THE CURRENCY BILL
Of Secretary John G. Carlisle Pre-
Sented in the House.
A RULE FOR ITS CONSIDERATION.
Debate Will Begin To-Day and
Continue Till After the Holi-
days, a Vote Being Taken on
January z, at Noon.

WASHINGTON, Decemb Der 17.-SpesKer
Crisp and his associates on the House
Committee on Rules determined to-day
on a special rule by which Secretary
Carlisle's bill for the currency revision
will be debated and voted on In the
House of Representatives. The orlgi-
nal purpose Of securing a vote before
the HOLIDAYS was given up.
Instead of that IL was
arranged that the general debate should
begin tomorrow and continue until
the recess at the END of this week.
When Congress reassembles January 3,
the currency debate will be resumed,
the fourth and fifth being given to de-
bate under the fivs-minute rule. Inc
vote will probably be taken on Monday,
January z, at noon. 1t would
be fixed for the eighth II
that were not 'Jackson's Day,
when many members expect 10 be ao-
sent at celebrations. Instead OF carry
ing the vote over TO Monday noon, 1t
may be determined TO take it Saturday
night. Speaker Crisp will determine
on the exact time, and the special rule
in accordance with the foregoing VIII
be submitted by him to the Rules Com
mittee Tomorrow. 1t will make no
provision for morning or night ses-
sions.
The bill was presented to-day with
favorable report from the Committee
Oh Banking and Currency.
The minority presented report ad-
verse to the bill, the argument being
that II had not received proper con-
sideratlon in committee.

WASHINGTON, December 1.-THE
bill to protect forest reservations,
which was bone of contention during
the last session, and which has twice
been under discussion during the pres
ent session, was finally passed to-day
under suspension of the rules.
The motion to suspend the rules rem
dered the opposition helpless to prevent
a vote, and as the bill secured the nee
essary two-thirds, it was passed.
The bill provides that no public for
est reservation shall be established ex-
cept to improve and protect the forest
within the reservation, or for the pur-
poee Of securing favorable conditions
of water-fow. 1t gives the Secretary
Of the Interior authority to make regu-
lar annual inspection.
The remainder OF the day was de-
voted to the army appropriation bill.
The bill reduced the number OF pay
masters in the army by i've and the
number of captains ia the subsistence

Appleton's cyclopHdia for 1891, page

growing worse. While population

The Income Tax.

law that "There should be assessed,
levied, collected, and paid annually
upon the gains, profits and income re-
ceived in the preceding calender year
by every citizen of the United States,
whether residing at home or abroad,
and every person residing therein,
whether said gains, profits or income
be derived from any kind of property,
rents, interest, dividends, or salaries,
or from any profession, trade, employ
ment. or vocation carried on in the
United States or elsewhere, or from
any other source whatever, a tax of
two per centum on the amount so de-
rived over and above four thousand
dollars, and like tax shall be levied,

property owned and of every business,

United States by persons residing

The trouble with the times is not

Mckinley for President.

This trotting of William Mckinley
around the political track must mean
something like Mckinley for Presi.
dent in 1896. 1t is great show and
Mckinley is its director. There is a
saying that there is nothing new un.
der the sun, and this exhibition of the
Napoleon Of Carnegie and sugar trust
tariffs is but a new form of ceremon.
ial practiced by the Aztecs ofMexico.
Ever so often they chose one of their
number to represent god and showed
him the highest possible honors, but
after while they slew him. 1t will
be so with Mckinley.
He may be shown all possible hon.
Ors now until his head becomes swelled
to the greatest possible dimensions,
when they will let him down into his
political grave. Democrats can de-
sire nothing better than that he should
be nominated as the Republican presi-
dental candidate. The people have
been educated on the tariff question
and they are not McKinleyites.-

He is Called Down.

That staunch Republican newspa-
per, the Marquette Mining Journal,
has enough decency to admit the
truth when it effects business interests
even if it does convict a Republican
congressman Of perfdious work. Sam
Stephenson, congressman from the
upper peninsula, has been bowling
calamity with a vim worthy of Nc
Kinley, and his assertions that the new
tariff law is running his portion of the
state are thus rebuked by The Min
ing Journal:
Mr.. Stephenson's statements do not
accord with the facts. There are
more men employed in the mines up
here now than there were a year ago,
and the demand for men to work in
the woods is so great that loggers are
finding some difficulty in getting as
many as they have work for, notwith-
standing they are paying about the
same wages they did years ago, be-
fore lumber was put on the free list.
AS calamity bowler" Mr.. Stephen
son is a success, but he should not
allow his eagerness to paint things in
the darkest colors to influence him to
stray too far from the truth.

elected the entire military force OF
three states was in the field at the
same time suppressing labor troubles.
1t was the reduction of wages and
the hard times that followed the Nc
Kinley law that caused the overwhelm-
ing defeat of the Republican party in
80 and '92, especially in the mining
districts. Wheat was lower on the
first day of Nov. 90 than it had been
for over 80 years, and wages were
lower than they had been since the
war. Wool had fallen IN price every
year, and was lower than it had been
