THE TARIFF ISSUE SETTLED, Says the Philadelphia Z%mes: The Wilson bill, as amended in the senate, has passed both houses of congress, and nothing now remains in the way of an immediate and rapid revival of business and industry. The enemies of tariff reform over- reached themselves at the last. They were determined from the beginning to prevent any revision of the tariff if possible and to preserve the iniquitous McKinley act in force. They tried to do this indirectly. They permitted the new bill to pass the senate with such changes as they felt sure the house would not approve, trusting to defeat the measure at the last on the report of the committee of conference, The decided attitude of the house compelled them to show their hands, and it was made evident by the senate conferees themselves that any tarift bill that must be again submitted to a vote in the senate would be defeated there. The friends of tariff reform promptly grasped the situation when it was thus clearly presented, and in obedience to the almost unanimous de- termination of the Democratic caucus the house yesterday re-called the bill from conference and passed it precise- ly as it came from the senate, thus completing the long deferred tariff leg- islation and baffling the enemies of re- form at their own game. At the same time that this decision was reached it was also determined to introduce and pass immediately sepa- rate supplementary acts putting sugar, coal, iron ore and barbed wire upon the free list. This is done to define and emphasize the record of the house, and with no expectation that these bills will be concurred in by the sen- ate. Free sugar is a theoretical rather than a practical measure, since the revenue from this article is absolutely essential, and the tariff bill as passed turns into the treasury the greater part of the profits which the sugar trust has levied under the McKinley act without giving any return. Free coal and iron ore are more desirable, since the pres- ent tax yields practically no revenue, but the same influences which restor- ed the duty on these articles in the new tariff will prevent the senate's concurrence in their removal by spe- cial act. The passage of these bills, however, will keep the party record straight, and force the responsibility for the defects of the new tariff upon the McKinleyite senators who have kept the business of the country tied up through so many weeks. The tariff, as finally passed, while in many respects it falls short of the ex- pectations of the country, is an enor mous step forward in the direction of reduced taxation, a step that will nev- er be reizaced. From this time the fixed policy of the country will be toward the gradual reduction of im- port duties, and our manufacturers, who will prosper under this new tariff as they have never prospered before, will not again seek the restoration of the exorbitant taxes which have de- moralized so many of our industries, The new bill gives ample protection to all our manufacturers, and to some of them, as notably the wollen manu- facturers of Philadelphia, it will open up the markets of the world for the free purchase of the materials they need and for the sale of their surplus products, In five years’ time they ought, under the tariff, to manufact ure all the woolens used in this coun- try or in this hemisphere. And what is true of woolens is true of almost every branch of American manufact- urers. No further general revision of the tariff will be called for now, and no important changes of any kind need be useiel pated for years to come. So as i and meanwhile has exhausted all the surplus stock thrown upon the market through the operation of the McKin- ley act, is ready for the resumption of trade on a sounder basis than has ex- isted during this generation, There is every reason to expect that the resumption will be immediate and rapid. There will be no great boom, but there will be, what is better, a steady growth of industry and pros perous business activity, that cannot be hindered by partisan agitation. The tariff issue is settled, and the word now is—Forward. nm ————— A ——————— THE new tariff is not quite enough of the good thing to suit Democratic demands, but it has vastly more of the good thing than suits the Republicans, who are howling over it, and try to twist it into something which it is not. The good effects of the new tar- iff are already noticeable upon the bus- iness interests of the country. TEE lowest moral crime is that of ingratitude. Akin to it is that of try- ing to injure the character and busi- ness of a neighbor out of mere jealousy, because that neighbor is prospering and proving to be useful in his com- munity. Persons of such depraved disposition are invariably found to be workers of evil in many ways, and sel- dom have anything laudable in view. ABOUT THE TARIFF. Betore the close of the present week the new tariff bill will become a law, either by the formal approval of the President or by lapse of time. The bill will not be vetoed by the president, and it may therefore now be accepted in all business circles as practically the Times. There will be no modification of the sion of Congress. putting those articles on the free list. present session of Congress. Between ed for revenue, and those who want in the sugar tax in the Senate. The House would doubtless concur jin Senate amendment taxing sugar forty but the Senate will not make any such of additional legislation on any these subjects may be dismissed. The next session will have precisely the same Senate and the same House, and differences which obtain now will be certain to continue. The policy of the government is not only settled that there will be no change in the details of the present bill during the existing Congress, — lnm THE protectionists are not plessed with the new tariff bill. Who thought they would be? Past elections prove that the people were not at all pleased with the McKinley tariff. MANY of the woolen manufacturers say that free wool, under the new tar- paid by corporations, As to corporations, charitable, relig- ious and educational corporations are exempted, as are states counties and municipalities, building and loan asso- ciations, saving banks having no stock- holders, receiving no more than $1,000 in a year from any one depositor, and dividing all the yearly profits among the depositors except a contribution to a ten per cent. surplus. Mutual com- panies, including insurance companies, are all exempt, ce A ESB GEN. BEAVER is spoken of for Unit- ed States Senator to succeed Cameron, We always favor anything that is an improvement.

Continuous prosperity be- | gets extravagance, Occasional adver- | sity stimulates virtue. It appears from a late summary statement issued { from the Bureau of Statistics that dur- | ing the past year we have imported { $211,405,771 less merchandise, and have | managed to export $44,478,358 in ex- cess of the heavy exports of the pre | ceding year. The total excess of our { exports over our imports for the year ended June 30, 1884, was $278,842.05]. The hard times have not prevented us from an enormous liquidation of for- eign indebtedness, Strikes and shrinkage of | have cut down iron production for the year about 40 per cent. as compared with the previous year. Bank ex- | changes have been reduced 30 per cent. Speculation has withered. has been adjusted to lessened demand. | But the general solidity of business business panic. We have bought $25419,769 less of jewelry, silks and wines; $3,000,- 000 less of fars: $5,000,000 less of fruits and nuts; $3,500,000 less of tobacco; §3,- 000,000 less of china and earthenware. There has also been a decrease of $33 - woolens, All this goes to show that there has | been a great saving effected in the con- sumption of luxuries, The delay in the passage of a Tariff act, while it has largely diminished active business, has led to the close consumption of stocks on hand. We have been wearing out i our old clothes instead of buying new ones, Sach economies have induced a conservation of force. When busi- ness shall start ‘again it likely to start with a sudden momentum which | will surprise the prophets of disaster. People are never ruined by what they { have failed to spend.—Philadelphia Record, ia THE passage of the Wilson-Gorman bill has required only eight months, while it took an undoubted Republi- | ean majority ten months to pass the McKinley bill. The Democrats are to be credited with a gain of two months in expeditiousness, with the manufacturers of woolen fab- rics in other lands. THE INCOME TAX. The income tax provision in the tariff bill begins to operate in January 1, 1895, and continues until January 1, 1900. The tax (two per cent) is to be levied on all income above $4,000, It is to be paid not only by all who reside within the country, on income derived United States residing abroad, and by come derived from property situated carried on here. The tax is on the in- come of the year previous to that for which It is levied. Therefore, the first tax will be levied on incomes received in 1804. There are two classes of incomes re- cognized by the bill—-the incomes of individuals and the incomes of corpor- ations. The taxable income of a cor poration is all its income above its op- erating expenses, including the sums paid to shareholders. The tax of two per cent. is paid by the corporation, Therefore that part of an individual's income which is derived from divi dends on the shares of a corporation that has paid the tax is deducted, on his return, from his own taxable in- come. There are exemptions allowed by the bill in computing an individual's in- come besides the $4,000. They are as follows: The necessary expenses of conducting a business, all interest paid or due within the year, local taxes, losses in trade or from fires, storms or shipwreck, not compensated for by in- surance or otherwise; worthless TE Democratic county ticket is made up of excellent material, and de | serves to be elected by an old-fashion- { ed majority. We have been fortunate | In this county, for a number of years | past, in getting good men upon the lo- | eal ticket, which accounts for the af- | fairs of the county being in such | a healthy condition. Efficiency and | economy have been the rule. The peo- | ple have been well served, and the tax- | payer has felt the best kind of house | keeping in our county affairs. nu A Ss AAA Dox CAMERON is being boomed in some quarters for President. Many Republicans-—conspicuous among them the Philadelphia Press—swear Don is not a Republican. On the sil- ver question he was with the Popu- lists. By all means nominate Don, it would be the first time a Cameron would come before the people for an office on a direct vote. No Cameron ever was elected to office by a vote of the people. wo AA en Business stagnation in this country began long before the close of the Har- rison administration and during full sway of a high protective tariff’ policy. Cleveland's administration had noth- ing whatever to do with the business gloom. The Democrats are coming up to their pledges—they repealed the Sherman silver act, have reduced the monopoly tarift, began cutting down offices and reduced expenditures What more can be asked? Millions have been saved by the Democratic policy of economy, and the good work is to be carried on. Elect Col. Bingerly Governor, and show that Pennsylvania means to stand by wholesome Reform. Tue passage of the tariff bill had the effect of improving business gener. ally throughout the country. A peri- od of prosperity is predicted by know- ing ones, and it seems to have begun already. This is cheering informa. tion; stagnation has run its course, and better times are to follow gradually ; all will feel the good effects, Business depression, however, was not confined to the United States. In Europe there is a dullness that was as gloomy as the depression in.this country. The new tariff’ is lower than any heretofore en- acted, and a high tariff will not again be inflicted upon the American people. If the Democratic party remains in power, the tariff’ will be lowered far- ther, and the free list enlarged. mr ——— G A. BR NATIONAL ENCAMPMENT. To be Held at Pittsburg.~Hall Rates via P. R. BR.
