THE new TARIFF BILL
A Report That It Provides for Rad
ioal Reductions.
HEAVY OUTS IN GLASS AND IRON.

The Tax on Whisky and other Dlstulery
Products Likely TO be Largely Increased.
Tho Income Tax Proposition Meeting
with Increased Favor.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.--In spite Of all
the talk that is being indulged in by some
of the Democrats of the house about a
conservative and moderate tariff bill, the
measure which is now almost completed
is radical, some of the cuts in duties being
extremely heavy The average percentage
Of reduction which will be shown by the
bill will not be indicative of the cuts
made, for the reason that a great many
things on which there are more or less
heavy duties now will be put on the free
list, and will not figure in the estimate of
averages.
It will be some time yet before the full
bill is given out but some Of the features
of it have become known from time tn
time. There are a number Of other items
on the free list besides wool, coal, iron ore,
pig tin, lumber, salt and silver lead ore.
Some of the heaviest cuts made where
items are not on the free list are in tho
glass and iron schedules, and the textiles
not in the cotton schedule. The shoe ana
leather and cotton schedules are cut very
little
In fax and wooden textiles, wearing ap-
parel and blankets, and carpets and the
like, the cut is very heavy. The duties op
glass throughout the schedule are cut
about In the middle. Steel rails are re-
duced to 25 per cent. ad valorem. There
will probably be nothing in the iron
schedule running above 30 per cent, and
the average will probably fall below 25.
The ad valorem system is adopted almost
entirely in the bill.
The question Of sugar has not yet been
settled, and there is a strong disposition in
response to the needs of the treasury to
| put small duty on that article. Thren
or four members of the committee are
earnestly opposed to any tax, and others
are in doubt, so that question is unsettled.
The tobacco, beer and whisky schedules
are also expected to be considered in full
committee and there now appears little
doubt there will be material increase in
the tax on whisky and other distillery out
puts. The proposition for an increase of
/ 35 cents a gallon on whisky is now being
| informally discussed and some members
of the committee even mention an increase
as high as 90 cents gallon,
The full Democratic membership of the
ways and means committee met this
morning in general conference, and it is
expected the meeting will have the effect
of clearing up the uncertainty that has
existed for some time with reference to
several Of the important schedules of the
new tariff bill. The members of the com
nittee who have been favoring the pro
vision for an income tax feel confident
t hat the result of the series of conferences
Just begun will prove that the majo rity OF
the committee favors such a plan.

An exchange well says; " Whenever
country newspapers find foreigners
invading the field of the home
merchant with goods and merchandise
and selling them TO farmers, they are
asked TO arise and wack the intruders
and advise the farmers to buy their
goods of the home merchant. And when
foreign printing houses send their
representatives among the merchants
and business men, these same mer-
chants give them their orders and get
inferior work for their money. That's

SCHOLARLY, DIoNIrrrD CRAIG.
An once That Should be Kept Above

the sordid Aims OF Politicians
The people OF Monroe and Carbon
counties are TO be congratulated ON
electing Allen Craig TO the bench Of
that judicial district. They decis-
lively rebuked the great boss at Harris
burg, aud the minor bosses at Mauch
chunk, who endeavored to foist upon
them cunning trickster for the one
great Office in the gift of the people
that should be kept pure, and above
the sordid aim of politicians.
On Jan. 3st John b, Storm will leave
the bench with less credit and honor
than when he asceuded it "a few short
months ago, and his place will be oc-
oupied by the scholarly and dignifed
Allen Craig, a worthy successor to the
just and honorable Samuel s. Dreher
The Journals interest in this con.
test was not only because it desires
the best man elected TO the bench, ana
hence, necessarily, the selection of Mr.
Craig, but because 1t felt that its con
stituency in Carbon county was being
imposed upon and their confidence
outraged by the political bosses. Aut
the result Of the election shows thai
it reflected the sentiments of its Carbon
county friends and readers " hit
