Admitted.

The Republican minority of the
committee of ways and means in
their report against reducing the
tariff, as proposed by the Wilson
bill, admit that the tariff is a tax
laid upon consumers, whether it
furnishes revenue to the government
or not.
Here is the admission, copied
verbatim from their report: "Our
goods are now met by foreign goods
on our own shores at price made
up of raw materials, plus labor and
plus the present rate of tariff, on
very nearly equal terms"
The present rate of tariff is nearly
so per cent on the cost of dutiable
goods, which these Republican
members Of the ways and means
committee, Thomas B. Reed, leader
and writer Of the minority report,
say is added to the price of domes-
tic goods for consumers to pay.
This makes it very plain that the
tariff is tax, whether it furnishes
any revenue to the government or
not.
There is no lodging the conclu-
sion that if the "present rate of tar
if" is added to the price, the Amer
lean consumer must necessarily pay
it. In other words:
The tariff is tax;

lican members Of the ways and

Business will 60 Forward.

The Northwestern Lumberman
records its opinion regarding a re-
vival Of business as follows:
While we must recognize the fact
that manufacturers and dealers are
not just now looking expectantly
into the future, but we may be sure
that they will not long indulge this
somber state of mind. Lumbermen
have always been of a hopeful dis
position. Whatever may happen
of discouraging nature, they look
forward cheerfully to the spring.
time, "when the logs come down"
They may gloom and glover in
their offices for a few days succeed
ing January L, butin short while we
shall see them moving about with
cheerful countenances, talking con-
fidently of the spring trade, negotiat-
ing for logs and lumber, and max
ing the usual preparations for the
years business. And why not?
The country is still here, with it's
teeming population of 100000
people, its cities, some of them
with millions of people each, it's
over 10000 miles of railway to be
maintained, it's myriad of necessities
to be provided for. Business will
go forward despite public financial
policies or tariff questions. The
opening of the spring season must
bring a revival of movement in all
lines of pursuit. This is inevitable
in any event. The lumber trade
will share in this revival. 1t will
come when there has been q long
period of restriction in output, so
that there will not be the usual
crowding of surplusage on the mar
ket. We can thus safely count on
a general relief of overload, such as
constantly has been the tendency
in recent years. On this account
we shall have a healthier condition
of trade in the spring than many
now expect. Simply an ordinary
demand, such as there must Of nee
essity be, will absorb the visible
supply and make way for the pro-
duct of another year. Further
more, the tendency of mill opera
tors will be to a careful running of
their capacity for fear of an unwar-
ranted accumulation. Thus, the
depression of the past year will
have tended to clear the markets of
surplus, and infuse in them new
element of strength.
1t will do no good to sulk in our
tents; it will greatly help the stu
alton to rise up out of the ashes of
dependency and go forward cheer

Railway Building.

The Railroad Age of December
20 contained a statement of railway
construction during 1893. 1t makes
the total of new track laid to have
been $3.50 miles, on 222 lines in the
United States. In Canada 461 miles
of new track was laid on 16 lines,
and in Mexico 80 miles on five lines.
Vermont, Connecticut, Delaware,
Nevada and Indian Territory show
no addition of mileage. Pennsyl-
vania leads, with 800 miles, Florida
comes next, with 212 miles, North
Dakota added 1914 miles, Georgia
173, Texas 1855 and Ohio 148 miles.
Illinois still leads in the extent Of
lines, having 10,427 miles. Penn
sylvania is second, with 9,55S miles,
and Texas third, with 9,206.
The new mileage of 1893 was less
by 1000 miles than that of either
of the two preceding years, and was
much smaller than that of any year
since 1878, when the total was 2,670.
The lowest point reached since 1878
was in 1885, when only 3,131 miles
was built. That followed the de-
preston in finance and industry in
1883 and 1884. Thus it can be
seen how railway construction rises
and falls with the condition of the
country financially and industrially.
During the past ten years there has
been an addition to the railways of
the country to the extent Of 56,39S
miles, or an average of 5,640 miles
year. In 20 years, or since 1878,
107,5S5 miles have been built. The
present railway mileage Of the coun-
try is 177,S 1853 miles. 1t will require
only an average yearly increase of
1854 miles for the next seven years
to carry the total in 1900 to 100000
miles, and it will probably be 215,-
600. Unless extreme depression
should continue through this year,
the prospect in that construction
will add more mileage to the total
than in 1898, several projects look
ing to that result having been put
under way.

Public Opinion.

''In no country in the world"
says the author of the American
Commonwealth, lis public opinion
so powerful as in the United States,
4" n Towering over presidents
and state governors, over congress
and state legislatures, over conven-
tions and the vast machinery of
party, public opinion stands out, in
the United States, as the great
source Of power, the master of SER
wants who tremble before it. n I"
In America opinion is not made,
but grows, y n n does not origi-
nate in particular class, but grows
up in nation at large"
No less remarkable than the
great power of public opinion-if
indeed, it is not the chief reason for
that power-is, the promptness
with which it finds expression.
Every event of general interest,
within few hours after it's occur
ence, is published in every corner
of the land. Swiftly flow back
from the people the rivulets of
views that unite to form the great
stream of public opinion.-Ex.

Wants More for His Wool.

S. o. Fisher is not only willing
to see lumber go on the free list,
but he writes to a Philadelphia wool
dealer that he will petition congress
to put wool on the free list, and
says the quicker it goes there the
better, as wool will be enhanced in
value by such action. Mr.. Fisher
has some $4,000 sheep on a ranch
in Colorado, and yet is not scared
by the bugaboo of free trade. Be-
fore the Mckinley bill was passed
he got twice as much for his wool
as he has been offered since, and he
fails to see where he has been bene-
fitted by the higher duties on wool.

means committee who signed the
minority report.
Their admission is accepted.
They say that the price of goods
is made up of raw materials, plus
labor and plus the tariff.
The tariff tax on dutiable goods
is nearly so per cent.
The Democrats propose to reduce
it to 30 per cent.
The only objection to this is that
the reduction is not large'enough.
For the tariff is a tax.-Jackson
