TARIFF AND TAXATION.

Gleveland's Endorsement of the new
tariff bill signifies that there Is no pat
rOnage i'll store for any Democrat who
opposes list. Louis GlobeIsemocrat
The people.of this country will never
tolerate an income tax, aud he Demo,
Gratis will soon find this out to their cost
ii they attempt To force one upon them.
New York Herald.
Mr.. Watterson does not think the
tariff is radical enough, despite the fact
that the deficit in revenues will have to
be made up largely by an increase of
tax on Kentucky napolis

We are not prepared to believe that
the passage of any law, however iniqui-
tous. is calculated to make the Ameri-
can people nation of perjurers. If SO,
may God have mercy on the nation

The income tax has become practi-
cally inevitable. The mere publication
of the Wilson tariff has reduced the
withdrawal of imports for consumption
and thereby cut down revenues. This
loss will continue for months and the
gap must somehow be tilled.-PhiladeI-
phia Press.
The ways and means committee In
favorably considering the proposition to
tax the incomes of corporations runs the
risk of adding to tue burdens OF pro-
ductive industry and leaving non-pro-
ductiye wealth untaxed. Such an un-
just discrimination should not be made.
Atlanta Constitution.
1t Is much more extreme and drastic
in its destructive features than has
been expected. 1t far outruns conserva--
tive aniiclpations, and comes up to the
most radical demands of the most pro-
nOunced enemies of protection, No
such bold approach to free trade has
ever before taken Legislative form in
this country.-Philadelp Press.
The Wilson bill as it stands shows
conclusiyely that its trainers do not
have the courage of their convictions.
VOwing that protection is robbery, they
have framed a protective tariff. De-
handing tariff for revenue only, they
have thrust aside such essential revenue
features as lax on sugar, on tea and
similar articles of universal consump-
tlons-Chicago Record.
We may conclude that it Is possible
for the bill to reach the president before
the end Of March. And it may pass the
senate by larger majority than has
been anticipated, for some Republican
senators are not as rabid protectionists
as Mr.. Mckinley, and others, from the
silver states, are said to be inclined to
punish their Eastern party associates
sby voting for the reform biII.-Chicago
Herald
g Whether the committee have got their
tariff adjusted so that it will collect the
reveDuS wanted and no more is their
lookout. Few private minds can go into
such close calculation. The bill as a
whole will now have to be tried. From
the limited examination the News has
been able to give it, it does not appear
that anybody could have done better the
thing this committee had to do.-Detroit
News.
&c The new tariff policy is full of hope
for every branch of American industry.
1t Isl policy OF unimpeded growth and
against policy of;coddling and eontrac-
ton that benefits the few at the ex-
penSe OF the many. 1t is an American
policy. 1t will open to this great coun-
try, with its infinite resources, the
markets of the world. 1t will start up
our factories, revive our commerce and
carry American products and American
influence everywhere. Philadelphia
Times.
The bill to destroy the industries of
the country, TO reduce wages and to put
an end to American prosperity was
given to the public yesterday. At the
same instant was given out the bill to
strike the shackles off American indus
tries, to increase the demand for labor
by widening the market for it's prod
ucts: to cheaper the cost of manufact-
ured articles to consumers, and conse-
quently to increase American prosper
Ivy. By the way. the two bills are iden-
teal. The point of view has everything
to do with describing its purposes and
scope.-lndiaaapolis NeWs,
