whisky tax. if any be made. will not ex-
ceed 10 cents per gallon, and that the
changes in the tobacco schedule will be
very slight. The whole income tax ques-
tlon has been opened up anew, and it is
now possible the tax may be of such a
sweeping character as to include all indi-
viduals having incomes of $500 per annum
and over.
The Republicans are already preparing
for vigorous fight on the new tariff bill,

Stevens of Massachusetts. all members of
the Ways and Means Committee. sacrificed
the interests of their constituents in order
