From Our Regular Correspondent.

rrom Our ttcgular correspondent.
WAsnrSGToN, May 25.-Despite the
claims and confident predictions OF Sena-
tors Cummins, Ia Toilette, Newlands, and
others that provision for an income tax
will be added to the tariff bill, your cor
respondent ventures the prediction that
they are all mistaken and that no such
provision will be made. There will be an
effort to add such a provision in the form
OF an amendment TO the tariff bill, but il
will fail and the amendment will be re-
ierred to the judiciary committee with in
structions to report next winter whether
an income tax law which will stand the
test OF the courts can be drafted. II is
highly improbable, moreover, that the
judiciary committee will ever make any
report pursuant TO that reference.
Some of the Democratic advocates of an
income tax law are complaining that they
are being opposed by President Taft and
that the White House influence is prov
ing effective. That is probably true, for
while Mr.. Taft has said that he is not OPP
posed TO an income tax, he regards il as
last resort and would greatly prefer,
first. tax on inheritances; second, a tax
on the dividends of corporations, and
lastly an income tax, If any tax in addi-
ton to the tariff is necessary to meet the
expenses of the government. The presi.
dent has further signifed his willingness,
TO wait until next December before recon.
mending any of these laws, as by that
time he believes ii will be possible to tel
whether or not the now pending tariff bill
will bring in sufficient revenue.
Ii is somewhat difficult TO understand
| why the Democratic senators do not adj
vocate tax on the dividends Of corpora
tons. Such a tax would meet with tn,
cordial approval of the president anc
| probably with that of nine tenths of tn,
voters. OF course Mr.. Aldrich and tn,
rest OF the Republican organization in tn,
senate would oppose such tax, but it il
very doubtful il the organization coulC
| command sufficient strength to proven
the enactment of the law. BY choosin,
that form of taxation which the presiden
has declared that he favors only as a las
resort the Democrats have, apparently
missed an opportunity to undermine tn,
whole system of protection.
| Senator Aldrich has ingeniously con
fessed that he believes the adoption o
any form OF special taxation will under
mine the protective system, because ono,
the people come to realize the benefits o
direct taxation, with the clear knowledg,
of how much tax each man pays and tn,
close supervision of public expenditure
which that would produce, the peopl,
will insist upon the abandonment OF tn,
tariff system. Under such circumstance
it would seem 60 be the part of wisdom
on the part of the Democrats to aligI
themselves behind that form OF dircc
taxation which would be most possible o
enactment.

Senator Bailey, in an effort to defend
his vote for a duty on iron ore, has as
sailed practically every one who has seen
fit to criticisc him and almost before he
took his seat was proven to have given
false witness by two of his Democratic
colleagues. Bailey attacked Gov. John
son, of Minnesota; "Marse" Henry Wat
terson, of Louisville, and an independent
paper in his own state because they had
criticised his vote for a duty on iron ore
He then declared that the steel trust did
not want a duty on iron ore, whereupon
Senators Rayner and Smith, of Maryland,
both Democrats, arose and declared that
the steel trust did want such duty and
MIR. Smith said he had been approached
by representatives of the steel trust who
urged him to vote for duty on ore.

Some striking effects Of the tariff on the
necessities which the poor man is COM
PEELED to buy are brought TO light through
a controversy between two eastern news
papers which appear 10 have obtained
some confidential figures prepared for the
use of the president by treasury experts.
II is shown that on the suit of clothes
which retails for SO the duty is $4.76, so
that without the tariff the same suit could
be bought for $l0.24. A mans overcoat
now retailing for SO could be bought for
$40. 80 IL there were do tariff. A woman's
cotton dress which now sells for $40 could
be bought for $50 were it not for the
tribute which the consumer is made 10
pay 20 the manufacturers. A tapestry
rug which now sells for Sl5 is worth lust
S0.G4, the extra 1886 being the sum the
consumer is compelled 10 pay to the
American manufacturer for the same rug
which, without tariff, he could buy for
less than $40. Practically everything is
taxed, even salt, which costs cent a
pound more because Of the tariff and
sugar which costs "a cents more pound
because of the protective policy.

FERRYBOAT SHIPS A SEA.
High Wind Raises a Rurnpus on the
Hudson River.

There was wild wind blowing
from the north on the morning of
November GOTH Old Borias took a
quicker on his lips, hitch in his
waistband, and blew, and blew, and
blew! The sea on the Hudson was
rough, and quite like a touch of old
ocean itself. Passengers on the ferry
boat to I3oth street, New York, al
most held their breath while stand
ing in the cabins and looking out.
The waves were monstrous affairs,
something really big, and no small
boat could have lived long in such a
tempestuous blast
The ten o'clock ferry had quite an
experience When about mid-stream
the Edgewater ploughed her nose
under a big wave, and shipped a sea
that went swishing through the
lower cabin Women screamed, and
things looked a mite squeamish for a
bit. But there was no more of this
during the morning.
That was the second time ever
saw ferryboat ship sea" said
Agent Dillon, the well-known real
estate promoter, who happened to be
aboard Once before, several years
ago, there was wind enough to turn
this same trick.

FALLING OVER A TIN BOX.
How a Citizen, en- Route to the Post
Office, Got a Tumble.

The other night when Palisadian
went to the Post Office, about 100
D. m, going down Cumbermede road
he cut across lots through a path that
was visible under the street lamp.
When about opposite house No. I, his
left foot hit something that sounded
like an empty tin box full of thunder
and lightning and the next minute he
went sprawling in nine different direc-
tions. First the tin box, which proved
to be about the size of a packing
trunk, bounded to one side, then came
back and struck the mans right shin
with such force that it denied both can
and shin. Next it careened around on
the bias, and each of the four corners
hit a knee joint. Falling over a wheel
barrow isn't a marker to hitting the
can of dark night When the. citizen
finally picked himself up, he and his
pants were full of holes and loud
Swears. His trousers were ripped
and soiled, and his feelings hurt He
ripped out cuss-words louder than the
buzz OF a trolley car motor He also
pealed off several slices of skin from
the palms of his hands. and also ripped
his coat and busted four buttons from
his vest. To add to his woes, when he
had picked himself up and wobbled
to Palisade avenue, hurting impreca-
tons at Fred Bull for leaving his cid
bath-tub loose around the lot, he met
Misses Alexia Wheeler and Agnes.
Brady face to face who had been to
the Post Office; and when they heard
+ the narrative they laughed fit to kill.
And nobody could blame them. They
had heard the swears
