drummer, but not on the drummer who
was in the employ of a concern estab-
lished within the State. Very likely the
tax imposed by the Pennsylvania town
was IA tax of the same kind. Ii that be
so the decision of the court does not
touch the question of a license Imposed
against all peddlers. foreign and domestic
alike. The latter may be permissible
while the discriminating tax is not. II
we recollcet Alright the decision in the
Tennessee drummer case was based
largely on the clause of the constitution
which says that the citizens of each
State shall be entitled to all the privileges
and immunities of citizens in the sew
eral States" and was thus clearly aimed
at discriminating tax or license.
THE WILSON BILL IN ITS LATEST
FORM.
When Senator Hill denounced the
amended and re-amended and re-re-
amended tariff bill as an abandonment
of the fundamental doctrines of the
Democratic party as declared by the only
voice that has authority to declare them
the Democratic national convention
nobody replied to him for the very good
reason that nobody could. The amended
Wilson bill bears as little resemblance
to the measure which the Democratic
platform pronounced in favor OF as chalk
does to cheese. For years the Democrats
have harped on free raw materials, and
their last national platform commended
the efforts of the Democratic House
to remove the duties OF the Mckinley
bill from such materials. But what do
we find in the Wilson bill amended SO
to secure the votes of all but one of the
Democratic Senators? Coal, iron and
sugar-alI raw materials of prime I'M
portance-on the dutiable list For years
| the Democracy of New England have pic
| tured the value of free coal and iron to
| the manufacturers of this section, and
| have promised that whenever the Demo-
Gratis obtained control of the government
| this boon should be the New England
| manufacturers. The Democratic House
| did put coal and iron on the free list
| but the Democratic Senate at the de-
mand of the South restored them to
the duitable list. Sugar is free in the
Mckinley law, but in the amended Will
son bill it ill bear duty of forty per
cent ad valorem with an eighth of a
| cent additional on refined sugar for the
benefit of the Sugar Trust, an institution
which Democratic organs have been ac-
customed to refer to in very uncompli-
mentary language. The only articles OF
| Importance in which the Democratic
promise of free raw materials has been
redeemed are wool and lumber; both Of
them chiefly Northern products. But
the feature of the bill that has been ad-
| vocated with the most persistency is the
! income tax, which was not in the Demo-
cratic platform at all, but was borrowed
from the Populists. The Southern Sena-
tors wanted it because it would only
slightly affect their section, and would
be paid chiefly by the North. OF course
if they wanted it they got it. as they
did almost anything that they demanded
A really descriptive title to the bill
| would be bill to relieve the South
from taxation by placing it upon the
North. This is what the bill does

The special congressional election in

for reform. Argus.
Why don't you explain to your readers
the exact size of this victory for tariff
reform?" At the last congressional eIec-
ton the Democrats carried this district
By Abs plurality. They carried it Tues
day by 1,721-a loss of sixty per cent.
Probably but for dissensions among the
Repu blicans. the loss would have been
greater still. Tariff reform could NOT
stand many such victories as this. AS
the Democratic losses this year have
averaged per cent which could only be
expressed by three figures, the Argus
may be justified in Growing little when
the loss can be expressed in two.

Probably the amendents of the finance
committee will conciliate enough of the
dissenting Democratic Senators to pass
the Wilson bill through the upper
house but the bill will have been SO essen
TALLY modified from what 1t was when
it came from the House that there is
sure to be trouble when it gets into con-
ference committee. The House cannot
agree 60 it in its amended form without
practically abandoning almost every
thing it contended for and allowing the
Senate to dictate the form and substance
OF the bill. Already members are open
ly declaring that they will not do that,
and that the Senate must back down or
there will be no tariff legislation. The
Democratic senatorial compromise has by
no means got the party out of the woods.
Indeed it looks as if it had plunged it in
further.
