THE WILSON TARIFF BILL.
Only One Amendment to 1t
Yesterday.
The Mckinley Reciprocity Law
Repealed.
New York Democrats Kick Against
the Income Tax.
The Matter Referred to the Democratic
Caucus Which Decides to Mako
Income Tax Part OF the
Wilson Bill.


BY the Associated Press
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-Only one
amendment to the tariff bill of import
ance was adopted by the house today,
that repeating the reciprocity clause OF
the Mckinley law. The entire day was
consumed by the New York Democrats
filibustering sgainet the income tax pro-
position, which, it is feared, will be
offered along with other features of the
internal revenue bill ae an amendment
to the Wilson bill. Several Democratic
speeches eeverely criticizing the bill
were delivered.
When the house convened this morn.
ing, and the journal was read, Cochran
of New York made the point OF no
quorum. On roll call the Democrats
opposed to income tax declined to
answer to their names, but quorum
appeared, nevertheless.
The house then went into committee
of the whole on the tariff bill. Wilson
moved to close the debate on amend
ments relative to the free entry of cot
ton machinery. Cochran flibustered,
but the motion prevailed.
Terry's amendment placing agricul
tural implements on the free list WAS
lost. SIS to l05; also Hare's amendment
placing a duty of 35 per cent on such
implements, except against countries
admitting similar articles free, in which
case they shall be free.
The Democratic advocates OF income
tax became go impatient this afternoon
over the course pursued by the New
York members that they concluded that
the best way to settle the question
would be by holding caucus. This
Wilson finally agreed to, and on his
motion the house recessed at 4 80 and
the fight was transferred from the open
house to secret caucus.
At the evening session speeches were
made by Hicks (Rep) of Pennsylva-
mia, Hutchinson (Dem.) OF Texas, Cobb
(Dem1 of Alabama, Goodnight Dem. }
OF Kentucky, Hines (Dem.) OF Penn
sylyania.
At the Democratic caucus 164 mem
bers were present. Fithian of Illinois
introduced resolution, which was
adopted, providing that the internal
revenue bill and income tax bill be
added as an amendment to the Wilson
bill and the time for debate of the tariff
bill be extended three days, final vote
to be taken next Thursday. A substi-
tute offered by Wilson for the separation
of the income tax from the tariff bill
was defeated, 68 to 92. Fithian's reso-
luton carried, 80 to II. Cochran an
nounced that he would not be bound by
the action of the caucus.
At meeting of the New Jersey Demo-
cratic delegation, it was agreed to vote
against the tariff bill ii the income tax
was included. The New York members
estimate that there will be 30 Demo-
cratic votes against the bill with income
tax added.
Sibley, Democratic congressman
from Pennsylvania, has resigned his
seat to take effect February 18th. Criti-
cism of his course on the tariff bill is
said to be the cause.

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 25.-It became
known this afternoon that Governor
Markham had ccmmuted the sentence
of John McNulty from death to i'm
prisonment for life. An Associated
Press representative saw Governor
Markham's private secretary, Higgins,
who with the authorization of the gov

publication:
At Governor Msrkham's request,
Judge Murphy, who passed the sentence
OF death upon McNulty, came to Sacra-
mento. McNulty's lawyer, Carroll
Cook. and the Daughters OF the Good
Shepherd, who have been working in
behalf of the condemned man, had
represented to the governor that Judge
Murphy wac unaltersbly opposed to
commutation. This Judge Murphy en-
phatically denied, saying that he did
not Sign the petition for Communication as
urged, because the petition contained
untruthful and garbled statements
After two hours consultation, during
which Judge Murphy recommended

The biennial election is now but ten
days away and no time is to be lost if
the voters are to be gotten out to the
polls September 4th. We print the tick
ct to-day, with explanations, so that all
voters may study the same at their leis-
ure, and that no Republican votes be
thrown ont because of infOrmality. The
duty to vote for the Republican nomi-
nees is this year emphasized by the hard
times, caused wholly by the threat of
the Democracy to permanently reduce
wages, and the passage of the Infamous
Bill of Sale Tariff, that tonight Aug.
23d), is awaiting the pleasure of the
President to supersede the Mckinley
law. Under the latter times were good,
by the mere threat of the enactment of
the former millions are out of work and
those employed are earning reduced pay
Think of these things, freemen, and vote
as you think; the Republican ticket is a
protest against the ruin that stares you
IN the face.
The Republican State Committee are
making thorough canvass and write
that if the voters who declare in favor of
Woodbury. and Mansur, are at the polls
a week from Tuesday, the canyass shows
there ought to be 30, 900 majority rolled
up to confOund the enemy. Shall it be
done?

see to it that Republican is sent to
Montpelier from every town this fall.
There is no sense in the "best man. rea-
sOning. The best man to repl esent

"a BOUNTY ON PERJURY AND
FRAUD"

The Encyclopaedia of Political Science"
contains an exhaustive article on SIN
come Tax by Worthington G. Ford. In
the course of his discussion of the sub
ject Mr.. Ford says:
A tax upon income has many quail
ties which recommend it to the econo-
mist. But such tax can exist
only in theory, and when an attempt is
made to put it in practice it becomes one
of the most unequal taxes that can be
imposed, the difficulties being almost
wholly in the assessment The
first difficulty lies in the determining of
what is the income to be taxed. Either
the personal statement of the taxpayer
of tile income he enjoys must be depend
ed on or there must be body of trained
officials for determining the income of
each contributor; or the two methods
must be combined. The weakness of
depending upon the statement of the
taxpayer is at once apparent, and unless
there is an open and honest declaration
on the part of the individual, the tax
either becomes nugatory, or arbitrary
and oppressive. The interest of the tax
payer will induce him to evade his share
of the burden by concealing part oflor
undertaking his true income, and the
higher the rate of the tax the greater is

HOW TO DO IL,

As is usual in an off year, the State
election will be a quiet one, with only a
slight attempt at orarorical, brass band
and tin horn demonstrations. tits time,
however, for the Republican Town Com
mittees to begin work and keep it up un-
til after the election, September 4th. 1t
is particularly desirable that the Repub-
lican party roll up more than an ordi-
nary "Otf year, majority. In Col. Wood
bury, the Republicans have a candidate
of whom they may expect much as gov
ernor Every inch a self-made man, a
gentleman who has studied the needs of
the State and may be relied upon to give
the same administrative qualities which
has characterized one of the most sue
cessful business careers of the State, the
Republicans owe it to him as well as TO
their party to see that the majority is a
big one. National leaders, preparing for
another campaign so soon to be inaugu-
rated to sweep the Democratic party
from power, look to Vermont for en-
couragement. OF all years, they deserve
that encouragement this year. The
work this year can best be done by town
committees in seeing that every person
who will vote the Republican ticket is
awake, active and at the polls Septem-

the inducement offered to evasion.
Moreover, while the conscientious tax
payer makes full and honest return of
his income, the dishonest one will seek
to escape his burden, and in this way the
tax will be an unequal tax. For this
reason the tax has been called "a tax up
on honesty and a bounty on perjury and
fraud"
The objections to the income tax on
the ground that 1t necessitates an army
of government employees, who are prac-
tically inquisitors of the most offensive
sort, while it directly fosters perjury and
deceit, have never been more clearly,
concisely or forcibly stated. And who is
Worthlngton c. Ford? He is a Demo-
crat, chief of the bureau of statistics in
the treasury department at Washington,
and therefore prominent official under
an administration which will have to en-
force this "tax upon honesty" and deal
with this "bounty on perjury and fraud"

The Time Near At Hand.

On the first Tuesday in September,
Vermont will pass judgment on the first
half of Mr.. Cleveland's second term. In
1886 the Republican majority was 20, 700.
What shall the majority be in 1894? The
degree of Vermont's emphasis of her
condemnation of the disastrous results
of Mr.. Cleveland's second administration
will be measured by the thousands she
adds to her customary off-year majority.
For many acts besides the eliminating
atrocity'' of his administration-hi war
upon the destruction of American in
dustry-Grover Cleyeland and his party
are sternly condemned by the people of
Vermont. The time is near at hand for
the expression of that condemnation at
the polls. Prepare for it and improve it,
