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,

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.

As to corporations, charitable, relig-
ious and educational corporations are

ciations, saving banks having no stock-
holders, receiving no more than $1,000

a ten per cent. surplus. Mutual com-

HARD TIMES FIGURES:
Hard times have their advantages,
It is well enough once in a while for
nations as well as individuals to slow
down in the rate of expenditure, and
be combelled to endure a season of
economy. 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.

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.

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.
