FAILED TO DEFEAT THE INCOME TAX.
The Senate Evidently Committed Firmly
to This Feature of tile Tariff siiI--Hill
Will Try 4-ain aud Again,


to This Feature of tile Tariff BiiI--HiiI
wan Try A1ain and Again.
WAsnINGGoN, June 2S.-The vote by
which Senator Hills proposition to
strike the income tax from the Tariff
bill was defeated in the Senate to-day
showed that this feature of the measure
is stronger in the Senate than any
other. Six Republicans, all from the
West, and the Populists Joined the ma
jority of the Democrats in voting for
the tax. The vote was larger than any
other yet recorded in favor of the bill.
Three Democrats, Senators Hill, Muir
ply and Smith, voted against the tax.
Senator Mcpherson was paired against
it, Senator German was paired in its
favor, as was also Senator Gray.
The discussion which led to the final
disposition of the income tax, so far as
the committee of the whole is concerned,
was brief but spirited. Senator Hill
again denounced the whole method of
taxation proposed by the income tax
provisions. The Republicans took little
part in the debate, but by suggestions
and arttully framed inquiries aided Mr..
Hill in calling attention to the objection
able features Of the tax.
The majority of the Democrats, the
Populists and the Western Republicans
have already placed themselves upon
record as favoring the tax, and addi.
tional votes in the Senate are not likely
to change the attitude of one of them.
In view of this fact, it is claimed by the
Democratic managers that Mr.. Hill will
but delay the final passage Of the bill
without accomplishing any of the re-
suits he desires, and without strengthen
ing his own position.
Further efforts in opposition to the
income tax, as shown by the vote to-
day, are absolutely useless, and may
create harm by suggesting to the Re.
publican opponents Of the whole tariff
measure an extension of the debate.
Such considerations, however, have
little effect upon the New York Senator.
He has cndeaVored ever since the tariff
debate began to place himself upon
record as upholding the principles
enunciated in the Chicago platform. He
has opposed his party in the Senate at
nearly every stage of the discussion,
and has done this in manner that in
dictated, if appearances are not mislead-
ing, that he cared more for the personal
reputation that he was earning than for
the welfare of the party or the character
Of the Tariff bill.
