THERE never was q more clever
dodge or catch phrase conined, than
that of 'sound money" While 1t
means q single gold standard, thous-
ands of poor men who have not had
over $l.5V ct one time in five years,
think the Populist want to make
worthless money. Would that the
scales would fall from their eyes.

convenient, and will answer every purpose
AT less expense.
Mr.. Wiggin of Aroostook said that he
had no personal interest in the matter.
This order was the usual FORM and it had
been the custom for years TO do this, and
il was n convenient method of informing
a large number of people throughout the
State, who are interested in the matter,
of the composition of the various COM
mittees
Mr. Hovey of Somerset also spoke OF
the convenience of having this list pub
lished in the paper
On a vote being taken, Is votes in
the affirmative and none in the negative
No quorum having voted, the president
counted those present but not voting and
declared u quorum present, and the order
was accordingly passed.
On motion of Mr.. Wiggin of ArooStook
the Senate took a recess Of IS minutes
On rcaSscmbling after the recess. the
following memorial was received from the
House, read three times and passed TO
be engrossed, under suspension of the
rules. Memorial relating to the free ship
bill, SO called
The memorial was read first time
Mr.. Spofford of Hancock: 1t is well
known to the members of this Senate
that there is now pending in the national
House of Representatives bill known
as the free shipping bill, which admits to
American registry foreign built vessels.
l need not call the attention of the Senate
to the great industry which has been
built up here in Name, TO which this bill
refers. 1t is an industry which is not
only of paramount Importance to the cit
les and towns upon the coast of Maine,
but one which affects Strongly the whole
material interests of the State. 1t is not
only an industry which has been of the
greatest Importance to our coast towns,
and upon which the very life of the pros
porous city of Bath depends, but it is
one in which the State of Maine has for
years taken great pride, and one which
in time of need furnishes support and con
tributes glory and defence to the national
government. So it seems proper that,
inasmuch rs this bill, il enacted into
law, would strike deadly blow at this
great industry, the people of Maine,
speaking through the unanimous voice
of this Legislature, should enter their
protest, and that that protest should re
ceiye respectful consideration from the
national Congress. l therefore move that
the rules be suspended, and that this
memorial take its second reading at the
present time.
The memorial was accordingly read the
second time, and passed to be cngrossed,
and the secretary was instructed to send
copies Of the same to the speaker of the
National House of Representatives, the
president of the national Senate, and to
the Maine delegation in Congress.
On motion of Mr.. Mitchell of York the
Senate adjourned.

THE INCOME TAX.
Hill Opposes Appropriation for
Its Collection.
Argues That Measure is Unconstitu-
l--Quay's Amendments.
House Passes Bill for Range Lights and Fog
Signals in Kennebec.

Washington, Jan. 10-The Senate con-
sidered the urgent deficiency bill. An
amendment inserting an item of $500, 900
Tor continuing the improvement of the
harbor Of Galveston, Texas, was agreed
TO, with the insertion of the words 'un-
der the existing contract" The bill
having been finished in committee of the
whole, except the items as to the collec-
ton Of the income tax, Hill offered as an
amendment the one of which Quay gave
notice: That nothing in any law to the
contrary shall preclude any court of the
United States having jurisdiction Of
parties, from considering and determin-
ing as to the constitutionality and validity
of the income tax"
Quay referred to section 1924 of the Re-
vised Statutes, which provides that no
suit for the purpose of restraining the as
sessmcnt or collection of taxes shall be
bought in any court.
THAT is for restraining suits to set
aside the assessment or collection Of
taxes, not for testing the constitutionality
of any act" said Mr.. Cockrell. "No
government could permit injunctions to
be granted against the collection of taxes.
Hill said there were several ways to test
the constitutionality of a statute impos-
ing the tax. One would be where the
officers proceeding to made the assess
mcnt or collection, to restrain it before
the tax was collected by suit for n perma.
nent injunction. But for the statute re-
ferred to, any person liable to pay an in
come tax could bring suit for a perma-
nent injunction. Another method was to
wait until the tax was collected and then
bring suit
The easiest test, the simplest method of
raising the question involved in the in
come tax would be by preliminary suit
of injunction, which could be heard i'm
mediately, and if appealed by either side
could be speedily heard and decided by
the supreme court of the United States
The object of the amendment was only to
repeal the section for the purpose of this
particular proceeding. 1t was exceptional
| legislation.
That there was a founded Judgment on
| the part of the best legal talent in this
country that the income tax was uncon-
stitutional in whole or part could not be
| denied. The best lawyers in the land had
expressed their opinion upon it and adj
vised their clients that the tax was to be
| resisted in the great states which We're
to pay it, If this appropriation is to
be made, the amendment simply contem-
plated an abrogation of this particular
income tax, so that any 1itigant liable to
pay it might proceed now, without wait
ing for property to be seized and without
waiting for formal assessment.
PETER moved to lay Hills amendment
on the table, but Cockrell asked PETER to
withdraw his motion PETERS motion
