expected Tariff bill has at last been intro
duced in the House. 1t is voluminous-twice
as long as the Tariff and Internal Revenue
bills submitted by the Ways and Means Com
mttee The bill proposes to repeal existing
axes upon tobacco in all its forms, even &c
the license tax upon wholesale and retail
dealers. 1t repeats the tax on fruit brandies,

makes alcohol for use III the arts free. The
existing tax on sugar and wool is not dis
turbed. and that on iron aud steel is slightly
reduced. Tea and coffee are placed on the
free list. A large number OF articles here
tofore free are made dutiable. Mr.. Ran

the total revenue about $50, 900. 900, of which
SO, 900, 900 would be taken from internal
taxes and S25, 900, 900 from tariff duties.

This must be a very wealthy
country, as an exchange says, as it
can afford to pay people at a dis
lance to raise nearly everything
that is consumed here. Among
other things in our market we find
cabbages from New York, and tur-
nips from Boston, butter from New
York, meat from Ohio, mules from
Kentucky and hay to feed them
with from the same section, dried
apples from Indiana and tomatoes
from Maryland. In addition to
these necessary table supplies, come
farming implements of every kind
from every section of the north and
north west, all to be paid for by the
product of the farm. Who says
that farming does not pay in Gcor-
gia when we can afford to buy
everything from abroad and pay for
the same out of cotton alone?

Some weeks ago the republican
senators were asserting that there
was no surplus to be reduced. By
reporting their tariff bill, they admit
that they were wrong, and that the
general government can get along
with $72,000,OO0 less than has been
collected in taxes each year for some
time. The republicans have shifted
their position quite frequently in
this campaign. Evidently they
don't know which way to turn. In
the meantime, the democrats are for
a wise reform of the tariff, Just as
they have been all the time.

In 1884 Blaine's majority in the
State of Winconsin was 24OO, and
his plurality 1860. Both the La
Dor and Prohibition parties in that
State seem to have gained strength
since the last Presidential election.
This strength comes mainly from
the Republican party, as the De-
mocracy not only maintains a solid
front, but its great principles of tar
1T reform have won many converts.
A correspondent of the New York
Times predicts that Cleveland will
carry the State by a larger majority
