Through all the south the relief and

PARTY TRICKSTERS.
SOME EXAMPLES OF REPUBLICAN
CRAFTSMANSHIP.


To make Political Capital They WIN saori-
Gee the country's Interests -Biunders
Tlsat Cost 1rilions-TIypocritic John
sherman.
The Pecksniflian character Of Repub-
lican craftsmanship was forcibiy illus
trated by an incident which occurred
at a recent session Of the United States
senate
John Sherman was critioising Dem
ocratic action on the tariff. He charged
that the new tariff bill contained many
important errors. One Of them is the
clause providing for the free entry Of
alcohol used in the arts This, If not
corrected, Mr.. Sherman declared, would
cost the government annually $50, 000,
600 to $50, 000 600 in the way of loss of
revenue.
aSenator Hoar, +" Mr.. Sherman con-
tinued, who offered the amendment
for free alcohol, had not expected its
adoption. He simply offered it ns a
tentative proposition. " Here is sub
lime example of Republican impudence
The most serious blunder which Mr.
Sherman can discover in the Demo-
cratic tariff bill resulted from adopting
an amendment which was fathered by
one Of the leading Republican senators
and for which doubtless every man on
the Republican side voted. But Mr..
sherman excuses Senator Hoar's con
nection with the blunder by blandly as
serting that be offered the amendment
as "a tentative proposition.
The two conspicuous blunders made
by the Fifty first congress have cost the
country not $40, 600, 600 or $50, o0O, 600,
but thousands of millions Of dollars.
They were the passage Of the Sherman
silver law and the Mckinley tariff.
Their authors were John Sherman and
William Mckinley, both prominent Re-
publican leaders from the state Of Ohio.
In the train Of those blunders have
followed such disaster, ruin and wretch
edness as were never before known in
this country. No doubt il John Sher-
man could be convinced Of the calami-
tous consequences which resulted from
the enactment of those twin measures
of iniauity he would seek to justify Nc
Kinley and himself by declaring that
they were never offered in good faitbi
that they were simply submitted as
tentative propositions. -
AS if to make Mr.. Sherman's hypo'
critical attitude more conspicuous, an
other Republican senator, Mr. Chandler
of New Hampshire, objected to the con-
sideration of bill to cure tho costly
defect in the tariff measure which Mr.
Sherman had pointed out The latter
had no sooner concluded his remarks
than Mr.. Harris called up the amenda-
tory bill. In spite Of Mr.. sherman's
statement that tho error if not corrected
would cost the government $40, 900, 900
to $50, 600, 900 annually, Mr.. Chandler
refused to let tho amendment be con-
sidered.
The objection may have been merely
Tentative, but it sufficed to send the
bill over for another day. Republican
statesmen are always willing to saeri-
fee the interests of the country if they
think they can thereby make political
capital for their own party. They are
tricksters as well as hypocrites. -Chica-

THE INCOME TAXLAW
ITS EXACT TERMS AND WHAT THE
EFFECT WILL BE.

Corporation and Individual TazatiOn De-
fined and Made Exemptions and
Deductions - Amount of Revenue That
VIII Be Realized.
The income tax has been SO beaten
about and amended during its passage
through congress that the public are
naturally at loss to know what its ex-
act terms and effect will be. Its main
features may be briefly stated. On per-
sonal incomes it is a tax of 2 per cent
on all amounts above $4,000. The tax
is to be levied on and after Jan. i,
1895, and is to be payable on or before
the 1st of July, 1895. 1t is to be assess
ed on the income received tin the pre-
oeding calendar year that is, for the
first levy, the calendar year Of 1894. If
the tax is not paid ON or before July /, a
penalty of per cent on the amount un-
paid, with interest at per cent a month,
shall be levied in addition.
The law specifies great many things
that shall be reozoned in in making mp
tho annual income, profits in business,
interest on notes, bonds and other Sc
ourities, money and personal property
acquired by gift or inheritance, salaries,
1t also specifies many deductions that
are TO be made necessary expenses
in carrying on business, interest due OF
paid, state and local taxes, ''losses sus-
tanned, " worthless debts, dividends re-
oeived from corporations which them
selves pay an income tax.
All persons having an income Of
more than %8, 500 year must make re-
turn to the collector The corporation
tax is likewise 3 per cent on net prof
its or income, payable at the same time
and for the same period as the individ'
ual tax. Exemption is made of charita.
bic and religious corporations, savings
banks (under certain limitations), build
ing and loan associations and fraterna.
and mutual insurance associations.
AS in the case of the individual tax
the law goes into many details as tC
what shall be counted in as net profits
and what deductions may be made. Tht
law is to remain in force five years un
less extended, and doubtless within thai
time there will come to be whole Ii
brary of decisions on the disputed point
of the intricate and in many sections
confusing measure We may note final
Iy the estimate Of the chief of the bu
reau Of statistics that the returns from
individual incomes win be small, bare
" covering the cost Of collection, bu
that the revenue derived from corpora
tions may be expected to amount to any
where from $12, 900, 900 to $50, 200, 00I

1t is reported thu the sales Of wool
in the last few weeks at the principal
markets have been 16, LAG, $50 pounds
against 8, 312, 500 pounds last year and
IS, 557, 100 pounds for the same period
This increase in the sale Of wool may
be taken by the farmers as an indication
that better prices must and will prevail
under the free wool tariff. Our woolen
manufacturers will hereafter be able to
manufacture woolens as oheaply, to say
the least, as foreign manufacturers can,
They may heneeforth buy the best
grades Of wool and mix them with our
inferior grades, which will quadruple
the demand for American wool The
Democratic tariff shouIdvery soon give
the American farmer from s to 10 cents
per pound more for his clip than he has
been receiving since December, 1s9S.--

REoucINe lie pENsIoN LIsT.
The Present CommissIoner Is Friendly &
All but the Beats.

Mr.. Cannon makes great ado about
pensions. He claims that the reduction
Of $40, 600, 600 in the appropriation for
pensions next year involved unfriondh-
ness and injustice to soldiers and their
widows and orphans He asserts that
''whatever was saved by President
Cleveland last year twas saved at the
expense of the soldiers of the late war
and Of their widows and orphans by an
unfriendly and unjust administration Of
the pension laws. And he demands to
know chow many more poor widows Of
soldiers of tho late war and how many
worthy veterans must have the small
pensions which they receive taken away
or reduced by an unfriendly administra-
tion."
There is a short answer TO all this cant
and falsehood. The pension charge has
been reduced III two ways; First by
striking from the rolls few Of the
many names that ought never to have
been there and reducing few more to
q proper and lawful rating. The reduc-
tion in this way has been comparatively
small. Second, by the operation Of the
act of 1890, under which first payments
include arrearages, often extending back
over considerable number of years.
The number Of first payments has been
decreasing for some time because most
of the applications have been disposed
of. The decrease in the total charge is
chiefly due to this cause and to lapses OF
pensions bv death and otherwise.
No person who is justly entitled to Q
pension under the laws has been or will
be deprived OF dollar by the IiEesent
administration. The pension laws arc
administered by a Union veteran and
they are administered in a spirit Of
friendliness toward all deserving per
SONS and of unfriendliness only toward
those who are not entitled to pensions
under the laws The present commits
sioner is a friend of the soldier. He il
