trial depression or ruin would be the con-
sequence OF the policy to which the Democ-
racy was committed. The people paid no
attention to these predictions. They were
not to be frightened from their deliberate
and settled purpose. They wanted pro-

tional tariff. 1t must be supposed that
they weighed the cost and all the conse-
quences. The surgeons knife hurts. but

fering may attend that fall. They are not
to be counted: for In the first place. the
vindication OF the Constitution is an
achievement OF inestimable value. and
in the second place. the advocates OF
the tariff for revenue only have told Ms
for years that prosperity and plenty are
sure to come from a tariff for revenue
only. II any man deems himself injured
by the prospect Of the change soon to be
made. he will more approve his wisdom by
waiting until the genial effects OF the

The Kansas Income Tax Bill.

The Boston journal pretends to believe
that the appointment Of the Hon. WILLIAM
l.. WILSON as Chairman OF the Ways and
Means Committee is humiliation to
the New England. and especially to the
Massachusetts Democrats. Mr.. WILSON
opposed or delayed the bills for free coal
and free iron introduced into the Fifty
second Congress by the Hon. JOHN For
REsrER ANDREW OF Massachusetts,. The
free coal and free iron bills were supposed
to be In the interest Of the New England
iron manufacturers. Upon this ground the
journal builds the surprising assertion that
"if the Administration were deliberately
seeking to chagrln and humlllate the New
England Democracy. it could not do 30 bet
ter than by placing this marplot MIR.
WILSON, In the Craftsmanship Of the Ways
and Means Committee"
This Is mere petulance and bile. Mr..
WILSON showed that he was an intelligent
and consistent supporter OF tariff for
revenue only. by opposing measures for the
special benefit Of class. Before the tariff
for revenue only had been raised to the
rank Of the constitutional tariff. he stood
in the way Of the greed OF the New Eng
land manufacturers for special legislation;
and this fact Is an earnest of his adherence
to constitutional tariff principles in the
high place to which he has just been called.
A free list Is as bad as a bounty. Both are
forms Of that robbery Of the great
majority OF the American people for
the benefit OF the few. which the Demo-
cratic party is commissioned to stop. The
remission Of taxes for the benefit OF manu-
facturers Is even worse than the imposition
Of taxes for the same purpose. because there
Is some revenue in q protective tax. VIII ereas
q free list Is total denial and violation
Of the constitutional principle Of taxation.
The Boston Journal and the New England
manufacturers should understand that the
policy Of favoritism and class legislation
has expired. The Ways and Means Com
mittee is bound to root out tariff robbery
and to vindicate the Constitution.

Italy and France.

The danger Of war between France and
ITALY. caused by the massacre OF Italian
Workmen at Aigues- Mortes and the reprl-
sails on French residents In Italian cities,
seems temporarily averted by expressions
OF regret and promises of reparation on
the part of the respective Governments.
1t is said that the Italian Minister OF
Foreign Affairs has informed the head
of the French Foreign Office that, in view
OF the dismissal OF the Mayor Of Aigues-
Mortes. Italy considers the incident as sat
isfactorily closed. II. however. the resent
ment Of the Italian people at the slaughter
OF their compatriots continues to manifest
itself in Insult and violence. the relations Of
the two countries may again be severely
strained: and it is therefore an interesting
question whether. In the event OF hostilities,
Italy could count on the assistance OF the
other members Of the Triple Alliance.
The text of the treaties which define the
reciprocal obligations assumed by Germany,
Austria. and Italy has never been published,
neither has their precise purport been dis
closed on any trustworthy authority. Eu.
ropean newspapers have. however, been
allowed. without official contradiction. to
disseminate the impression that the pro-
visions Of the Triple Alliance are complex
and intricate; the agreement between Ger
many and Austria. for instance. differing
from that between Germany and Italy,
which. again. is said not to be Identical with
that entered into between Italy and Austria.

ANOTHER ITALIAN INCIDENT

WARRINGTON. Aug. 23.-There has been a
correspondence concerning the forcihle ex.
pulsion Of italian workmen from Cripple

Waite. and Baron Fava. the Italian Minister
at Washington. but 1t is likely that the ex-

tory to the Italian Government. and that the
incident will be declared closed. Tho cor
respondence began with note from Baron
Fava to Secretary Gresham com planning that
Italian subjects working at Cripple Creek had
been driven away by American citizens and
limiting that tho affair was duo to race preIu-
dice against the Italians.
Secretary Gresham asked Gov. Waite for in
formation to enable him to answer the Italian
Minister. and on the receipt OF the Governors
answer the Secretary wrote an explanation to
the Baron In which he So Id that the attack was
not due to race prejudice. but to a feeling
against cheap labor. The Secretary said that
living at Cripple Creek was somewhat higher
than In the East, and that miners and other
workmen expected better wages When the
Americans there found themselves underbid
by Italians they took forcible m easures OF So
