Hon. A. p. German addressed
the u. s. Senate Monday last on
the effort being made there 70 delay
the collection of the income tax.
lie appealed to the Senate to reject
the pending proposition or any
other That might be offered TO in
teriere' with the collection Of the
tax and argued against comforting
upon owners Of great incomes a lie
gal privilege not enjoyed by mer-
chants and business men. some Of
them on small scale, in Baltimore,
New York aud elsewhere. He con-
tended that the proposition of Sena-
tor Hill and of his associate IN the
matter, MI. Quay, was not only a
gross outrage to the principle of
equality to all citizens. not only an
effort to extepd governmental favor
to certain class, but it was an as
saaIt upon the Treasury. 1t would,
il successful, embarrass the Treas
nry in collecting current revenue
and increase the troubles under
which the financial department now
labOrs.
The Senator reviewed the finan-
.cial condition OF the Treasury and
supported his views bv figures and
estimates from it's officials. Mr..
German spoke of the tariff bill as "a
compromise measure, rs all tariff
bills have been, and his assertion
that the Wilson bill could not have
been put through was corroborated
by Senator Voorhees,. During the
speech, controversy occurred with
Senator Hill and the New Yorker
vigorously defended his course, as
sorting among other things that the
Democratic caucus had ignored the
financial issue and was sharply cor
rected by Senators Pugh and Ran
som.
Mr. Germans speech was mainly
defence of the Senate against as
pensions cast uron it. lie made
clearly apparent the need of finan-
cial legislation but did not propose
any. His speech was temperate
and strong, and it, and the contro-
versy it engendered, will be read
with interest all over the Union.
