CHEAP LUYURLES NOT DE-
handed.

TIE GAZETTE can find nothing to sp-
prove in the reduction Of tax on tobacco
and snuff, as the new tsrin bill provides.
1t is concession to the protection spirit
that should not be allowed. Tobacco and
SNUFF are neutrality-suspicious. Injuries,
the use Of which should be discouraged.
To reduce the tax on these articles is to
cheaper them and increase their con-
sumption. But that is not the worst part
Of it. In SO much as the reduction Of tax
on these articles diminishes the revenue,
in so much will the tariT tax be retained
on the necessaries of life, and their cost
made greater to the people who needthem.
People cannot get along without many
things that are necessities Of existence,
but nobody needs tobacco and snuff; yet
this tariff bill, as framed by the Demo-
cratic mmittee on ways and means,
takes the tax Of the useless articles and
hardly touches that on many of the es-
sentisls of life.
This concession may have been wrung
from the ways and means committee as a
compromise in order that legislation of
any kind Affecting the tariff might be sue.
cessful. But 1t is a poor compromise.
Il will not satisfy some of the southern
states where the protection interest is
strong and 1t will not satisfy the north
western states where the free trade feel
ing is spreading. To the tobacco grow
ers of Virgins and Kentucky it is not OBJ
Iectionable; but it will do no goodamong
the sugar and rice planters. The recent
election in Minnesota, where the
Republican msjoritY in one Of the
congressional districts was cut down
from 1000 in 1856 to 39S
in 1888, shows the progress OF free trade
feeling in the northwest. Mlnnesota,
Michigan and Wisconsin could be made
Democratic by preceptible reduction of
the tariff, but not by easing the tax on
tobacco and snuff.
II the bill as outlined in THE GAzBTTR's
dispatches is the best the ways and means
committee can do, it will be accepted by
tariff reformers throughout the country
on the principle that half loaf is better
than no bread.

pass this bill, we are afraid we will lose
the next general election" Oh, what a
lame conclusion and what a confession!
Anyone would suppose that the Reform
legislators owed their seat to happy
faculty OF bull-dozing and pulling the
wool over the eyes of the voters who
cannot read, write or think, SO sure are
they that their seats will be lost as soon
as they lose every means OF influence
except persuasion and argument. II
there is nobody backing the Legislature
except the ignorant and degraded, the
Legislature would do we'll to step out.
What is the mysterious influence which
is perfectly honest and legitimate which
the secret voting is going to destroy. We
have never seen it materialize yet. Let
us have little healthy optimism. Mr..
Hitchcock struck the right note. Here
is plan which insures an honest and a
clean election. Let us drop the old cor
rupt methods and adopt this, and trust
to the uprightness and intelligence of
the country to carry us through. We
are thankful to say that this view trium-
phantly prevailed, section ~ of the bill
passing by vote of 25 to 10.

The Anti-screen Clause.

Mr.. EDITOR: Your editorial yester-
day upon the anti-screen bill rather put
me in the light of having voted against
that bill because was afraid We would
be " showed under" in 1890 if we did.
As matter of fact believe in the anti
screen bill and am willing to advocate It
before the electors at any time; but nv
position was that as we had secured for
the revolutionary party the votes of the
liquor men and all classes who wonId
naturally oppose this measure, by tacitIv
or expressly agreeing that...we would not
touch this social question, it would
not be right for us after we had got ia to
make radical change in the LIQUOR laws
simply because we were in, and that
any such snap judgment would not in
the long run help the temperance people
No radical change either for the iiouor or
the temperance men would be Just this
session. Such changes will have to be
settled directly at the ballot box.

Committee reported on, the bill PIE
sented by the Commission to re-organize

The Committee praised the bill of the
Commission highly, but said it was a

receive good deal more attention and
time than the Legislature now has at its
disposal. They ended by recommending
