The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1889-11-06

In the last congress, the house of representa-
tives being democratic, passed what is known
as the Mills bill, and while il is by no means
a perfect bill. il step in the right direction.
IL embodied in general the democratic idea of
revenue reform by largely increasing the free
list and reducing the tariff on necessaries, par.
ticulary on wooden fabrics and clothing. Ii
also repealed that part of the tobacco-tax
which more particularly affects the producer
but left il upon cigars and cigarettes. | will
examine this measure more in detail before
close.
The republican senate struck out the house
bill from the enacting clause. and
adopted substitute embracing the
principles OF the Chicago platform, except as
to sugar, and in respect 10 this article the doc
trine OF protection so earnestly insisted upon
in that platform was totally abandoned. AS
no agreement could be arrived at between The
senate and house. congress adjourned without
efiecting any change in the revenue laws, thus
leaving the act OF 1888 still in force, under
which, as have shown you, the people are
being taxed largely in excess of the wants of
the government. But there other grave
objections to the tariff taxes imposed by it.
They are so adjusted that in many cases the
heaviest burthens are made 20 fall upon arti-
cles that necessarily enter into common use, so
that poor men and those in moderate circum-
stances are made to pay undue proportion
of the taxes imposed, and in this respect il
violates the fundamental rule that men should
pay taxes in proportion TO their means and
ability and the degree of protection they re-
ceive. This result is obtained under the plan
of specific duties adopted by the republican
party, but could not be practiced under the
ad valorem system. The better to conceal
the unjust determinations practiced under
this system, specific are often united with ad
valorem duties, so that the same article pays a
specific and an ad valorem duty.
For instance, in the cotton schedule all cot
ton cloths are classified by the number Of
threads to the square inch, and tax of so
much per square yard imposed on each CLASH

The charge Of sectionaism against the Mills
bill on account of its adjustment of the sugar
tariff, comes with i'll grace from party that
has framed every tariff law that has been
passed since 1862. Under the democratic tariff
of 1916. revised in 1857, the duty on foreign
sugars was "a per cent ad valOrem. The re-
publican party changed this into a specific
duty Of so much per pound and increased the
duty. The range of duties under the present
tariff is from little less than ~ cent per
pound up 10 81 cents, making an average rate
50 duty of about 20 per cent. ad valorem. The
Mills bill proposed 10 reduce this about 20 per
cent, and because it did not propose a greater
reduction, Ii is charged with discrimination in
favor OF the sugargrowers of the South. If
such had been the purpose of the bill, then IL
would have been in accord with that part of
the Chicago platform which declares In favor
OF such revision of the taril laws as will
tend to check imports of such articles as are
produced by our people, the production Of
which gives employment 10 our labor" Or
rather. the Mills bill, 10 have been in strict
conformity to the Chicago platform, ought to
have increased the duty on sugar 10 a point
that would "tend 10 check imports" but il was
an honest bill and had no other purpose than

round of the hard glove contest, Marquis of

though the forces of Aikens and Price

were two to one against the governor.
When the governor swung out his left and
struck the legislative slugger under the
left eye with his veto the crowd began to

How Edison Repaid an Old Loan.

One day in 1866 Thomas A. Edison
OF electric fame, met James A. Clancy,
at present living on Third avenue, and
for many years route agent on the
Grand Trunk road and said to him:
Look here Jim, 1 want to shake this
town and get to New Orleans. How
mich can you lend me?"
well, I've just got married" replied
Clancy, "and my pile consists Of ex-
actly sl3."
"Lend me $40 of that and I'll borrow
of some Of the other boys"
He was handed $40, and he got as
| much more from other friends, and he
went to New Orleans. He had a pass
to Chicago, and from there he went
second class, and took along his own
bread and cheese. During the last ten
years Edison and Clancy have often
met, but nothing was said Of the loan
A few days ago Clancy applied by let
ter for the repayment Of the sum, and
yesterday he received check on the
First National Bank of Paterson, N. j.,
for $37.85, which was principal and
interest together.
A man, rich or poor, who will pay
debt Of twenty-five years. standing and
add the interest, is pretty good man,
but man worth $2,0O0,O0O, and who
owed his start to considerable extent
to that loan of $40, had an opportunity

ANOTHER REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR
Testifies to the Value of Prohibition-Ex-

shire Executiye

Testifics to the Value of PrOhibition-Ex-
tract from the Address of the New Hamp-
shire Executive.
In his inaugural address to the New
Hampshire Legislature, Gov. Goodell
discussed at length the regulation of
the saloon. Among other things he said:
With very rare exception our people be-
lieve that the sale and use Of Intoxicating
liquors as IL beverage are great evil.
have tried to look at it from every point Of
view, and am forced to the conclusion
that it is the duty of the State to prohibit
the sale of all poisons to be usad for illegiti-
mate purposes. 1t is also said that the at
tempt to enforce the prohibitory law is a
farce; that there is more drunkenness then
before the effort was made, and if a saloon
is closed in one place several spring up
somewhere to take its place.
This is mere assertion and the facts do
not warrant it. 1t is sometimes charged
that certain officers who are efficient in the
enforcement Of all other laws, either neglect
or refuse to enforce the prohibitory law. II
this is so, believe some law should be en-
acted authorizing and requiring the Su-
preme Court promptly to remove such
offenders. and appoint others in their
places who will regard their official oaths.
When the State decided that it was best
to prohibit the sale, it did an anomalous
thing to neglect to forbid the manufacture
of Intoxicating liquors to be used as bev
erage. Gentlemen, would it not be more
consistent to treat the manufacture ofiin
toxicants just the same as you do the sale?

The Crash Imminent.

How the liquor traffic in Michigan is
being pulverized!" How the great
brewers and wholesale dealers are being
made to shake in their boots lest their
property be rendered valueless by high
tax and regulation! How the saloon
keepers and other retailers are down in
the mouth" over the prospect of the
speedy closing out of their business!
Dreadful to think of! Horrible to wit
ness! Such agony of apprehension as
the liquor gentry are suffering is enough
to awaken remorse even in a Prohibition
list, and cause every partisan to lament
the day he elected men to Office who are
so determined to crush the traffic or break
the legislative slate! Didn't hear any
thing about it," did you say? Why, bless
you, we didn't either, but supposed it
must be SO from what was said last year
about election time.
But here is fact or two which indi-.
Gates the status of the brewing business
in Detroit and Michigan. Great trusts
invested in the trade. Only last week
the largest brewing plant in the city was
disposed of for round million dollars,
the proprietor himself taking stock in the
new syndicate and guaranteeing to the
new firm an annual dividend of thirteen
per cent. on its investment. Does not
that look as if the fellows were scared?
The new company will employ the said
old proprietor as business manager on
fat salary, and in addition pay him per-
sonal royalty of ten cents on every barrel
ofbeer sold, and will increase the facilities
of the brewery SO as to turn out IA 600 bar
rels peryear. Aren't they scared, though?
The property purchased includes whole
city block with brewery buildings, sa-
loon, ice houses, and residences, and the
new firm will straightway proceed to erect
mammoth malt house on vacant por-
ton of the site. Some twenty-five sa-
looms established by the old proprietor in
different parts of the city are likewise to
be controlled by the new company, and
will be allowed to sell none but the syn
dictate product. lou see, it is death
grip with them. The new company pro-
poses to get rich in day, SO as to be in
dependent before the pulverizing crash,
now SO imminent, comes upon them,
grinding them to powder! Legislators,
hold! Governor, mayor. sheriff, prose-
cutting attorney, aldermen, policemen,
stay your hands! Let these frightened
brewers live! Allow them week or two
at least in which to turn an honest penny
and save themselves from utter financial
ruin! In pity spare these millionaires
who have so innocently placed their
funds in the disastrous sink hole of tax
