What The Farmer Would Got.

When Mr.. Springer said that the loss of
revenue involved i'm his proposition to make
wool free and to reduce the duties on wool
manufactures, would probably be made good
by larger importation at the lower rates, he
set forth clearly the purpose of his party to
ruin American wool growing as well as wool
manufacturing Placing raw wool on the
free list and scaling down duties ON wOolens
and wOrsteds, as proposed in his bill now be-
fore Congress, would reduce the revenues of
the government about $30,000,00 To
make up this deficiency would require an
additional Importation of wool manufactures
to the value of $S5, 900. 900. They would
contain from 200, 1000. 900 to $50, 900, 900
pounds of raw wool, which would narrow
the American farmers market by that
amount.
If importations Of raw wool were maintain
ed at last years figure-and under free wool
they probably would increase-119, 900, 900
pounds would probably come in unmanufac-
tured. Add the wool contained in our normal
importation of manufactures, S53, 900, 600
worth last year, and we have 129, 600, 600
pounds more, or nearly 500, 900 600 pounds
all told, which would come i'm from abroad
to supply the American demand for wool.
Since we consume at liberal estimate only
600, 900, 900 pounds of wool annually, there
would be left demand for not much more
than 100, 900, 900 pounds of American wool.
Since this country produces over 300, ,000,-
900 pounds, 1t Is plain that almost two-thirdS
of our entire product would have to go beg.

THE PITTSBUR9. PLAN.

Whatev er may be the successful solu-
ton of the social evil problem, the Pitts
burg plan is not to be recommended,
even as o temporary expedient. Law is
law, and it is the duty of public officers
to enforce it without regard to their own
private opinions of its merits or it's
justice. but it is at no time necessary to
enforce it with undue harshness. In
P~ittsburg. as in Indianapolis and most
other cities, it has not been customary
to close disreputable houses, as the law
requires, but to keep watch of them and
to regulate" them by irregular raids
and a system of fines, which is a species
of black-mail and the price the inmates
pay for not being compelled to move
on.n In Pittsburg the moral and right
sous element of the city took notice of
this evil. and, headed by the ministers,
demanded that it be suppressed by the
closing of all resorts in which It
flourishsd. The Mayor, driven by tho
force of virtuous opinion. issued a lettes
to the chief of police which is a curious
document. being at once an order to
obey the law. an apology for hIs course.

INDIANA BREWERS.
Executive Committee Discusses the Labor
~ Question and Los; Kegs.

The executive committee of the Indiana
State Brewers Association met in Room 80
at the Bates yesterday afternoon. Those
present were President +. NJ. Cook, of
Evansvil,e; Albert Lieber. Indianapolis;
Crawford Fairbanks, Terre Haute; L. Wag-
ner, Lafayette. and Alvin Carl, Cincinnati.
The meeting was held behind closed doors.
Mr.. Carl, who is at the head of the Aurora
company, was seen by o Journal reporter
last night, and was asked what the pur-
pose of the meeting was.
He said: Simply to discuss beer inter-
ests in the State. and nothing was done
that would be of the least interest to the
public. For instance. we tried To arrive at
q plan to prevent the great loss we have

He was asked if prices or ANYTHING that
would affect the trade was talked of or de-
cided on. His answer was q most emphatic

cation of charity schools. established in all

discussed, as well as art and art life, and
the artistic side of Paris, and the industrial
education of girls by private means in the
great schools. One thing that seemed para
doxical were the vacation schools. These
are sustained by the municipality of Paris.

THR INCOME TAX RECALLED.

Mr.. T~aubeneck, in the last assortment
of transformation which he was able to
infict upon the public, declared that the
income tax levied during the war yield
ed, as Iremember now. about $500, 600. 900
during the last year" AS q matter of
fact, the amount of money derived from
the income tax the last year il was in
force was S14, 436. SCI. rs, and the largest
amount collected in any one year was
IN 1S66-S72. 9S2. 1896 {. The law was in
force from 1868 to 1872. ten years, during
which period S346, Oh, 7604 As was col
lected under the head of income tax. As
Mr.. T~aubeneck credited $500, coo. 600 to
one year, while there was less than 80
per cent. more collected in ten years, he
was remarkably near the truth-for him.
The income tax was imposed during the
war. every Democrat voting against it.
The act. which contained a provision
limiting it's life to 1870. was amended
and extended to the close of 1872, and
this extension was opposed by nearly all
the Democrats in both houses of
Congress. The largest number of
persons assessed under the in
come-tax law was AGO. 40. in 1866.
Under the amendments of 1860 the mum
Der of persons assessed was "a, 7T5, in
1871. When the bill extending the in
come tax was last before Congress Mr..
Holman offered an amendment to limit
il to the holders of United States bonds,
and many Democrats voted with him
for his proposition. If it had carried
the governments credit would have
been ruined. and ipstead of refunding
its bonds at 4 per cent. it would have
been exceedingly difficult to have dis
posed of them at any figure when they
matured. While the Democrats have
from time to time advocated in an in
fiammatory n in the West the re-
vival of an income tax, no real attempt
has been made to do so. The only in
come tax the country yer had was a
Republican and a war measure. That
there are many people, particularly in
the West, who are inclined to favor an
income tax there can be no doubt. AS
between a tax on sugar and a tax on in
comes, if either becomes necessary, the
people would be for the tax imposed
upon larger incomes rather than one i'm
posed upon every home in the land.

with a doubt of its efficacy, an essay on
vice, and an assurance that not the off,
GERS, but the public which demands the
proceeding. is responsible for conse-
quences. Probably by way of making
the order productive of the worst re-
suits the chief directed all resorts closed
within twenty-four hours. with the eff
feet, as related in the Journals dis
patches, of bringing 100 or more homeless.
poverty-stricken, wretched women be-
fore the Mayor asking what was to be-
tome of them.
In the heat of their denunciations of
this vice, some of these ministers had
made vague promises of assistance to
all Magdalens who would apply to them
for aid and refuge, but when the
emergency arose these ministers DIS
claimed all responsibility. "Isuppose,"
said one on being asked what should be
done with the women, II suppose they
must take their chances" Another de-
clared that they were criminals, and de-
served no more commiseration than
persons sent to the penitentiary for
any cause. Several expressed pity
and a willingness to extend q helping
hand to any penitents among the outcasts
who should apply for aid, but when two
of them called at the house of one of
these for shelter after hastily abandoning
their own, he appeared at an upper win
dow and said: 81 have no room for
women of your kind; go away and don't
bother mo-" When asked afterwards by
a reporter if his church had a home for
Magdalens, he answered: mo! Why
should we be asked to take care of them2
They do not belong to u.s."
Fortunately several charitable church
institutions were open to them, but
these refugees could not serve to make
the course of officials or of the con-
fessedly good people commendable; for
cruelty, even to sinners, is never q praise
worthy thing.
To turn hundreds of women, however
disreputable, out of their homes without
warning, or after they had experienced
and had been led to expect a degree of
legal protection, and to take no
measures to give them respectable
homes cannot tend to the elimina-
ton of vice from the community.
1t need not be supposed by the most
sanguine that Pittsburg will be trans
formed at once into a holy place be-
cause Of the driving out of these women
and the holding them mp to public shame
and e%xecration. Reform can never be
brought about by this process. AS the
Mayor says in his letter, "the attempt
has eve been made to treat this two
sided crime with One-sided laws.n The
ome who have been turned ont to
find new homes in Pittsburg, or to hide
themselves in other communities, were
not alone in their infamy. but the shar-
ers of it escape without shame or repro
baton. Until public sentiment visits
upon men who frequent vile resorts the
same scorn which it measures ont to the
women, and until the law deals with
such visitors with equal severity, last
ing reform cannot be accomplished.
And of all measures for modifying the
evil the Pittsburg plan is the least
promising. That city's last state is
likely to be worse than it's first. but the
worst cannot be known Immediately,
for the more the vice is hidden the more
dangerous it is and the more difficult its
eradication.
