TAX REFORM.
How 1t Has Been Thwarted by Re.
publican Congressman.

WASHINGTON, May LIN the house
to-day McCreary, of Kentucky, spoke
on the tariff bill. President Cleveland,
he said. had made himself conspicuous
before the whole country by the wisdom
and courage exhibited in his annual
message when he recommended tax re-
form and a reduction of the surplus.
Congress should long ago have reduced
taxation; but the journals of the house
would show that the repeated efforts of
the, Democratic party in that direction
had been thWarted by gentlemen on the
other side. He then turned his atten-
tion to that portion of Mr.. Kelly'S tariff
speech in which he draws an unfavor-
able condition of affairs in Kentucky,
and he declared that the statements
made by the gentleman were marvellous
and gross misrepresentation There
were but 125,000 illiterate white persons
in Kentucky, while in Pennsylvania
there were 12S,000 persons over ten
years of age who could not read and
write. He contradicted the statements
of the gentleman from Pennsylvania
(kelly) in relation to pauperiSm, and he
asserted that there was not a state in
were better clad or better fed or
better housed than in Kentucky,
and he called attention to the
fact that the so-called pauper
counties of Kentucky were Republican
counties. The statesman had spoken
of Kentucky as being under the control
of the whisky trust. IThe gentleman
evidently forgot that last year New
York, Illinois and Ohio each paid more
internal revenue taxes than Kentucky.
Where Kentucky has one saloon to
every 545 persons, the model state of
Pennsylvania furnished one saloon to
every 205 persons. He then proceeded
to quote from census statistics to dis
prove Mr.. Kelly's assertion that Ken
tucky was an unprogreSSive and un-
prosperous state.
Mr.. Foran, of Ohio, opposed the bill.
He discussed at some length and
earnestly opposed the proposition to
place wool on the free list. Touching
upon the question of wages, he declared
that if this bill passed the American
workman would be compelled to COM
pete with the English workman and re-
ceive the same rate of pay for his work
He protested now and would protest
under any and all circumstances
against the false assumption and
suicidal declaration, that the so-called
Mills bill involved Democratic principles
and Democratic duty. If it was the in
tention of the bill to reduce the sur
plus it would prove an abortive failure.
AS it stood, he not only denounced it,
he repudlated and denounced it.

Strait left this evening for st. Paul.
During the past two weeks he has been
busy scheming, and from his fertile
brain originated the scheme for reopen
ing the fight over the direct tax bill AS
a result of his shrewd planning, Senator
Spooner to-day introduced the direct
tax bill as an amendment to the sundry
civil service appropriation bill, and he
will fight for its consideration in that
connection. The result will be that if
the filibusterers oppose the bill now, it
will neceSsitate the failure of the sundry

dare carry their opposition that far.
