What the Revenue Bill Will Accom-
pliSh.

1t is said that the legislation pro.
posed in the Fifty-first Congress is
even more restrictive than any pre-
vious legislation. and that. if carried
out. it will amount to little less than
"Chinese wall" around our coast
line. The bill pending in the House,
on the basis of last years importa.
tions, places upon the free list i'm
ports to the value CT 500, 232 ,0S0,
upon which the Government last
year collected in duties $50, 1886 $50,
which, added to the free imports of
the last fiscal year, reduces the value
of the dutiable imports to 1915, GA
687. The pending legislation. there
fore, will make free. without restraint
or burden, $685.. sO6,71O in value of
foreign products, and will diminish
the dutiable importations from $751;
431 1903 to 1915, 6236S7; which will
make an average duty upon all i'm
portations of about 81 per cent, and a
reduction of tariffs to the amount of
about 10 per cent, instead of large
Increase. as seems to be the popular
impression. 1t will be seen. accord
ingly, that about so per cent-on the
basis of the importations of last year
will be free and so per cent duti-
able; while the proportion of free
imports under the Mills Bill (had it
become law would have been

Judging frOn the results of the
census in 1870 and 1880, it may safely
be predicted that the enumeration
now under way will he full of sur
priSes and disappointment.
Eastern cities will be found to have
grown more than was expected, but
Eastern States less. The Middle Stat
es and Ohio will begin to show the
shrinkage which the New England
States exhibited in 1880, as New Jer-
sey. New York, Pennsy lvania, Mary
land and Ohio have had a heavy
Western emigration in the last ten
years.
Western cities will be disappointed,
with here and there an exception.
This is the result of almost every
census in Western States. particularly
those West of the Mississippi, will
surpass expectation.
The South is an enigma. 1t is ex-
DectiRg great increase. 1t is doubt
full if the seabord shows such an one.
The region between the Appalachians
and the Mississippi and Texas is GER
tain to do so. This is also true of
Texas.
TIE four leading cities of the coun.
try will be New York, Philadelphia.
Chicago, and BROOKLYN. In 1880
Brooklyn was bigger than Chicago.
1t will be bitter disappointment to
Chicago if it is now. Boston was the
fifth city in 1880, and st. Louis the
sixth. st. Louis expects to lead
now, but the chances favor Boston.
The grand aggregate will reach ST.
100000 if the birth-rate has been as
nigh since 1880 as from 1870 to 1880.
If the population has only made the
average of advance for thirty years
past the total will be $4,000, 000.-

A most remarkable phenomenon n
reported from the outlying country
districts about Lockp0rt. n. Y, re.
garding the eIectirai display during
the recent severe rain storm. A far.
mer named Jasper Bacon, and his
family, residing fifteen mites north
west Of LuckpOrt, We're slngularIy
affected. The house Sc med to be
envelOped in a bIuI@h, hazy light.
The air was pregnant with the cleo
trio fluid, and balls of fire danced
along the tops of chairs and slid oyer
mantels or chased each other up and
down hanging lamp shade. 1t was
a terrible sight to the members of the
household. There were no lights in
the house, and the terror of the in
mates was greatly increased by the
total paralysis of their muscles. They
were unable to move and sat like
mummies. fearing that their end was
near. The storm lasted four hours,
and as it departed the electricity van
ished and the use of their limbs and
arms returned.

Suggestions on the Race Question.

Every Southern man knows that
there is no possibility of domination
in the United States. No federal
taxes will ever be imposed by the ne
gro. No federal control is within his
power. If all this wrong at the ballot
box be needed to preserve a proper
local State government, to keep the
Caucasian supreme in the State. not
a living soul can dare to say that the
same wrong, or any other, is Necessary
for Caucasian supremacy in the IN
tied States. In fact, transferred to
the broader arena, the struggle is be-
tween the proud Caucasian and the
Caucasian who is not so proud. Ifit
be a race question. is there any reason
why the white man in the South
Is he alone of morals to eat his cake
and have it. too? Is he to suppress
his negro and have him also? Among
all his remedies, he has never yet
proposed to surrender the represent
tation which he owes to the very
negro whose vote he refuses. The
negro is human enough to be repre-
sented. but not human enough to
have his vote counted. Suppose it
were fact that the negro domination
and barbarism would follow from
honest voting in the Southern State
elections; suppose it were fact that
disregard of law and complete viola
ton of the rights secured to the negro
by the constitution were absolutely
necessary to preserve the civilization
of the South !; what has that to do
with the federal elections Violation
OF law and disregard of statute are
not needed to save the United States.
Evidently, then, the question of race
supremacy and of good government
in the South has nothing whatever
to do with that other question which
concerns our whole people whether
the Republican party of the United
States shall receive and haye counted
the votes which belong to it by yir-
tue of the constitution of the country.
Ifyou tell US that these are ignorant
votes and ought not to be counted
we answer-and the answer is con-
clusive-that ignorance is every.
where. and that the Democratic par
ty never failed to vote its ignorance
to the uttermost verge of the law.
Why should they, of all partisians,
claim that only scholars should vote {?
Speaker Reed IN North American
ReUie,O.
