THE TARIFF.
Two Measures which Propose to Ma
terially Reduce tho Revenue.

Special Dispatch to the Boston Journal.
-WAsHINGToN. Feb. 10. Mr.. Mckinley, of
the Ways and Means Committee, says that he
expects that the majority of that committee
will report the Tariff bill to the full commit
tee on Thursday next, which is a regular
meeting day. He understands that the bill
is practically completed, and that it proposes
a reduction of sos ,000, 900, mainly from the
tariff list. Mr.. Randall has also formulated
plan for revenue reduction, which he will
submit TO the House, if it shall not be previ-
ously acted upon by the Democratic party in
caucus. His scheme proposes reduction of
S62 ,o00. 200. mainly from the internal reve-
nue. list. He abolishes all internal revenue
taxes. He reduces some of the revenue now
derived from customs by increasing the duty
on certain articles to the prohibitory point !;
for instance, he increases the duty on tin
plates from cent per pound to l-2 cents
per pound. He makes some other similar
changes in the tariff list. The changes which
he will propose in the tariff are chiefly in the
way of reductions and the enlargement of the
free list. He does not interfere with the So
called protected schedules. Mckinley was
asked whether it was probable that there was
TO be a Democratic caucus upon the bill
which Mills has prepared, He replied that
he had heard that an effort would be made to
call a caucus, but he had understood that
Randall and his followers would not attend
the caucus unless they were pretty certain in
advance that Randalrs proposition would be
adopted. Mr.. Randall has not vet reduced
his propositions TO the form of bill.

A Veteran Republican

All Of the older and many of the young
er members Of the Republican party have
lively and kind remembrance Of Francis
f.. Spinner, who prior to the war was "A
member OF Congress from country dis
trict In the Empire state, one of the
sternest and most uncompronsng OPP
ponents Of the firc-caters and slave. holders.
Abraham Lincoln appointed him Register
Of the Treasury, and his peculiar signature
to the United States greenbacks deeply
interested hundreds Of thousands Of the
Union soldiers in the field. Now an aged
citizen nearly approaching his ninety, he
has a delightful home about eight miles
from the mouth Of st. Johns river and on
the Atlantic coast Of Florida, one Of the
most beautiful spots in the State. The
beach il one of the finest on the Atlantic
coast. In this pleasant retreat he has
lived for more than two years in Il canvas
tent on the edge of the bluffs, enjoying
the balmy brcenrs. Recently, says the
Albany journal, he wrote to Northern
friend a. follows: my health is better
here than anywhere else. The -at air is
better tonic than any medicine. The

last night;

wool men in our section! Well, we have
large wool interests, but We also have a good
many Democrats, and you know what that
means. The wool people are decidedly in
opposition to Mr.. Cleveland's message on that
matter, and I'm sure that they will not elect
a free trader in opposition to prOtectionist.
OF course the Congressional districts are
almost overwhelmingly Democratic hut in
my district, the Galveston, we elected Tom
Ochiltree once as a Republican. The next
year there was some trouble there among the
politicians or a Republican might have been

dous ma jority to overcome but we are work

Our people are liberal and broad gauge and
welcome and encourage immigration, and the
influx of new ideas and fresh blood will go
our way. Well. our wool people held meet

they can not compete with foreign wool grow

was any prospect that the Presidents views
would be carried out we would undoubtedly
be reinforced by great many Democratic

that. They will support Mr.. Cleveland, but
not his message. They will cut that all to

One of the dirticst tricks of partisan
Journalism is to quote the language of
newspaper and then give il a false elias
sification for the manifest purpose of
deceiving portion Of the public Just
this ofiense the New York Post is guilty
of when it calls the present Providence
journal Republican newspaper. Ii might
Just Ms well term Benedict Afnoldian Ameri-
can general after he became a British briga-
dier. Once there was a Providence
Journal with the brain and heart of a
Republican newspaper. 1t did splendid
service for the Republican cause. The
present Providence Journal is rs deadly
hostile to the Republican party and its
chief measures and tendencies as the Post
itself. and rs un-American a though
published in Liverpool. Within the past
fifteen months it has bitterly opposed the
Republicans on two questions-those two
now the most essential of New England
Republicanism. and in accord with the
future tendencies aud logic of the Re
publican .party-the protection of Home
Industry and the restriction of the Liquor
Traffic. That little clique of woolen-
manufactures, of which the Providence
Journal is the organ, who want protec-
ton for themselves and to leave the
American farmers wool to the mercy of
foreign competition, they have the I'M
doubted right to maintain newspaper to
represent their views, but it is mean in
the Post to denominate it Republican. 1t
is passing goods under false pretences.

If we trace carefully the succeeding stages
of the worlds history we shall find that the
tide of Imagination even TO the present day
has ALWAYS been toward the West. ami pre-
dict that it will continue in that
direction. In ancient mythology the origin of
woman was in doubt. The generally ac-
eepted theory, however, is this. The Hindoo
God in making man made a mistake and gave
him three legs instead of two. Amputating
the superfiuous limb he began making expert
ments with it altering here and there and &C.
casionaIly making addition.
Lo, the result was woman lapplause)
This so afflicted the heather god that he
shut himself up in dark prison, and re-
manned there the rest of his days with incon-
solable grief, because the women had given
him more trouble than all the men he had
ever created.
In Greece women were treated as unclvil-
lied beings. The Grecian husbands kept
their wives in object ignorance. If any dared
TO rise above the level of their fellow slaves
and strive for an education they lost their
goo name. Some however, fearlessly broke
she chains of bondage and defiantly said, call
us harlots il will not make US such. Soon
marriage died out in Greece and as a result
Greece fell And every nation

promotion of debauchery and lust

The conquerors of Rome were rough I'M

ly protected and guarded their wives. In
return the women were of great assistance
TO their husbands in all duties of life.
Christianity lifted marriage from the relation
of slave to master, to the equality of both
contracting parties.

AN INTERESTING PAPER.
The New York Herald OF April 18th
1865

An Augusta man has handed the journal
reporter newspaper which is genuine curl
osity, and at this time a decided acquisition.
1t is a copy of the New York Herald publish
ed Saturday, April 18th, 1868. and containing
the first intelligence of the assassination OF
President Lincoln and the attempt upon the
life of Secretary Seward. The front page
containing the sad news is
heavily draped in black rule
lines. The dispatches upon the assina-
ton fill about three columns and another
quarter of column is devoted to headlines.
The first dispatch is an official one from the
war department signed by the secretary of
war, Edward NJ Stanton, giving in brief para
graphs the facts pertaining to assassination,
and the attempt upon the life of the secretary.
1t is dated at 80 A. NJ, and announces that
that, 1.-The President is now dying and
closes with the sentence Il have seen Mr..
Seward but he and Frederick were both I'M
conscious" The next dispatch opens with
the startling announcement that AS
sassination has been Inaugurated
in Washington" The account of the shoot
ing and the stabbing of Mr.. Seward are told
in condensed and graphic manner. The
Herald Washington correspondents were evil
IDENTITY journalists of experience and ability.
The whole article is set in paragraphs, each
of which is important. The great tragedy
seems wonderfully near as one reads this ac-
count of it telegraphed Immediately after the
terrible event. The Herald of those days, al
though one of, if. not the leading newspaper
of the country was not much like the Heeald
of today. 1t was but little more than half
the size of the kennebec Journal although
the exceedingly small type used enabled it to
publish large amount of matter The price
was four cents per copy. The editorial
page hears the name of James
Gordon Bennett as editor and proprietor.
The sheet is miserably printed, the type
besides being altogether too small
to be read with any degree of comfort. There
is very little advertising in the paper, the
size of it forbidding This relic is certainly
an encouraging proof of the wonderful adj
vance in the printers Il ade which has been
made in the last quarter OF century
