TEM' TONNAGE TAX. leer UM 'Deny Pittsburgh Casette.] The perseverance of the Pennsylvania It. R. Co. to applying for the repeal of this tax seems at length about to be crowned with succese. Pitts burgh, hitherto so persistent let her opposition to the repeal, appears now disposed to gitte way, cif we are to judge from the Report of bet Board led Trade just *published, and which recommends that reclaim: se should cease and aid be afforded, provided certain conditions are Inserted in the .repealing act for the protection of this city ' against future discriminations against her trade. The Board have, we presume, guarded the in , tercet/ of tbe!city in this respect as well as was practicable, end if the provisions they have sag rested really torrect the discrimination and are embodied in the act relieving the Company of the tax, and afterwards carried faithfully into dia. Pittsburgh , may be the gainer thereby. The bill le however open to animad version on : other grounds, and it would not be difficult to show that it amounts to noth ing more then giving to the Company the $700,- 000 of manage tax arrears, which they how owe the State, lobe loaned by the Company to certain Rode, elf of which at. d.rectly tributary to tits Penneylviinia Railroad. lint if this food is to be distributed among the Railroads of the Stale, why @snook* be as welt portioned out by the State betide! Are there not other roads which wad Va tote remembered in thet_apportlonment - and to get:their fair shire of the bounty of the Commonwmilth, of which they have homer, as yet, received a dollar, roade, too, in which Pitts'. burgh is touch more concerned than tboee which the Penna. it It Company has iodinated as the . objects of its favor? Why are the Pittsburgh St ConnelliMille and the Allegheny Valley roads wholly ignored and left out of toe list ? The .report of the Board of Trade, made. just three years ago,', after a long and ebb argument, *gained toe repeal c9the Tonnage Tax, and demonstrating how excessive and injurious were the discriiiinations of the Company easiest Pitteborgbj concluded with these words in hal -1 ice: a•Nothine short of the completion of the Coneareale or Allegh.my roads or the direct in terference . of _the Legislature, will effort !Marmon," that is,' protection against overcharges and dis• crimination which the resent action of the Board of Trade has, iris hoped. effected.

But if the fund Is parcelled but among the many roads named in the bill, i 4 will afford no appreciable usistauce tony of them, especially as they are required to ti , o so Minch beforehand which they are so ta -411 .. without the means of doing, (het the words of promise to their ears, which this bill offers, will be broken to their hopes. It is at all event. clear that the elate will gain nothing 14 this proposed disposition ol the &rearm of the tan dee her, of which she could make a much chore judicioue implication than to fritter so re ' apectahle a earn away, is the manner proposed by the bill. So mach for the inducements to the-Stole to re lease theme arrears. Now as to their motives pie s dby this bill to the Commonwealth to repeat. I the tan. .

The operation al this Sinking Fend is iliews Is detail in the Eleventh Mooed Report cit the company, published in February 1658, where it will be seen that in 1890, the Prin cipe, of ,'the Bonds will be reduced to $3,300,000,and in 1694 will be entirely paid 'alt. Now the present CBI promisee, instead of thia,to pay $230,- 000 erratimnneally, or $460000 annually, indeed eJ sloll,ooolof the principal and the interest upon the debt thueannually reduced. An cagy calcolatioo, which may be made upon the marginof the page is the printed report, on which the statement appears, (pages, to and 19, of the Rleveatia Annual Report 101 the Poona. It. R.

New this would look like a handsome advance, on the part ,lice,' the company, to the state. We an +ice,' hews's:, that, the bill provides that, on its 31eCof .1017, 1890, the Company:lC.lot/ pay into the Treasmy the bolenee thee impoid for the prieei. pot and interest of maid Donde." That bahumora cording to the present mode of payment, of $lOO,OOO per annum, and totaled,' would oh that day be $4,200,000, which the company are now hound .to pay, with seat eing interest, at the rate of $1,000,000 a yeer,-Whieb would wipe it out on July 31st, 1804. Burtheinew proposed arrangement Caving produeed $2,125,600 on July 31, 1890, more than the prevent one, Ma balance would ha reduced, on that day, to $2,075,000, which the company Is; to pay off at mire, instead of haring four yeses mine in' which to liqui date it.
