Great Britain is thinking Of levying
a tariff tax to help meet the growing
expenses Of the South African war.
The expenses there now amount to
more than s7,500oOo week. A large
part of the revenue devoted to carry
ing on the South African war Is raised
by Great Britain by tax on incomes.
Americas revenue is raised by tariff
and stamp taxes-a form Of taxation
that falls chiefly upon the producing
classes and allows incomes like Mr..
Carnegie's, for instance. to 60 untaxed.
In some respects Mr.. Hanna was right
when he said that "the British govern
ment Ia just rs good as ours" At least
the English government has learned
how to apportion tax burden, for the
most part, equitably.

New York Times, Republican,l
Both Senator Plat and Senator Gull
lorn have announced part of the pro-
gramme for the next session of Con-
gress, which will begin two weeks from
today. Both agree that the Ship Sub
sldy bill will be passed.
1t is characteristic of the mere parti-
san Republicans that they can learn lit
tie from the facts under their eyes and
are blind 10 the charges going on
around them. There is absolutely no
popular support for a subsidy bill to
promote the building Of ships for
which the regular and paying CONNER
cial demand exceeds the supply. That
we are not able to turn out OF our
shipyards enough ships TO carry the
foreign trade that Is offered and that
is constantly increasing Is perfectly
true at present. How long this state
OF things will last no ono can say
While It does last, It is not the ship
builders who are embarrassed by II

that the opposition of last year may be
renewed and be strong enough at least
to compel the. postponement Of this
measure until the next Congress
Since the bill was last under discussion
there has developed opposition in 9TH
er quarters than those in which it
was then found. The leaders of the
commercial community in some Sec
tions are awakening to the fact that
not only is the bill unsound in its
general principle, but it is framed for
the special advantage of particular in
terests. The rapid and remarkable
advantage of the export trade has

innate interest of American trade and
industry will be cared for. IL the
demand shall not prove permanent
-and there is necessarily limit to it
there will be no great excess Of pur-
chased ships, and the process will
subside gradually and naturally in
accordance with the rules that govern
all free enterprise. II, on the other
hand, we undertake to provide an
arbitrary subsidy paid from the public
treasury for the building of ships, we
shall inevitably stimulate the pro-
duction without regard to the condi-
tion Of trade, and shall surely overdo
1t. There Is no real advantage that
can be got from subsidies that cannot
be got from free ships, and the latter
policy has the immense superiority
Of not taking cent from the pockets
of the taxpayers at large for the bene.
fit Of relatively small class.
There is another point in connec-
tion with this subsidy scheme that is
worth noting, thought it is only too
certain that the Republican leaders
will pay no attention to it. 1t is the
fact that the subsidy scheme was
pressed in the first session Of the pres,
ent Congress with great energy, and
could have been carried, but the oppo,
sition among the farmers and the labor
unions was so pronounced that 1t was
considered unsafe to load the party
with the measure on the verge of q
Presidential campaign. Now that the
campaign is over and has been wor
on issues having no connection will
the Subsidy bill, the politicians ant
subsidy hunters propose to take ad
vantage Of the victory to defy the lie
gitimate opposition offered last win
ter and to adopt the scheme. Tha
Is not a decent or honorable fashior
to deal with tho people. But ther'
Is nothing in the motives and purposes
Of these schemers that forbids then
so to misuse the power they hav,
acquired.
1t is possible, however, that tn
Senators whom we have quoted ma,

Pennsylvania Company Takes a Step
In the Riqht Direotion.

1t is the intention of the officials of
the Pennsylvania railroad to endeavor
to make the conditions on locomotives
and locomotive cabs more conducive
to the preservation of sight and hear.
ing Of the men, 1t 10 well known
fact that rapidly running an engine Is
very hard on the eyes of the engineer,
and the work of firing requiring man
to keep his eyes riveted on the glar.
ing red-hot furnace is very severe. In
bad weather the engineer cannot see
through the closed windows and as
his train rushes along through the
air at rate of 65 miles an hour he is
pelted by the rain and sleet until his
eyes and face are sore. The rumbling
roar of the machinery, the piercing
scream Of the whistle and the rush of
the air to the ears is also very hard
on these important organs. Good eye
sight and hearing are Indispensable to
the engineer and firemen in the per
formance of their duty. Before the
fireman learns to be a runner his eyes
and ears are liable to become defective
The alarming increase in eye and ear
defects among railroad men has set
the officials to thinking. They realize
that it will be necessary before many
years to have young and experienced
men in charge of the trains, or have
deaf and blind men to do the work.
Recently the company has instructed
r. Parks White, the special oculist aud
aurist, to take frequent trips over the
road, riding in the locomotive cabs to
investigate the causes of defects in
sight and hearing. He will study the
conditions carefully and make such
suggestion as his experience denoted to
be consistent with the nature of the
machinery and the work.
