Mr.. Randall's Tariff Bill.

MIR. Randall's tax reduction bill has been
made public. AS was expected it is entirely
in the interest Of the manufacturing monop-
olies of the country and is intended to an
tagonize the bill presented in Congress by
the Ways and Means Committee. 1t pro-
poses to reduce the unnecessary revenues of
the government by taking all taxes off of
tobacco and by reducing the present tax of
DO cents per gallon on distilled spirits to so
cents-a reduction which the better senti-
ment of the country will not regard with
favor. Mr. Randall's bill aboshes all taxes
upon spirits distilled from apples, peaches
and other
In many instances the tariff duties are
increased. For instance, the present duty
on tin plate is one cent per pound Mr. Ran
dali proposes to increase it to two and one
tenth cents per pound. So it goes through
the list. Wherever any Pennsylvania indus
try is to be benefited at the expense of the
rest ofthe country, the "robber tariff " is left
as high as ever, if not increased. The total
reduction 1t contemplates is about $82, 100000
year, of which $15,000,00O will come from
the tariff; $32 100000 from the repeal of the
tobacco tax, and about $15OOO,00O from the
partial abolition of the tax on spirits and
beer. This is the kind of tax reduction the
people of the United States most decided
ly don't want.

A Ducking Law for Bush River.

The bill introduced in the Legislature by
Mr.. Walter W. Preston 10 allow citizens Of
Hartford county the privilege of shooting
ducks from sink-boxes in Bush river has
stirred up a hornets nest. Mr.. John Z.
Semmes, of the Baltimore bar, who appears
to represent the ducking clubs, denounces
the bill as "a great outrage" and has set 10
work to defeat it.. He says farmers have no
time to go duck-shooting and could not af-
ford the expense if they had; besides, he ar
CUES, if any more persons are allowed 10
shoot ducks except the privileged few who
now enjoy the sport, the ducks will be ex-
terminated.
In this matter, as in almost every other,
there are conflicting interests, and the rights
of each should be carefully considered by the
Legislature. The shores of Bush river are
rented to ducking clubs at good round sums,
and the owners of these shores, as matter of
course, object to anything tending, even re-
motley, to diminish the rental value of their
property. The ducking clubs-composed,
mostly, of wealthy residents OF other States
regard it as an intrusion upon their preserves
for any citizen of Hartford county even to
row boat upon Bush river during the duck
ing season; and the unlucky person who
ventures upon the river in an open boat, at
this time, is warned by the wbistling of rifle
balls around his head to turn back. The in
fuence of these clubs has been all.powerful
heretofore, in the Legislature, and their com.
bined exertions may defeat Mr.. Preston's BILL
All of the ducking laws, as far as they relate
to Bush river, at least, have been passed in
the interest of these clubs, and with view,
apparently, of making the entire river, for
ducking purposes, private property.
On the other hand number of citizens Of
Hartford county claim that the waters Of
Bush river belong to the public and that they
have an inalienable right to enjoy any sport
which said waters afford, in common with
other citizens of the State, when they can do
SO without trespassing upon private property
or interfering with the rights secured to
Others by law. 1t was in compliance, there
fore, of an earnest demand from many of his
constituents that Mr.. Preston introduced his
bill. 1t provides that citizens of Hartford
county may shoot from sink-boats in Bush
river two days in each week, during the
ducking season, under certain restrictions
and merely grants the public privileges in
Bush river similar to those enjoyed
by persons who shoot on the flats
below Havre de Grace. 1t has been
framed, we understand, with due re-
gard for the rights and privileges of shore
owners, and it is said by experienced duckers
that it will not interfere with shooting from
the shores, except in so far as any increase
in the number of duckers on the river inter-
feres Herewith.
