WHAT THEY PROPOSE.

The House committee on ways and means
is giving hearing to everyb ody who goes
before it, but it is generally understood,
just as it was understood during the Presi-
Dental and Congressional campaign of
1883, that the bill in regard to the tariff
which the Republicans will introduce and
try to pass will provide for the removal of
the internal revenue tax from manufact-
ured tobacco, the reduction of the tax on
whisky and the taking off of the duty from
sugar, the tariff on necessaries to be con-
tlnued as at present, or increased. A bill
such as here outlined is the Republican
idea OF proper legislation for the benefit of
the republic. Whisky and tobacco are
both luxuries, pure and simple There are
none OF the elements of necessaries about
them. They are not essential to
the life or the well being of the
people, and men and women are
better off without them. If any,
thing which we produce or use
is luxury these articles are, and there
fore should be taxed. The tax would not
be burdensome on anybody, for the reason
that nobody would be required to pay it.
AS to sugar, the removal of the duty from
1t would be of a strictly partisan character.
and justification for the act could not be
found. The consumers of the article would
derive no benefit from the removal, as we
do not produce 1.-THE of the sugar used
The Democratic south, however, makes
sugar and that is sufficient excuse for the
Republican north to make war upon the
industry.
One can almost hope that the Republi-
cans will carry out their scheme and pre-
sent such bill as has been proposed. That
act might prove valuable lesson to the
masses who pay exorbitant taxes on what
they must eat and wear, in order thata few
protected and monopolistic manufacturers
may grow enormously rich When the
people learn the lesson which is spread be-
fore them every day in the form of high
priced articles of necessity, they will not
only abolish protective" taxation in every
form, but will drive into retirement the
political party which favors such taxation.

Witnessed after all the animals In Fills

by somc person who IL supposed to have

germ from which grew the lurid story

on bounding from their cages, attacked
tho jumping horse, and the animals

Hastily arming themselves with stable
forks they rushed to the scene Of tho
disturbance, evidently ignorant OF tho
numerical strength Of the foe they had
to contend with. These four gallant
fellows met q fearful death. From tho
last few dying words of ono OF the Cairo

the lion Pacha, wero attacked in the
rear by three other lions and one OF tho

limb from limb by tho fcrocious brutcs,

sometimes TO witness the squirmirg

unvarnished statement, necessary in a

imasines himself aggrieved and
rushes Mt tho man Of pen, shears and

thunder between his teeth, notwith
standing the fact that the editor has
no bias either way, and merely acted
in his capacity as a vender Of news.
