VIII Push The Tariff Bill.

In a recent interview Representa-
tive McMillin, a member of the Ways
and Means Committee, said that the
elections would not change the tariff
policy of the committee an iota that
the Democratic party was pledged to
tariff reform and would carry out its
pledges to the letter; that the party
had won on this issue and would win
on it again, if an election were to
occur to-day. In other quarters the
belief prevails that there is trouble
ahead for the House on the tariff
owing to the many interests that call
for protection.

THE NEW TARIFF BILL.
Trouble in the Future Predicted For the
Framers.

Trouble in the Future Predicted For the
Framers.
WASHINGTON, Nov. l3.-lt appears
that the chief embarrassment of the
ways ana means committee is to come,
not from the articles upon which tho
specific advalorem duties are to be re-
duoed, but from the articles that arc to
be put on the free list 1t had boon
generally accepted up to quite recently
that the Democratic party was united
on the proposition Of putting coal, wool,
iron ore, salt and lumber ON the FREQ
list, but the latest developments have
indicated that this is not so.
Mr.. Culberson and other Texas NOM
bers have already sounded their opposi-
ton to free wool, and they are likely TO
receive substantial encouragement from
Ohio members and representatives OF
the or azing states OF tho west. Several
of the Alabama representatives ara pro-
testing against the proposition to place
iron ore and coal on the free list. The
extensive lumber states, both of the
south and west, are almost unit in
opposing free lumber. The Michigan
members will probably oppose free
salt to man, as it Is stated that even
Mr.. Whiting of tho ways and means
committee will contend that the effect
of placing salt on the free list will be
only to give the English salt manu-
factureTs q monopoly Of the American
markets and close up the American
works.
Altogether. the lot OF Mr. Wilson and
his colleagues of the ways and means
committee is not happy one. With a
score or more OF influential gentlemen
demanding n ca.Sus for tho considerH-
ton of the tariff bill and various others
declaring that they will not vote for the
measure il it makes the drastic reduc.
tons on the articles in which their con.
stituents are interested. the difficulty in
securing Democratic harmony ON the
measure now being evolved by the ways
and means committee is every day be-
coming more apparent. The question
of an income tax is rapidly coming to
the front "a live issue.
The proposition which finds most
favor is to levy percentage tax ON all
incomes Of r., 800 per annum and over.
but those OF the committee who arc
now giving the matter the most study
are inclined to another plan. which they
believe TO be more practicable. This Is
to impose an income or capitalization
tax on corporations. that is 10 collect a
6xed annual tax, either from the earn
ings or the paid-up capital stock Of cor
porations. This has led 10 still another
proposition, which eontemplates the
taxing III all corporations Mt the tina
of their organization and incorporation,
the tax to be levied by means Of q stamp
and the amount Of the tar 10 be at
tached to the license to depend upon
the amount Of capital stock. IL seema
likely that IN the end the committee
may adopt some moderate plan.

It's a fact worthy of notice that just
after the passage of the repeal bill
wheat declined several cents bushel,
while the next day after the late cleo
ton, stocks advanced considerably.
which argues that the repeal bill was
not the promised needed legislation
the country wanted so much.
Give the country the assurance that
the tariff will not be tinkered with
and the repeal bill will cut a very
small figure in lettering the condi.
ton of trade.

WILLIAM HOUCK.
Death loves a shining mark "

bCdlu lONCS d SHlllllS llldlh.
Never was the adage truer than in
the death of our dear friend and rela-
tive, William Houck, which occurred
Tuesday morning, October "a, 1893,
aged Fl years and 10 days. He had
been in failing health for some time.
Consumption, that dreaded disease,
had fastened itself on him so firmly
that no medical skill was able to re-
move it. He gradually grew worse
and worse until death at last came to
his relief Though it was known
that he could not last much longer,
yet when the parting hour came il
produced such all impression on the
people of this community as has not
been felt for some time. After bid
ding the members of the family good
by his soul took leave of the body and
went to swell the throng of the re-
deemed i'll Heaven.
William Houck was a consistent
member of the NJ. p Church having
given his heart to God when young.
Being Jealous for the Masters cause,
his place in the sanctuary, if health
and circumstances permitted, was al
ways filled when services were being
held. He held at different times near
ly all the offices in the church to which
laymen are eligible. In his death the
family has lost dear, good son and
brother, the church an earnest work
er, and the community model citi-
zen. A large company of relatives and
friends followed his remains to the
cemetery at Harmony, where they
were inferred, Rev ]. Portch officiat-
