A Collapse of Industry.
The review of different departments of
trade given today exhibits a collapse of in
dustry and business which is almost with
out precedent The iron industries sus-
tanned weekly production of 181, 551 tons
of pig May 1, but by October 1 the output
had fallen to 1896 tons, and the recovery
to about 100, 900 tons December still leaves
Al per cent of the force unemployed. Over
half the wooden manufactures are idle,
and, excepting brief recovery in Novem-
Der, have been ever since new wool came
in in May, for all sales in the chief mar
kets in the eight onths have been but
LOG, 795, 400 pounds, partly for speculation,
the price having fallen 20 per
cent for feeces to the low
est point ever known, against 212, 339, 003
pounds in the same months last year.
Sales of cotton goods are fully one-fourth
below the usual quantity. The small adj
vance attempted in boots and shoes year
ago was not sustained, but with prices as
low as ever, the shipments of boots and
shoes from Boston are "a per cent less than
last year in December. Not only manu-
featured goods as a whole, but the most
important farm products are so low that
farmers find little comfort Official and
other reports deluded traders with the no
ton that crops of last year were so short
that famine prices could be realized"
The Relief of the Wilson Bill.
To add to the perplexities of the situa-
tlOn nn6ar the of fpan trade here
described, the Wilson bill, which recently
passed the house of representatives at
Washington and is now in the hands of
the senate, proposes ostensibly to reduce
the revenues SIG, 900, 900. The real decrease
would eventually, after we became more
and more impoverished, be far greater.
This is at time when the expenses of the
government far exceed it's receipts and
when by reason of such condition
the secretary of the treasury has
been compelled to sell S50000,0OO Of gov
eminent bonds with the belief in many
quarters that this is but the begin
ming of bond issuing to relieve the daily
wants of the government. The sum of
S76,000,000 which it is proposed to surren-
der of the revenues, is more than one-third
of the entire sum received from customs
in the fiscal year. This reduction is made
upon the theory of the Democratic free
traders that it will relieve the people of
burdensome taxation. Whether it does or
not depends. But of one thing we are
certain: 1t has relieved the people of en-
ployment, of work, of wages, of prosperity
and of plenty, and some of them of their
homes The blessings of good wages, good
prices and good times are more to be de-
sired than the proposed relief from so
called "burdensome taxation" Such
relief is no relief.

Various Acts and Resolves.


It would be interesting to the student of
political history to examine the various
acts and resolves of congress touching in
ternal taxes, beginning in 1851 and includ-
ing the years during and shortly after the
war, and to note the position of the leaders
of the Democratic party thereon. [ have

ternal revenue act which was approved by
President Lincoln July 1, 1864. 1t passed
the house April %, the vote being yeas ITO,

As illustrating further the position of
the Democratic party on internal taxes,
the resolution of July 4, 1864, providing
for special war income tax may be cited
This was adopted by the house by the close
vote of SO yeas to 40 nays. Every affirma-
tive vote was cast by a Republican and
every negative vote, except four, by

His Police Crusade.
He Charges Blackmal and Will

Rev. John L. Scudder pastor of the
Tabernacle, Jersey City, called at Police
Headquarters this morning apd informed
Chief Murphy about a gambling house
in the First Precinct in Jersey City,
where, Rev. Mr. Scudder alleges, the
proprietor pays protection money to the
police.
The matter was referred to Inspector
Lange for investigation. and II the pro-
prietor, whose name the police and Rev
Mr.. Scudder refuse to divulge, will make
an affidavit that he pays protection
money the accused police official will be
arraigned before the Police Commission
ers for trial.
Rev. Mr.. Scudder also appeared before
Judge Potts and secured warrant for
the arrest Of a keeper of an alleged dis
orderly house, also located in the First
Precinct. The place will be probably
raided tonight.
When the clergyman preached his SER
mon on Sunday saying vice was rampant
in Jersey City. and especially in the
First Precinct the charges made by Mr.
Scudder were denied by Capt. Farrier.
Capt. Farrier, 1t is alleged, said that
Pastor Scudder had enough to do to
look out for his own congregation. 1t Is
warrant for the disorderly house in Capt.
Farrier's precinct in order to prove that
his charges were absolutely true. This
Is exactly what Rev. DR.. Parkhurst did

NO WONDER BURGLARS FLEO.

Albert Davis, sign painter, of IS

o'clock this morning and told the ser

after rummaging about the premises
had evidently become alarmed and fled.

Mr.. Davis said the burglars were evil
IDENTIFY attracted to his store by the
superstition that he had large sum of
money locked in a large safe which
stands against the wall in the front of
the store. between two windows.
The sergeant Immediately called up
Police Headquarters on the telephone
and reported the case. Two detectives
from the Central Office were detailed to
investigate the matter.
They learned from Davis that the place
was securely locked up at 10 O'Clock last
night When Davis and his assistant. ii
young man named Pyle, reached the
place thls morning they found n kit of
tools scattered about on the floor. The
thieves had entered the place by climb
Ing, over a back fence, and after break
ing a pane Of glass, they unfastened the
latch and entered.
The detectives looked over the prem
Uses and found that the safe bore no
marks of having been tempered with.
They gathered the tools together and
carried them to the station-house.
In the lot were two jimmies, an iron
hammer. covered with plush, used as
q "deadener." small chisel. round
punch and several other implements.
The detectives also learned some addi-
tional facts which were not entered
upon the blotter. and promised to in
vestigate the case.
An Evening World reporter called
at the store this morning and gathered
these facts, which were withheld by the
police: The safe Is five feet high, and Is
constructed of pine WOOD covered with
oilcloth, the real nature of which had
been concealed by several coats Of black
coach paint The combination lock-
was constructed of two door knobs. and
