Eighteen hundred and ninety-four
starts off its fire record quite vigor-
ously. The destruction of the Globe
theatre at Boston, with the loss of a
quarter Of a million, is altogether too
fierce a beginning. Ninety-three's

hoped it will not be duplicated this
year.

The income tax has been heard
from in definite form at last. The
tariff reformers at Washington now
insist that incomes above four thou
sand dollars shall be taxed two per
cent, as matter Of sheer necessity
to help out on the threatened deficit.
The passage of a measure like this
would tend to sudden and rem ark-
able increase in the number of wealthy
individuals whose incomes do not
reach above four thousand dollars.
Whiskey and playing cards are also
to figure prominently in this effort to
make both ends meet
Protests against the passage of the
Wilson tariff bill are pouring in from
all directions Manufacturers and
workingmen in many parts of the
country have discovered that the bill

tests and appeals.

Los ANGELES, Dec. %,
Yesterdays clearing house business broke
the record for,this city. The EXCHANGES amount
ed to $743.60270; balances, $5s2,37124
Thee are the largest figures for single days
business since the local clearing house was es-
tab.ished The enormous increase over the
usual daily bu iness is due principally to the
clearing OF the tax collectors check for about
S430,000. Aside from this, the clearings were
heavier than. IL sual. 1t was similar transac-
tiOn last December, but earlier in the month,
that caused the earances OF week before last
TO show decrease OF over 80 per cent com
pared with the corresponding week OF '93. No
doubt the clearances this week will show an
enormous increase over the correspondents week
OF last year. The increase last week was oo.A
per cent on very light volume OF business.
There were no stock or bond transactions OF
any consequence yesterday. Business as n rule,
with the exception of sucn as p-rtalned directly
