THE NEW TARIFF BILL

After months of consideration, the tarin revision bill constructed by the Republican members of the Ways and Means committee and in which con- struction the Democratic members were allowed no share whatever, is before the House. It is in some res pects a revision downward; in others, upward. As President Taft had said that no revision would be better than dishonest one, the committee has probably given more attention to the interests of consumers than it would Sotherwise have done. It was fairly evident that bill which didn't re wise other than. upward, would have been considered by the President as a repudiation of the tariff plank of the Republican platform, and would be met by veto. Thus, the Republican majority practically worked under species of moral coercion.
 Bituminous coal iron ore. wood pulp ana hides go upon the free list, as also do certain amounts of Philippine. su- gar and tobacco. There are reduc- lions in iron and steel products. lum- Der and leather. A tax of cents pound on tea, with an additional cent if paehaged in other than the country of production which hits the. Lipton and some other teas; a reduction of one-half mill on refined sugar which is too small to affect retail prices; re- auctions in newspaper duties, and on tin plate, steel rails, shoes, carpet wool, linotype machines, newspaper presses, sewing machines, typewriters. etc. most of these reductions being of the Compensatory type; no tax on cof-. fee, nor increases of the taxes on beer and whisky, nor of the duties on cloth ing wools increases on perfumeries, dressed furs, lemons, pineapples. etc; imposition Of an inheritance tax-such are the principal features of the bill.
 1t may pass the House without ma terial change. The Senate habitually changes tariff bills until they lose sometimes all resemblance ito their original form, and may do so in this instance. But the veto threat holds over the Senate as over the House.

vised. The property levied upon has already paid it's regular town tax, and the estate pays the same tax if not finally distributed before the assess 'ment date; then comes the State or Federal inheritance tax. which there fore means double taxation if there is but such tax. and triple taxa ton if both State and Federal gov ernments insist on plucking the estate. There is not even a chemical trace of right in such taxation; it is simply an arbitrary exercise of power, adopt ed solely because of the ease of collec- tion.
 If any inheritance tax is to be col lected, it should be a State and not a Federal source of revenue. And if imposition of such tax, the State should so amend it's inheritance law as to ex- empt estates from town taxation dur ing the year of settlement.
 States which now tax inheritances, will probably antagonize this Federal proposition. Referring to it, the N. Y. Sun says, as the Farmer has on sun dry occasions:
 One evil device for revenue in this bill should be struck out and will be struck out if Congress has any feeling of State pride, if not of State rights. The tax on inheritances. direct and col lateral, should be reserved to the States.

TOBACCO GROWERS ALARMED

The tariff revision bill provides for free trade with the Philippines on all products of the islands, but limiting the tobacco to be imported free of duty to 300, 600 pounds of wrapper tobacco, 3, 600 900 pounds of filler tobacco and I6O, ,000, 900 cigars in any one fiscal year. Free trade with the islands has long been favored by President Taft and,, if we lightly remember, by Congressman Hfn. but the Connnecticut tobacco growers have steadily opposed it, and the provision above cited is evidently . compromise. The growers are hos tile to the compromise; they consider 1t an entering wedge for full free trade. In an interview with Courant report CT, Wednesday, Owen E. Case of Bark hamsted, one of the directors of the New England Tobacco Growers As sociation, said:
 @sIn my opinion there won't be any part of the country so much affected as the Connecticut Valley district and largely grown. The import duty on wrapper tobacco is st.S5. per pound and we can compete with the foreign to- baccog with the duty on. 2' The great est tobacco growers in the world are tobacco growing interests in the isl- ands of Sumatra, Java and Borneo. With their powerful organizations, be- ing in a location near the Philippines, where the climate and soil are so sim liar to that of the Philippines, it would be simple matter to take their super sntendents to the Philippines and with their cheap labor increase the acreage to such ain extent that this country would be flooded with all kinds of Philippine tobacco and cigars. To one who has never smoked Philippine ci- gars they have a, peculiar taste, but not unpleasant, and when .one is ac- customed to them and has acquired the taste nothing else will satisfy him.
 wholesale tobacco merchant of Hartford added another point:
 Think of the immense territory the Philippines cover. It will be impossi- bIe for the United States government to police the islands, and who can pre- vent the Sumatra wrapper tobacco from being smuggled into the Philip pines and then loaded onto this country free of duty, when even now they are freuuent1y caught smuggling it into the United States. The geography Of the islands is such as to make this comparatively an easy matter.
 It does not appear from these state ments that the growers fear particu- Jarly such competition as would re- cult from Philippine importations as limited in the pending bill. They be- iieve the limitation to be an, entering wedge for full free trade in tobacco, and such it may prove to be.

HAST STEAMBOAT ON THE SOUND

Apropos of the coming Fulton-Hud- son celebration is a communication in tho Republican Farmer of March Is. 1S15, signed Fair Play" and addressed to the Owners of Packets and Stages A steamer had been built "by the citi- zens of New York to run between New Haven and New York. "Fair P1ay'' calls attention to the fact that the steamer could carry more pas sengers, treat them better and make the passage in hours which was much less than the distance c1uld be made by sailing-pack or by stage. The fare would also be much less than the owners of packets or stages could af- ford. The communication expresses .the fear that the steamer would drive out other competition, and that soon there would be several in operation. This would throw all those employed on the stage lines and packets out of work and drive to find some 'new way to earn their bread.''b Fair Play says: I cannot sit by quietly and see so much mischief done. unless I clearly see. that it is. on he whole. right"
 But this is not all, nor even the worst part of the story. The Legisla- ture of New York have seen fit, in their wisdom to grant to the late Rob- ert R. Livingston. and the late Robert Fulton. and their heirs and assigns. the exclusive privilege of nav gating the rivers, harbors and bays of New York. by steamboats. For what req son? Because they or either of them invented steamboalS? Lattery they have not had the hard hood even to pretend it. No. It is because they set up one on the North River a few years ago. and got it a going"
 Fair Play does not deny that the public will be Accommodated by a shorter. surer. safer. and cheaper con- veyance to and from New York; but he does object to the monopoly given to theassigns of Fulton and Liv ngston by the state of New York. He con- cludes his arguments with: Were Fulton's privilege really founded upon the right of invention. I had held my peace. As the case is, his representa- tives have no claims which any oth er citizen may not urge with equal force
 But what is the remedy? It is this Let the owners of packets in every harbor on our coast, and all the stage towns. and open mutual correspond enoe- Let them prepare petitions for the next Legislature. requesting that body to pass a law. forbidding, under a severe penalty. the citizens of any state from sailing a steam boat in the waters of Connecticut unless the cit.- zens of Connecticut. are allowed the same privilege in the waters of that state. Depend upon it. gentlemen, your Legislature will not sit tamely by. and see you suffering from this lature of New York. without helping you" .s~-
 This is only one of the obstacles placed in the way of the early steam boat man., Innovations are always op- posed by those whose private interests are injured even if the welfare of the whole world is enhanced.
