The Tariff Bills.


Chairman Mills summed mp the opinions Of
the revenue reformers when he said: I'VE
could not ask better bill to oppose. 1t is
simply Randall's old scheme to abolish all
internal taxes at the first blow. 1t abolishes
two-thirds of them at the second blow. You
may rest assured he would abolish the rest.
The tariff reductions are not reductions, but
on the contrary, increases. The tinplate in
crease is more conspicuous than the rest, but
it is representative. In other words, Ran
dall's bill reduces or abolishes the taxes on
the luxuries of life and keeps them on neces-
saries, including the raw materials necessary
for our manufacturers We are willing to
go before the House and the country on the
issue so made with our bill. The tariff pro-
visions of Randalps bill are skillfully
framework of which is incorporated into the
bill The work is so skillfully done as to re-
fleet certain amount of credit on the inge-
nuity of Joseph ID. Weeks, secretary of the
Republican National Committee in 1884, who
framed it,
Hon. Samuel j. Randall has expressed
himself freely on the significance of his new
tariff bill. He says that in spite of the judg-
ment of other experts to the effect that the
bill would reduce the revenue by $50, ,000, 600
S70,0O0O0O of which S25,0O0,0O0 will come
out of the schedules of import duties and
the rest from the internal revenue. He
claims that in its effect on the internal reve-
nue. system the measure only repeals what
are strictly war taxes, and does justice to the
American producers Of tobacco and fruit spir
its for the first time since the war. As to its
bearing on the tariff laws, he says that while
a reduction of the revenue from this source
was imperatively demanded, the schedules
have been so arranged as not to injure any
American workingman or any American
manufacturer.
