ABOUT TnE INCOME TAX,
Representative Hail OF MIssIssIppI De-
Tonds tho Proposed Increase

WAsHIsGToN, ID. c., January co.
Representative Hall, OF Mississippi,
to-day explained a numbe OF details Of
the incom tax To be reported TO the
House Monday. Mr.. Hall is regarded
In the House as the originator OF the
entire plan OF the income tax. He has
discussed the subject fully with Presi-
dent Cleveland aud with the various
members OF the cabinet. Regarding an
income tax Mr.. Hall to-day said: 81
find that there is much apprehension as
to the amount Of income which will be
subject to tax. If for
instance man receives sal
ary OF $1,000, he would pay a tax
on only 1000. One OF the most lnex-
plicable things 90 me IL the opposition
20 she income tax bill passed By tho
Ways and Means Committee from the
wealthy class Of the United states.
This bill might hays been entitled. "a
bill 10 suppress demagogy and the
growth OF anarchy aud socialism" 10
conversation with ono Of the ablest
lawyers OF this country, he made this
romark: "Were the legal adviser Of all
the consolidated wealth Of the United
States ] should ad wise them 70 ad yocate
just such al income tax bill as this. be-
cause ~ shows willingness upOu the
beih VI UfNihh " btal hDuit OF the Dur~
dens OF governmental taxation and re-
lieves the poor from burden. N this
bill rs defeated the domaROgues can
then we'll go upon the stump and say
that the wealth Of this country. while
IL receives the protection and defense
Of all other classes. refuses 20 bearan
Of the burdens for its support"
One Of the objections urged against
the income tax, said Mr.. Hall, is that IL
is inquisitorial IN It's character. SO IL
the custom house tax inquisitOrial. Is
not the internal revenue tax on whisky
and tobacco inqulsitOrisl2 Il not per
sonsl property taxation, which IS re-
sorted % by 30 out Of the a. States OF
the union lnqnlsitofial when IL requires

he has, and allows 40 officer % 20 into

ceeded In passing these laws 10 she
states now comes forward and oppose
an Income tax on the ground that IL Is

on Foreign Relations to-day, Senator
Gray. OF Delaware, examined Mr.. Ste
vens very closely upon the point where
he has beer charged by Commissioner
Blount with abetting the revolution.
The ex-Minister stood oy the state
ment that be had made and
gave the committee no opportunity
to show by his testimony that the
United States WAS in way responsible
for the revolution. Mr.. Stevens was
emphatic in his declaration that the
revolution would have occurred ia any
event; that IL was only a question OF
time, and the Queen by trying TO over
throw the constitution forced IL a. the
particular time when IL occurred.
Mr.. Stevens proved a willing witness,
full OF the subject and anxious TO throw
all the light possible upon the somewhat
complicated problem
he defended his course in the islands
from hrst 10 last aud found abundant
opportunity TO reply 10 and characterize
In no compl plimentary terms the reflec-
ttons made by the President aud ex-
Commissioner Blount. upon his policy.
lie admitted frankly that he had been an
advodate OF the annexation OF the Islands
TO the United States, hut asserted
that instead OF allowing this
Tact to influence him In having the
American troops landed and In assum-
Ing a protectorate over the islands in
the name OF the United States, he had
held back from this co ourse as long as
was possible to do so without doing
grave Injustice and permitting matters
TO assume shape which would have
been detrimental to the intrests of
this country, and it's people, not TO say
y n Nnfrr at 80 e. 4. L..
Mr.. Stevens explained his course
from the time he reached the islands
until the day OF his departure. Tho
story was told in detail aud the ex-
Minister had a most attentive audience
during his recital.

ARGUING THE TARIFF.
Only One Amendment Disposed OF Ycs-
terday.

Only One Amendment Disposed OF Yes-
WASHINGTON, ID. c., January Co
Only one amendment to the tariff bill
was argued today, relating to the tim
plate schedule. 1t was unimportant,
however, affecting not the rates. but
the technicalities OF tho trade. The
henderson amend TO substitute the
existing rate on agricultural products,
the DiDgley amendment to change the
rates on lime for 10 por cent. ad valorem
10 specific duty Of cents per hund-
red pounds and the Grain amendment I
10 reduce the duties on cotton and
wooden goods from As per cent. TO IS
per cent. were lost
AT l:lo y. IN. the Presidents Secre-
tary appeared with the Hawaiian mes
sage and the veto OF the New York and
New Jersey Bridge bill.
The reference In the message OF
transmission To the remarkable letter OF
President Dole To Minister Willis caused
Great curiosity In the House, and Mr.
HIT, leader OF the Republican minority
OF the Committee on Foreign Affairs,
asked that the letter be read. No OBJ
lection was made. While the reading
was progressing the members on both
sides crowded down about the Speakers
rostrum, listening eagerly to the protest
OF the Dole government against the Rc-
ton OF Minister Wills. At several
points In the letter the Republicans ap-
plauded, and when IL was finished they
broke into cheers. When Mr. Willis's
reply was read the Democrats In turn
gave IL their approving plaudi:s. The
subsequent correspondence evoked ap-
plause from each side alternately, the
republicans applauding President
Dole's communications and the Demo
Gratis signifying with voice and hand
their approval OF the course OF Mr..
Willis.
At the conclusion OF the reading the
message and accompanying documents
were referred TO the Committee on For
eign Affairs.
The House then resolved itself into n
committee OF the whole for the consid-
GRAFTON OF the tariff bill. The interest
In the tariff, however, had plainly de-
parted and members stood about in
groups discussing the Hawaiian message
and correspondence.
At $3.50 the committee rose and the
House recessed until 8 o'clock. with an
important amendment by Mr.. Hit
pending, the subject OF which was 10
force Canada to admit our coal free In
return for the free admission of Cana
dian coal into the United States.
When the House resumed its session
tonight, Representative Talbot dem,
South CarolinA) spoke In favor OF the
tariff bill, and was followed by Repre-
sentative G. w. Stone (Rep., Pennsyl-
vania) In opposition.
Mr.. Boatner dem. La, the next
speaker, censured the Ways and Means
Committee for reporting bill which,
he asserted. savored so much OF
the protective policy. He thought
that the Ways and Means Committee
should have placed n duty upon sugar,
Instead OF maintaining a bounty on that
article. Representative Strong, (Rep.,
Ohio,) spoke in opposition TO the bill,
as did Representative Wheeler, (Rep.,
lllinois,) after which the House ad-
iOurned
