WILL SWAMP DEMOCRACY.
Probable Effect Of the New Tariff Bill


and Income Tax.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-Now that it
seems almost certain that the income taxes
will be a feature of the Wilson tariff bill
when that measure becomes law, politicians
in Congress are speculating the political
effect they will have in the next president
ial contest. The law will then have been
just long enough in operation to be most
rigorous in its effects. The machinery will
not have been long enough in motion TO
run smoothly. The men who will act as
ferrets i'm locating and collecting income
taxes will be new to the business, necessar-
lily more or less bunglesome, and all of the
most offensive features will be prime.
1t is believed that there will be a great
deal of mugwumpery in the campaign or
1896; that all who oppose income taxes and
free trade will join the Republicans. In or
der to bring about the repeal of the tariff
law. This is why the Republicans have
worked and voted all along to keep the
Wilson bill and income taxes together
incentive viii be much greater for repeal
than if but one was upon the statutes
books.
There will doubtless be many confsca-
tions. thousands of pending indictments
and many men in the jails penitentiaries
when the next presidential campaign opens
and the income tax law will be the cause
of it all. The Republicans are feeling pref
ty well, thank you, the outlook for
their next national contest. They not only
count upon sweeping successes in the con-
gressional election next November. but in
the great contest two years thereafter.
They believe that there will be cyclone
next November which will sweep out of
the House of Representatives all of the
securing success for the bin which has
just passed the lower branch of Congress.

ALLOTMENT OF BONDS.
Circular from Carlisle That Is of In
teresf fO Suhscrihers.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3. - Secretary Car
Isle has authorized the following statement
regarding the allotment of the bonds:
'"rhe Secretary of the Treasury has con-
sidered the proposals submitted for the new
5-per-cent. loan and has accepted all bids
naming a higher price than HEB. The
proposals submitted at the upset price have
been scaled down 5.33l per cent. ana the
amount of bonds allotted under TINS reduc-
cepted in fun il 5000 900. 4 notice viii
be sent TO each subscriber advising him OF
acceptance of his subscription, informing
him when the bonds will be ready and stat
ing the amount to be deposited in payment
of principal and premium. The accrued in.
terest to the date of deposit at the rate or
interest realized by the subscriber will be
added by the assistant treasurer with
whom the deposit is TO be made. The bonds
will be delivered by the department after
payment is made to the address given by
the subscriber, or they may be sent TO
the assistant treasurer with whom the
deposit Is made"
In view of criticisms which have been
made of Representative Bailey's anti-bond
resolution, based on the unofficial statement
of the divided Democratic opinion IN the
House judiciary committee the members
have concluded to give the vote or Demo
Gratis on the committee heretofore witnheld.
The Democrats favorable TO it were Repre-
sentatives Bailey, Lane, Terry, Dearmond
and Goodnight. Those opposed were Repre-
sentatiyes Layton WoHert6n f5ne ana nrocpef
favorable to the resolution Chairman Cul-
berson would have voted for 1t had his vote
been necessary.
Treasury officials express the belief and
hope that the larger part of the subscrip-
tions to the bonds will be paid for in gold,
this feeling being based on the large
amounts already reported having been
deposited in the subtreasury at New York
i'm anticipation Of the delivery or the bonds.
The statement of the gold balance issued
to-day shows an increase of but So, ,0O0.O 900
in round numbers, so that the fun reports
of their deposits thus far have not reached

ance shows a decline Of nearly 100000 and
is accounted for partly by the issue OF
conditional receipts received for gold de-
posits and partly by the fact that the ex-
penditures have been million dollars more
than the receipts thus far this month.
1t was stated at the Treasury Department
this afternoon that Secretary Carlisle
would, on Monday, send to the Senate a
for the names of the bidders for the bonds.

CHICAGO, Feb. 2.-The Coughlin case
opened to-day with John p Kunze on the

HEIRS MADE HAPPY.
The Suit Against the Kittson Estate
Dismissed by the Court.

ST PAUL. Feb. 3.-The suit against the
Kittson estate for half of an alleged dover
interest OF Mrs. Crevier in the more than
three millions left by Commodore Ki:tson
was dismissed this morning for lack of
proof. in the Probate Court. The suit was
based on a contract between the two law
yers and Mrs. Crevier, which was based on
a claim that Mrs. Crevier was the first wife
OF Mr.. KittSon. The testimony of Mrs Gre
viers brother and son. of the priest who
married ner to Mr.. Crevier and others was
all against the claim. Mrs Crveier's brother
and son testified that she had never claimed

that the contract was signed through q mis-
understanding as TO its meaning. This suit

WORRYING CARLISLE.
Distillers and Anti-BOnd Men Making
John Grifin's Life "a burden.

SOnh Lie ~ hucHen.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-John Griffin Car
Isle, of Kentucky Secretary of the Treas
ury, is going to suffer more by the adoption
of the Wilson tariff bill and the new issue
of bonds than anybody else. The whisky
men are roundy denouncing FIr. Carlisle
for the fiasco in the House when an effort
was made TO secure for them an extension
of the bonded period from three to eight
years. When Mr.. Carlisle in his report to
Congress recommended that there should be
an increase of tax on whisky and the goods
in bond should bear the increase, the
whisky men howled with rage. They de-
cared that It was unlawful and unjust
for the government TO break it's contract;
Jhat when whisky was placed in bond
solemn contract, backed UP by security, was
entered into by the owner to the effect that
within three years he would pay 80 cents
per gallon for the whisky bonded. The
whisky men expected their special cham
pion to stand by them. Very little benefit
would accrue to whisky owners outside of
Kentucky by an extension of the bonded
period, because nearly all of the bourbon
whisky is made in that State, and that
grade of whisky, more than any other, Is
required to ripen by age and mature with
The Secretary of the Treasury undoubt-
edly had in mind some compensation
to the government in granting the extension
sion without making the goods i'm bond pay
increase of tax would be to clearly give
to the whisky men everything. The House
stuck to the Secretarys recommendation
of increase of tax and the proposition
10 make bonded whisky pay the increase
but IL refused to give any extension OF the
bonded period. Now the whiskysmen will
be compelled to carry the worst end of the
bargain. They get nothing in return for
the increase of the tax which they must
pay. and for having to pay the increase
upon the goods which Is held under solemn
contract in bond 10 pay the tax fixed by
the present law.
Almost every person in the country op-
posed 10 any increase OF the interest-bear
ing debt of the United States is sending
his or her protest TO Washington In opposi-
tion to the new issue of bonds, and i'm doing
so is holding John Griffin Carlisle indi-
vidually responsible for the act which he
has just consummated. With the whisky

While Mr.. Lamb was in the city, the other

Great Strikes and High Tariffs
Go Together.

The Baltimore Sun shows that
the cause of the great discomfort
and frequent strikes of American
labor for the past thirty years can be
traced to no other cause but our dis
astrous protective tariffs. The Sun
adduces from the mercantile statis-
tics of the country the vast number
OF business failures, and it points out
with unanswerable argument the in
separable connection between these
failures and the distress, dissatisfac-
'tion and revolt of labor. It says:
eff the constant stimulation of
higher tariff rates could, as their ad-
vocates claimed, have given business
larger profits and labor larger pay,
the last twenty years must have wit
messed steady decline in the num-
Der alike of business failures and
labor strikes. Instead of that, both
have gone on increasing together
From 1873 to 1882, inclusive, ten
years, 74,978 failures are recorded in
this country. That was unprecedent-
ed, Butin the eight years from 1883
to 1882 the more appalling total of
s2,OOO failures was registered. Their
number rose to very nearly II, 900 in
1890, the year of McKinley's climax
tariff. The next year, protection
having touched the high water mark
of all our history, the list of insol
vents touched high water mark, too,
and 1878 failures were the melan-
choly product of the last and great
est effort to tax the country into
prosperity. And this tale of disaster
was overtopped again in 1893, after
two full years of the highest tariff
ever enacted, by a grand total of
1850 failures, representing liabili-
ties of 1852, 100000"
"This shows" says the New York
Herald, "that the cause of the recent
great strikes was to be traced to
protection Surely partisanship may
well pause and yield to patriotism in
the light of these historical facts
Labor cannot be satisfied where
business is paralyzed. Congress may
now well take to heart the closing
words of the New York Sum-"
manufacturers tied up to home
market that is not equal to the out
put, and agriculture forced to sell it's
products in the cheapest and buy its
supplies in the dearest market,
must both be revived. Larger mar
kets, freer trade and fairer chance
for all is the demand of the hour"
