are probable In the States of
ALBANIA, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecti-
out, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kansas,
Kentucky, Maine, Minnesota, Missls'
sippi, Nebraska. New Hampshire, North
Carolina, Oregon, Rhode Island, South
Carolina. Texas, Vermont. Virginia and
West Virginia. These States In the next
Congress will be essentially the same
30 far as political complexion 10 con
cerned as In the present. II any
changes they will Offset each other, and
neither party will lose or gain,
As TO the other States California 10
represented In the present House by
Ave Republicans and one D.mocrat,
which Ia very much out Of the usual
proportion In that State. II is al
most certain the Democrats will gallo
three there, and equally probable they
will gain one In Nevada.
Michigan Ia represented now by seven
Democrats and four Republicans, and the
Democrats will probably gain another
Congressman. In Indiana oil the Re-
publicans can hope to do Is 10 hold their
own, and II there Ia any chance II Is
that they will lose member In the
district now represented by Mr.. Steele,
who was elected by 81 majority. Mary
land has one Republican representative,
who will have good luck II he gets back
again. There are two Republicans from
Missouri, both liable TO be lost and
three from Tennessee who will hardly
got back again. New Jersey 10 repre-
sented by three Democrats and four Re-
publicane, and II there is any change
there II will be In favor OF the Dsmo
Gratis. In New York there is no good
reason for supposiDg that either party
will gain, and the same may be said Of
Pennsylvania, now represented by eight
Democrats and twenty Republicans.
The Republicans may gain few Con-
gressmen In Iowa, Illinois, Massachu-
setts and Ohio, but there 10 nothing GER
tain even about that. All they can
reasonably expect In these States will
not any more than counterbalance the
losses they are almost certain to incur
elsewhere, and they will have done
nothing toward overcoming the forty
I've Democratic majority now against
them In the present House.
