estS OF labor are certainly though indirectly
involved in this feature OF our
tariff system. The sharp competition

pension OF work in mills and factories "A dis
charge OF employees and distress in the

retrospective assertion could be made good.
that e lower rate OF wages would result from
free raw materials and low tarin duties the
intelligence Of our workingmeu leads them
quickly to dis cover that their steady employ
ment, permitted by free raw materials Is the
most important factor in their relations TO
tariff legislation.
y measure has been prepared by the appro-
pirate congressional commission embodyiug
tariu reform on the lines herein suggested,
which will be promptly submitted for legisla-
tive action. 10 Is the result Of much patriotic
and unsclhSh work. and | believe il deals
with its subject cOncisely and as thoroughly
as existing conditions permit / am satisfied
that the reduced tariff duties provided for in
the proposed legislation added to the existing
internal revenue taxation VIII IN the future
though perhaps not Immediately produce
sufficient revenue to meet the needs OF the
government.
The committee, after fun considerat ion. and
to provide against temporary deficiency
which may exist before the business OF the
country uUluNiS ltSelt TO the new tariff sChed-
uleS. have wisely embraced in their plan few
additional internal revenue taxes Including
small tax on incomes derived from certain
corporate investments These new assess
ments are not only absolutely Just and easily
borne hut they have the further merit OF
being such as can be RENTED without I'm
favorable business disturbance whenever the
necessity Of their imposition no longer eN-
lists.
In my great desire for the success OF this
measure | cannot restrain the suggestion
that its success can ..ly be attained by
means Of unsehsh counsel on the part OF the
friends Of tarln reform, and as result OF
their willingness TO subordinate personal de
sires and ambitions to the general good The
local interests affected 10y the proposed re
form are 80 numerous ana 80 varied that IL
all are insisted upon, the legislation embOdy-
ing the reform must inevitably fail
In conclusion my intense feeling OF re-
sponsibility impels me 10 invoke for the man
fold interests Of generous ana conndug
people the most scrupuous care to pledge my
willing support to every legislative effort for
advancement OF the greatness and prosperity
OF our beloved country.

TARIFF REFORM.

After a hard struggle tariff reform is di-
rectly before us. Nothing so in pOTtant
claims our attention, and nothing so clearly
presents itself as both an opportunity and a
duty, an opportunity to deserve the gratitude
Of our fellow citizens, and duty imposed
upon us by our Oft-repeatCd professions and
by the emphatic mandate Of the people
After fun discussion our countryInen have
spoken IN favor OF this reform. and they have
cOntded the work Of its accomplishment to
the hands OF those who are sOlemnly pledged
TO it. II there is anything IN the theory Of "a
representation in public places of the people
and their desires, If public officers are really
the servants OF the people. and II political
promises and professions have any binding
force our failure to give the relief so long
awaited will be sheer rccreancy. Nothing
should intervene TO distract our attention or
disturb our efforts until this reform is accom-
plished by wise and careful legislation. While
we should staunChly adhere to the principal
that only the necessity of revenue jlstihes
the imposition OF tarU duties and Otner fed
cral taxation. and that they should be limited
by strict economy, we cannot close our eyes
to the fact that conditions have grown up
among Us which, in Justice and fairness call
for discriminating care in the distribution Of
such duties ana taxation as the emergencies
Of our government actually demand.
Mauifcstly, II we are to aid the people di-
reutly through tarir reform. one of its most
obvious features should be "a reduction in the
present tariff charges upon the nccessaries OF
life The benefits OF such a reduction would
be paIpable ana substantial, seen and felt by
thousands who would be better fed and better
clothed ana better sheltered. These girts
should be the willing benefactions OF gov
eminent whose highest function is the pro.
motion Of the welfare Of the people.
Not less closely related to our peoples
prosperity and wellbeing is the removal Of
restrictions upon the importation Of The raw
materials necessary TO our manufactures.
The world should be open to our national
ingenuity and enterprise. This cannot be

ton OF q high tariff, fOrbids TO American

years a clerk in the Quartermaster-GeneraP
Office was found dead in his bed at the corner
OF Sixth and G streets northwest on Thursday
morning, March 80. The Colonel had recently
been under treatment at Garfield Hospital for

Col Fix was born in Belgium nearly 65 years
ago. He was by nature a soldier, having served
creditably under three flags. For Ia years he
was in the Belgian SERVICE where he won the
straps of Lieutenant. In the war for the
freedom of Italy he espoused the cause OF lib.
erty. serving as Major of Engineers and chief
OF Garibaldi's staff
He came to this country at the outbreak of
the war, and became a Captain of the 59th Ohio,
and he WAS severely wounded while serving
with that regiment. He wxs promoted Lieu
tanant-C Colonel and Aid-ds-Camp. serving In
this capacity until mustered ont of service in
July. 1865.
Col. Fix leaves q widow, . son, and two
daughters, who are living at Vineland, N. J..
They were at once notified of their bereaye-
ment, and the daughters came st once to
Washington, but the widow was so Frustrated
by tho news Of her husbands death that she
csnld not travel The funeral took place Sat
urday, April /, and was in charge of Pest g.
