No More Tariff Liquidation.

1t did not require Senator Murphy's
! resolution TO convince the country that
/ there would be no more tariff legislation
! at this session Of congress, unless it be
/ legislation TO correct errors in the bill
| that has been passed. When the House
passed the four popgUn bills, putting SUI
gar, iron ore, coal and barbed wire on the
free list, there was not a congressman
who was not reasonably certain that the
Senate would not pass the bills.
The senator's who brought about the
changes in the Wilson bill practically con
troll the Senate. They do not intend that
sugar shall be placed on the free list,
either at this session or the next. They
secured what they wanted for the sugar
trust, and being able 10 DO that they are
able to hold on to what they obtained.
The republicans make a great deal OF
noise about the protection the sugar trust
has received, but should the opportunity
arise they would be found voting soldly
in the interest of that trust. Is not the
sugar trust the child of the Republican
party. There would be no sugar trust if
that party had not given to sugar REIN
ers, in the Mckinley tariff, the enormous
protection of go cents per 100 pounds. Is
it reasonable TO suppose that having
brought the trust into existence the
republicans would kill it by voting to put
sugar on the free list
The republican senator's and republican
press pretend they want free sugar, but
they are not sincere. They would be
better satisfied if the sugar trust had OBJ
tanned still greater protection in the new
tariff bill. 1t is probable that the repub-
lican senator's would vote to put raw
sugar on the free list because
free raw sugar would hurt only the sugar
planters. They are not particularly in
terested in the planters but they want the
trust protected.
All the democrats do not want raw
sugar put on the free list, though about
all of them would be glad to see the sugar
trust deprived of its power to rob the
people. The revenue from raw sugar is
needed by the government. Without the
revenue from that source there would be
a deficiency in the revenues.
AS long as republican senators want
the sugar trust protected and democratic
senators want a duty on raw sugar for
the revenue it brings, there is no danger
that sugar will be put on the free list.
In fact, it may be safely concluded that as
far as this congress is concerned, there
will be no more tariff legislation.

The Income Tax.

Now that it is almost certain that the
tariff bill will become a law, it not being
thought probable that the President viii!
veto it, good deal of interest is mani
tested in the income provision of it. 1t is
admitted that the income tax provision
is extremely crude in many important
particulars and leaves room for doubt as
to what its meaning is. Able lawyers,
who have given it very careful considera-
ton, are of the opinion that great deal
of trouble will be experienced in collect
ing the tax. 1t is not thought that the
amount that will be realized from the tax
on individual incomes will be much more
than the cost of collecting it. The chief
of the bureau of statistics thinks
that the tax on incomes of
corporations will yield anywhere from
S12 900, 900 to $40, OOO, 600 The Secretary
of the Treasury estimates that the treas
ury will get about Sl5. 900, 600 from the in
comes of both individuals and corpora
tions.
1t is not yet absolutely certain that the
treasury will ever receive a dollar from
the tax. Some of the best lawyers hold
not at all improbable that steps will be
taken at once to determine the question
of its constitutionality.
Even if the tax should be held to be
constitutional there is certain to grow
out of it a vast amount of litigation In
the money centers there is great opposi-
ton to it, and nothing will be
left undone to defeat its enforce
ment. The announcement is made
in New York that several of the largest
corporations have determined to resist
payments of the tax, and their lawyers
are even now preparing arguments to be
submitted to the courts. 1t may be re-
garded as certain that very little of the
tax will he paid before the supreme court
has passed upon numerous questions
that will be raised in connection with it,.

expression Where am l aty-now become a

no less an authority than Thomas Carlyle In

act of the English government, CARLYLE SAYS:

The Happiest Days.

Men strive for wealth and positions Of
honor and power, thinking that when
they attain the ends at which they aim
they will be happy. But wealth and po-
sitions of honor and power do not bring
happiness. Why is it then thatmen strive
so earnestly for those things} Do they
think they will be more fortunate than
those who have been successful in graft
flying their ambition?
On one occasion, near the end of his
life, James G. Blaine was asked what
was the happiest period of his life In
answer, he said: 1.-The happiest time in
my life was before the people became in
terested in me. Before | was watched,
followed, talked about and prosecuted.
When l was a simple lawyer, happy over
a s. case. And to others would say that
the quiet life is the happy one-to be the
unknown person. Tolstoi is right. He
has the right idea Happiness lies in the
homespun and in toll"
Nearly every man who has achieved
success will admit the truth of what Mr.
Blaine said, and yet it is doubtful if any
one of them, if he had his life to live over
again, would choose homespun and toll
He would think that he would be the ex-
ception to the rule, and that in some I'M
explainable way he would have his ambi-
ton for wealth or power gratified and
still have happiness.
The road to wealth or power is not an
easy one. and the man who travels it is
pretty certain to receive many bruises
before he reaches the end of it.
He finds himself opposed at every
step, and he may be required to fight
many moral battle before he achieves
success. These moral battles leave scars
which make contentment impossible.
The man of wealth may have become so
! hardened during the time he was accumu-
lating his fortune that he has not the
capacity for enjoying what money places
within his reach, and the man who gains
| power may have made so many enemies
and done so many things that a man of
| generous and kindly nature would not
| have done that he finds no pleasure in the
! exercise of his power.

whose prominence in politics excite the

They do such queer things in South
Carolina politics. The convention that
met at Columbia the other day was a
"domocratic" convention, yet it put in its
platform the old, bug eaten plank about
subtreasuries and the populistic plank
about the government ownership Of rail-
roads. TO both of these alliance de-
mands' Gov. Tillman has repeatedly OBJ
iected and asserted his hostility. Never
theless the convention unanimously in.
dorsed Tillman for the Senate. The
questions arise: What made the conven-
tion democratic How could the conven.

to its chief demands What will Tillman

sense, or pay no attention TO the de

Of the designations etc, and of the fact
that St. Clair-Abrams was beaten for re-
nomination, while Marks was renomi-
mated. And now comes the peculiar part
Of il; Both senatorial districts instructed
In favor of commission. The people
who defeated St. Clair-Abrams instructed
his successor to do just what he had
done-to vote for a railroad commission,
while the people who renominated Marks
instructed him to reverse his previous
action, and vote for the commission the
next time. In other words, St. Clair
Abrams was told in effect, "You were
right, but you can't go back" while
Marks was told, you were wrong, but
