A CASE OF MOMENT.
The Mckinley Bill Before the
Supreme Court.
BRIEFS OF THE PLAINTIFFS ON FILE

Michigan Case and Declaration of
the Late Justice Miller Cited Against
the Validity of the Whole Tariff Law
Educational Statistics from the Gen.
sus Bureau-Morgan's Defense of Su-
perintendent Porter A Permanent
Bureau Proposed-Notes Oficial.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10-Steinbach &
Co, of New York, and Marshall Field s.
CO., of Chicago, plaintiffs in two of the
cases involving the constitutionality of
the Mckinley tariff act, have filed briefs
in the supreme court of the United States,
basing them chiefly on the claim that the
omission by the enrolling clerk of the to-
bacco rebate section-stricken from the
original bill by the senate and restored in
conference-makes the act void. May
similar cases are quoted, citing the de-
cisions of state courts holding that the
omission of a clause in the draft of a Llll
of a bill passed by the Michigan legsla-
ture, but placed on the statute book with
out some notifications made in assem-
bly,.
Quoting a Judge Against Himself.
The Michigan supreme court in decid-
ing this case said: 1T is to be deeply re-
GREETED that so important a law as this,
covering a subject of great public inter
est should, because of the gross careless
ness, or worse, of some one, be wiped
bodily from the statute books. But the
courts are not responsible for this"
Judge Somerville, of Alabama, who, as a
member of the board of general apprais-
ers, wrote the opinion of the board sus-
tanning the validity of the Mckinley act
against the protests of the importers, is
quoted in a decision he made while jus
tice of the supreme court of Alabama in
which he rules differently, taking the
same ground as the Michigan court did.
One of Justice MiIler's Declarations.
Both briefs cite an opinion of the late
Justice Miller, of the federal supreme
court, in support of their claim that the
sugar bounty clause of the Mckinley act
is unconstitutional. Justice Miller de-
clared that "to lay with one hand the
power of the government upon the prop
erty of the citizen and with the other to
bestow it upon favored individuals to aid
private enterprises and build up private
fortunes is none the less robbery be-
cause it is done under the forms of law
and is called taxation. This is not legis-
lation. 1t is not decree under legislative
forms; nor is it taxation"
Another Claim Against the Bill.
The briefs claim that the power given
the president in the third section of the
Mckinley act to reimpose duties upon
tea, coffee, sugar and hides at his discre-
tion is so obviously unconstitutional as
to preclude argument.
