of the new tariff system. Tomorrow
Messrs. McAiillin, Bryan and Montgom-
cry, members Of tho subcommittee OH In.
tcrnal revenue, will meet and begin the
foundation Of the internal revenue and
income tax provisions. The income tax
scheme will involve considerable labor. II
still appears that tho increase in the
whiskcy tax, II any be made, will not OK
ceed 10 cents per gallon, and the changes
In the tobacco schedule will be very slight.
The whole income tax question is opened
may be of such sweeping character as
10 include all individuals of incomes Of
1000 per annum and over.
Republicans are already preparing for q
vigorous fight on the new tariff bill. Cir.
cular letters are now being sent out by
the thousands, signed by Justice Bateman
d Co, Philadelphia wool commission mer.
chants, asking that certain data be sent
to j. {. Burrows, n republican member OF
the ways and means committee, in regard
to the wool question. Democrats are fig.
uring that the deficit caused by the new
tariff bill will not exceed SIS 900 900. VIM.
X. Morrison, chairman of the interstate
commerce commission, said he did not
like to talk OH the Wilson tariff bill. II
had not been shown yet where the money
was coming from. and that would be inn
portant in considering the measure. II
ought to he satisfied with tho woolen
schedule" added Morrison, ''as 1t
was my bill which first placed
wool on the free list and have been an
advocate of ID ever since.n
BosroS, Nov. as.-Republicans as q
rule are disposed to criticise tho tariff bill,
while democrats look upon tho work of
tho ways and means committee with
favor. Ex-Governor Ames attacks il in
unmeasurcd terms. He says: "lf II IL
not hacked 10 pieces in the house and SO
changed that its oricinators cannot recog-
nizc il, then the senate will stand up like
a stone wall against its further progress.
Democratic protcctionists will fight
against it's passage as we'll as the repub-
licans."
President Whitney OF the Doenich Coal
company said: at is going to DO . helr
TO US aud 10 New England. On general
principles II will exert favorable effect"
Iron men generally do not think the
proposed changes will affect them in the
least. Coal dealers are of tho opinion that
the removal of the duty on coal will be
very beneficial. Sugar men are not 50
cheerful. They say if the bill is passed as
reported ii will ruin some of them.
ORANGE, \. j., Nov. Manufacturing
hatters say the new tariff would force
them out of business. Six weeks ago a
committee of manufacturers were before
the Wilson committee. This afternoon
they started for Washington again and
will fight the passage OF the act in every
way. They will probably remain in WASH
ington until the bill has been disposed of.
INDIANAPOLIS. Nov. 2s.-Ex-President
Harrison was asked tonight for q state
Inent OF his opinion of the new Wilson
tariff bill, but declined positively, having
as yet only cursorily examined 1t. Asked
il II was as strong In its reductions as no
had anticipated, he acknowledged IL
might have been stronger, implying that
the reductions were not SO great as he had
anticipated.
LONDON, Nov. 2s.-1he Daily Ners says
that by early conflding in the public Pres
ident Cleveland replies to the rcbufIs
which his party received in tho autumn
elections. The new tariff bill fulflls TO some
extent the democratic idea Of tariff for
revenue ine reouciohs P'oposeo III tno
Dill are certain soon to DE recouped by the
consequent increase In trade.
