NO TARIFF HEARINGS WANTED.

If the committee on ways and means
consults the wishes Of the country on
the tariff question there will be no de-
lay for hearings. or for any other pur-
pose. The tariff question has been &C
lively before the country for more than
twenty years, and during the last six
years Of that time ii has been the CEN
trail and absorbing question. 1t has
been discussed thoroughly in every con-
ceivable phase. Congress has collected
testimony in various ways from the
tariff commission of 1872 to the tariff
hearings of 1890. The information col
dexed. The literature on the subject
has grown to tremendous dimensions.
No committee could examine it in a
year We presume there is not a men,
Der of congress who has not studied
the question as much or more than any
other question, or who has not made
speeches or written articles telling how
the tariff ought to be reformed. We
submit that, for their own sakes, con-
gressmen cannot afford to say to the
country now that they do not know
how TO reform the tariff without taking
more testimony.
But there is another and much more
important consideration. Every think
ing man realizes that delay i'm the adj
justment Of the tariff will be an injury
to the business interests of the country.
The change itself will be beneficial. Ev-
eryone who advocates tariff reform I'M
derstands that II Is the delay in max
ing the change that does injury. Ev-
eryone engaged in business, whether he
believes in tariff reform or not, under
stands that. The manufacturer and i'm
porter both know that some change
may be made that will affect their raw
material or their goods, and they can
not safely proceed with their business
until they know what the change is to
be- A wise engineer will not run his
engine at full speed IL he does not feel
sure that the switches are turned right,
and a wise manufacturer or importer
will so restrict his business that he can
not be affected by a prospective change
until he knows just what the change is.
This is simply the application Of COM

the gold discoveries in California came.
The reason why silver stayed in the
country from 1884 to 1850 was that we
had a large trade with the Spanish
Americans. and they used the same coin
age ratio that we did. The produce of
the Mississippi valley was not sold in
the East. but was taken in boats to New
Orleans and sold. The silver thus
brought into the country passed to the
East Tor goods and so permeated the
commerce of the country. With the
flood of gold from California came also
the railroads to the East, and our COM
merce was completely changed in char
acter. Silver at once began to disap-
pear, and in 1858 1t became necessary to
debase our half-dollars and smaller coins
in order to keep any change in the coun-
try The same causes will produce the
same effects now il we undertake free
coinage without the remainder Of the
world doing the same. If we put too
much silver in the dollar silver will
leave us. If we put too little in it gold
will leave us.

against several phases of it in particu-
lar The three systems chiefly affected
by the change are the Pennsylvania,
the Big Four and the Vandalia. These

Union, and virtually the Belt and Stock
Yards. They have controlled the rail-
road lobby of the state for years, Mr..

reductions were made, the Pennsylvania
owns the 1. & W, the p, c.. c. & st. L.,
the Island Coal and Gosport branches
of the l. & " and the s. L. & l. C. The
Big Four has reductions its Chicago
division, the c., II. & c., the F., F. &
NJ, the p. & E.. both divisions. The
Vandalia is increased in both the T. H.
& l. and the T. H. & L. All three profit
by the heavy reduction on the Union
and the Belt. 1t is pretty well known
that there has been a serious ruction
between these roads because the Van
fore as compared with the others, and
this adjustment reminds one Of the
memorable occasion of which it was
said. And the same day PLATE and
We do not believe that anyone of these
roads is now assessed at 20 per cent. of
its actual market value.
The L.. N. A. & c. receives a reduc-
ton on it's Bedford & Bloomfield and
Orleans. West Baden & French Lick
lines, without any compensating in
crease on its main lines. As we showed
two days ago, this road was already as
sessed at less than 60 per cent. of it's
actual market value. and there was no
justification for this decrease. The re-
duction the Indianapolis Union and
the Belt is simply an insult to the in
telligence of the people. The former
was reduced from $2,Y1OOO0 to 81, 4O1, 1925.
The latter was reduced from $1,000, 900 to
s2,55s,O0O The total reduction on the
two, and they are practically one, is
$1,O14.075. For this reduction there is
not a shadow of excuse. These roads
are not now assessed for over so per
cent of their real value They are so
valuable that they are absolutely out
of the market and neither could be
bought today for twice the assessment.
The action of the board is in our opin-
ion clear violation Of the pledges OF
the democratic party, and The Sentinel
washes its hands of all responsibility
for it
The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1893-08-30

The state board Of tax commission
ers has fixed its rating Of railroads and
announces that 1t will stand as now
fixed. subject only to appeals of dissat-
isfed railroad companies. The result is
a decrease of $734,522 in the total as
sessment. Notwithstanding the addition
of the new road, the Montpelier & Chi
cago. which is valued by the board at
s1,167, $50. Taking this out. the reduc-
ton of railroad property from last
years assessment is 81. 9O1. s72. The as
sessment of last year made a decrease
from the year preceding of $213.773, so
that in the course of two years the
board has reduced the railroad assess
ment s2.115,645 Notwithstanding the gem
eral improvement of the lines and
general increase of their earnings So
much of the ground gained by the new
tax law Of 1891 has been lost So much
of the advance toward an equitable
taxation of the great corporations c.
the state has been retraced. We are
on the road back to the evils from which
we had to some extent escaped.
The Sentinel enters its earnest protest
against this action in general. and

mon sense to the situation, and no in
telligent tariff reformer has ever ques-
toned it.
A tariff is like a dam in stream.
Whether 1t is high or low the water
will adjust itself to the dam and get
over. under or around it in some way
or other So will the business Of the
country adjust itself to the tariff The
country has said it wants the dam low
cred, and congress says it proposes to
lower it. but everybody wants to know
just how much it will be lowered, and
at what points. so that he can pro-
coed with his business. Why not go
ahead with the work at once and COM
plete it as quickly as possible? The ma
jority of the people are not afraid Of
having the work done. They expect to
be benefited by il. But they do not
want to stand around and suck their
thumbs while congress hears unneces-
sary testimony or makes unnecessary
speeches about it, The democratic party
has perfect confidence that the ways and
means committee can prepare a judi
cious tariff bill without hearing a word
from anyone, and that congress will
pass it, and that the result will be
glorious benefit to the country. Let us
proceed to business. good thing can
not come too soon.

A SAMPLE RAILROAD ARGUMENT.

Mr.. E. NJ. Field appeals to the state tax
commissioners for a reduction of the as
sessment of the Louisville. New Albany
& Chicago railroad, and states his case
in this way: The total assessment of the
road is $9,673,S11; the taxes paid in Indi-
ana are 4.O6 per cent. of the gross earn
ings, 11.3s per cent. of the earnings after
deducting operating expenses and $50
per cent. of the earnings after deducting
operating expenses and fixed charges.
could stand such a drain on his income.
We think he could, but he would hardly
go to the trouble Of stating 1t in that
way. The L., n. a. & c. has, or had in
1892 dt has way Of increasing its bonds
and stock quite frequently. a funded
debt of s12.S00,000, on which it pays
yearly interest of $4,000. or nearly 6
per cent. When it was originally as
sessed under the tax law of 1891 it had
a capital stock of s5.OOO,OOo. which was
worth on the market 20 cents, making a
total vaule of $13, 900 for the road.
1t was originally assessed at about 20
per cent of its actual market value.
Last year the board very foolishly re-
duced its assessment when it should have
increased 1t. The road has increased its
capital stock to $4,000 900 and the stock
holders took the last S5.6OO,OOO of this at
% cents, which was the average market
value in 1891 and 1892. The road is, there
fore, worth S16 SOO,O 900 on the market, and
is assessed at less than so per cent. of its
actual market value, Notwithstanding
the express requirements of the state tax
law
theory. Suppose a farm is assessed at so
per cent. of what it will sell for at any
time, and is mortgaged for 80 per cent
more than it is assessed at. The farmer
finds that at the end of the year he has
made enough to pay the interest on his
debt, all charges for farm implements,
seed, insurance, wages to his hands and to
himself, including pay for the use Of his
teams, and all expenses of every kind.
and then after paying his taxes has a
surplus about equal to his taxes. Would
he probably have the cheek to say that
he is assessed too high? The operating
expenses of the road cover all expenses
except fixed charges. In the fixed
charges the L., n. A. & c. includes
rentals of about s165.OOo per annum, of
which about s125,OOO is to the Chicago 81
Western Indiana. But the L., N. A. & c.
owns one-fifth Of this road, and receives
from it an income of about $50 900, not to
mention the division of the c. ,& w. 1.
sinking fund among its owners. The
state board of tax commissioners need
not fear the abandonment Of any rail-
road. as suggested by Mr.. Field. because
il is assessed at nearly 60 per cent. of its
actual market value. And we imagine
it would not be healthy for the said board
to make any reduction in the aggregate
of railroad assessment.
