STILL NO RELIEF

The New York Herald has taken up the
Senate tariff bill for examination To dis
cover, if possible, how it benefits the people
by reducing their tax burdens The dis
coveries it has made are in the other direc-
ton, being additions to the taxation instead
OF reductions.
Borax, which is used in soaps, for glass
making and in many manufactures and arts,
now pays duty of cents pound or 80
per cent. nd valorem. The duty is increased
in the bill to cents, or 100 per cent ad va.
loren. Glue is raised from 20 per cent to
40 per cent Paint materials, some of them
free under the present tariff, are all taxed
by the Senate bill and existing duties on
them largely increased vermilion red, one
of the common paint materials, is now raised
20 per cent, and the Senate bill increases the
tx 10 IS per cent. Spirit varnishes, which
now pay 30 per cent, are taxed in the Sem
ate bill 124 per cent The farmers are to
be taxed ~ per cent more on trace chains
and on wire rods for fencing per cent
more. Ship owners are to pay 10 per cent
more on anchor chains. Common table cut
lery, which is now taxed So per cent, is to
be taxed under the Senate bill so and go
per cent Pocket knives and razors now
pay 80 cent but the Senate bill pushes the
rates up, the range being from 80 to $50
per cent, the highest duty being laid on the
cheapest goods.
That is what the Republican Senate pro.
poses 10 do in the way of relieving the bur
den Of taxation on the masses. That is the
Republican idea OF making the people rich
by making them pay more for the necessa

For several years past every inducement
has been held out by companies and syndi-
Gates for Eastern capitalists to send their
money to the West for safe investment at 10
per cent. interest. 1t is now stated that at
least five thousand mortgaged farms in cen
trail and western Kansas have been aban-
doned, and it is proposed at the next ses-
sion of the Legislature to relieve the people
of Kansas by passing stay-law for three
years. Our credulous investors can then

WILL MIR. CLEVELAND VETO THE
DIRECT TAX BILLY

The measure known as the Direct Tax
bill has passed the House by vote Of 17e
to 96. 1t had already passed the Senate,
but must go back to that body for concur.
renee in the amendments now adopted.
The question of interest is whether Mr..
Cleveland will veto the bill and, in that
event, whether it can pass over his vet,.
Not only in the amount of money, but in
the principles involved, this bill is one Of
the most important that has come before the
Fiftieth Congress. 1t proposes to refund TO
the States what they paid to the Federal
Government on account OF the direct tax
laid by Congress in August, 1861, and also
to forgive the debt still due 10 the Federal
Government by those States which never
paid their full share of that tax. About
$16,0O0,000 would go back to the States and
Territories in various sums, ranging from
New York's $2,213,000 and Pennsylvania
$1,654,000 down to Nevadas $4,592 and
Dakota's $3,241. OF the balances due and
still carried on the Treasury books, which
the bill wipes out of existence, the largest
are Alabama's $511 ,02S, Georgia's SAT-, 404,
and Tennesse's 1881 1853.
This bill passed the Senate last January,
after full discussion, by vote of 4S to 10.
There was little opposition to the measure.
Only i've Democratic Senators voted against
it. The Southern Democrats in the Senate,
as a rule, acknowledged the equity of the
proposal to refund the direct tax. or the
ten Senators voting against the bill, Ave
were Northern Republicans, including ~
Blair, OF New Hampshire
THREE months later, when the measure
came ua,s.ss:he Unrpse4 with VI TIE &oVll
of the Judiciary Committee OF that body,
there was suddenly developed a fierce and
pertinacious opposition, led by Gen. Oates
of Alabama, and this resulted in the memor.
able deadlock OF last April, when every ex-
pedient Of obstructive tactics was resorted
to in order to prevent the consideration OF
the Direct Tax bill. The deadlock lasted
for days, AMI was only broken by compro
mise which postponed consideration of the
bill until after election.

Friday Morning. .... December 81, 1885
IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION

Representative Mckinley is reported as
saying that the talk of the Republican party
being now insured for twenty-five years OF
power is merely extravaganza and that il
the party is to win again in 1892 it will be
upon what it does between 1899 and that
time. 1t cant win on the past"
Mr.. Mckinley is right in that statement
of the situation. The time of any political
party having lease of power for u quarter
of century has gone by. Hereafter the
winner in the quadrennial contest for the
national supremacy will have to fight hard
for the victory and the chances are against
whatever party is in power. Mr.. Mckinley
is right, too, in saying the Republican party
can't win on the past The device of point
ing with pride" TO what it did a generation
However right may have been the record
Of that time it is obscured by the black
story of more recent years There is moth.
ing in the latter history Of the party OF
which its better members can feel proud
and there is much to fill them with shame
and humiliation.
1t will be better for the country when it
becomes understood that no party has a
mortgage on its government and that the
only assurance of second term for the
party in power is record free from faults,
whether OF commission or Of omission. As
that is hardly to be hoped for the chances
are strongly IN favor Of npadrepEisl. ssssiiilE-
Ing Of the pendulum of power from one sid,
10 the other. 1t is possible that phenone
nally successful administration and strong
candidates and platform may double thu

OF the opposition defeat its chances OF get
ting into power, but the drift OF pubic
opinion seems 10 be towards more frequent

On the 14th instant five persons were
killed and six wounded by an outbreak of
negro desperation near Mobile, Miss. A
constable and his posse went to negro's
house to arrest him for assaulting a white
man. Secreted in the house were the Negro
and number of comrades. Three differ.
ent times the constable and his posse were
fired upon as they advanced upon the house.
Finally from his losses as above given the
constable had to retreat for more assistance.
When he returned with his reinforcement,
the negroes had vacated the house and could
not be found at once. Later, three of the
negroes have been caught and hung and
one shot. Within the last few days negro

THE GROWTH OF CRIME.

Crimes increase with the growth of popu.
laton and no matter what the method of
punishment are not likely 10 become less in
number. In every community there is a
vicious class which year by year becomes
more pronounced and more difficult to con
troll because of its environment. Genera
ton follows generation on the same plane,
receiving continued concessions from a
higher plane where the method of life has
downward or demoralizing tendency.
Crime and criminals are always found
where the conditions prevail which foster
them. ldleness and lack of lift are among
the prevailing causes of crime. The son of
the rich man who is not brought up in habits
OF industry, but is allowed plenty of I'M
earned pocket money while youth is more
likely to become criminal in his manhood
than is the son Of the mechanic or the day
laborer who is brought up in habits of
economy and taught that he must depend
upon his honest labor for support while yet
he is but boy
The common school system OF this coun-
try does more to reduce the number
of those who incline to criminal prac
tees than does any other single factor.
While it is true that many children develop
vicious tendencies as scholars it will be
found almost universally that their mere
home training is defective or altogether
lacking. A career of vice is almost sure to
follow the practice of roaming the streets at
will after school hours and during the even
ing, at first resulting in truancy, then in in.
corrigibility and that unrestraint in crimi-
nal practices that ultimately lead the de.
PRAYED youth or man in the work house or
the pcnitentiary. Laws which will pro.
hibit the presence of children and youth
upon the streets after a reasonable hour In
the evening would do much to repress this
increasing evil and with the appointment
OF an officer to look after truants the ten.
dency towards decentralization in this direc.
ton would be measurably checked. Edu-
cation has refreshing influence upon vice
that is lasting in its effects.
