THE WILSON REPORT
Tariff Bill as Agreed Upon
By the Democrats.
Not a Radical Measure—Temperate
Reform for the Present is Urged—
Not Purged of all Protection Nor
Free of ull Error.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.—The majority
repoi t of the ways and means committee
on the Wilson tariff bill has been submit
ted to the full committee.
The report says in part: The ma
jority of the committee has decided,
as frie men must always decide, that
the power of taxation has no law
ful or constitutional exercise except
for providing revenue for the support of
government. Every departure from this
principle is a departure from the funda
mental principles of popular institutions
and Inevitably works out a gross inequality
in the citizenship of a country.
Ihe bill on which the committee Ims
expended such patient, and anxious labor
is not offered as a complete response to
the mandate of the American people. Ii
no more professes to bo purged of all pro
tection than to be free of all error in its
complex and manifold details. However
we may deny the existe nee of any legis
lative pledge, or of the right of any con
gress to make such pledge, for the cont u
uauoe of duties that carry with t.hem
more or less acknowledged protection,
we must recognize that grj.-it interests do
exist whose existence and prosperity it is
no part of our reform either t > imperil or
to curtail. We believe aud we have the
warrant of our own past ex l erieuce for
believing,that reduction of duties will not
injure but give more abundant life to all |
our greut manufacturing industries, how- I
ever much they may dread the change. !
In dealiug with the tariff question ns
with every other long-standing abuse that \
LHS interwoven itself with our social or
industrial system, the legislator must
always remember that, in the beginning,
temperate reform is safest having in itself
the principle of growth.
The report reviews at length tho his
tory of tariff legislation in tho United
States, aa.l continues.
Tho Important Changes.
It is neither necessary nor practicable in
this report to specify the particular re
ductions we have made upon the long list
of articles that still remaiu in tho dutiable !
list. The tables which have been pre- ;
pared for use of members of the house
give full and minute information as to
these changes. A few only of the most
important need be here enumerated.
Upon th® largtr sizes of plate glass
whore the duties were even higher we
have made a reduction of about one third.
In tho iron and steel schedule btfgiriuing
with free ore and a duty of 22 1 2 per
cent, on pig iron wo have reported a scale
of duties considerably below those of the
existing law, graduated according to the
degree of manufacture, which should bring
benefit to the consumer without calling
for any halt in the imperial progress of
that groat industry In our country.
As all shippers and especially Ameri
can farmers are vitally interested in
cheapening the cost of transportation,
rates of duty upou steel ra.U should be
adjusted so as to protect them from mo
nopoly prices and monopoly combinations.
Upon triu piate duty baa been gauged with
reference to the revenue it will bring into
the treasury and the dillerenc® between
this duty and that upon the bl tck plate
has been lessened with a view to discour
age what may not uujustly be called the
bogus industry of making American tin
plate by the mere dipping in this country
of imported black plate.
Against Sugar Bounty.
In the sugar schedule wa should have
preferred to wipe out at a single executive
stroke the existing bounty system. We
believe it to be contrary to the spirit of
our institutions and can conceive of no cir
cumstances under which we should have
advocated or approved its iutrodutlon into
our laws. We havo found it existing
there, as we fiud it virtually existing in
every other schedule of the tnrlff, and deal
ing with it in the more open and offensive
forms, as we have dealt with other sched
ules where largs property interests are at
stake, we have reported a provision for its
repeal by such stages as shall gradually
obliterate it from our laws, while permit
ting those who have iuvested means
under the expectation of its coutinuunce,
reasonable time in which they may pre
pare to take their stand with the other in
dustries of the country.
Agricultural Products.
Of the staple agricultural products, in
cluding meats and provisions, we are such
large exporters and must continue to be
such large export.-.i,. .c any duties upon
them are useless for protection and fruit
less for revenue, and generally can only be
imposed for the purpose of deluding the
farmers into the belief that they are re
ceiving ome consideration and benefit
under the tariff, although the prio -s of
their products are fixed in the world's
market in competition with like products
produced by the cheaper labor of thu
world. Recognizing that the American
farmer has been, through many years, the
patient victim of the protective system;
that he has been induoed to support It un
der the delusive promise that by immense
present sacrifices he was buying for himself
a home market which is farther from him
to-day than ever before, we have aimed
to seouure for him such relaxation of bur
gsns as will permit him to enjgy piore of
the fruit* of hit own hard And faithful labor.
lo the farmers of the country WJ hnva
given untaxed agricultural implements
and binding twine. As cotton bagging can
be used but once, we have thought it but
just to extend the drawback system to
such bagging made of jute butts when
used upon our exported co tton.
Spirits.
In the schedule of spirits, wine and other
beverages the changes made are slight and
with the view to production of increased
revenue tax upon the same, while the
duty of fifty cents a gallon on still wines
imported in casks is retained with a pro
viso limiting the highest duty on such
wines to 100 per cent.
Wool.
The placing of wool upon the free list
has justified a very substantial reduction
of the duties on woolen goods. Of the
woolen tariff, It may be said, as was truly
said of the woolen tariff of 1828: "That is
the masterpiece of the ultra-protectionists
and exhibits all the worst features of the
system." Although the imports of 189'J
show an average duty of 95 80 100 per
cent, in the woolen schedule, it cannot be
said that woolen manufacture has been a
flourishing industry in this country, or
that the Ainerioau wool grower has se
cured remunerative prices for his wool.
With free wool we anticipate great bene
fits to the consumer of woolen goods, a
revival of the woolen industry, such as
that which followed the tariff of 1858, and
a steadier and better market for tho
American wool grower. The present tar
iff is not only cruelly exhorbitant, but is
so adjusted us to bear most heavily upon
the poorer people; and recognizing that
the duties which we would place at
present upon competing foreign fabrics
must be somewhat higher thin a perma
nent schedule ought to be, wo have pro
vided lor tiiis gradual decrease, believing
that in a few years our manufacturers
will assert their skiil and ability to manu
facture from the world's wool. In the
carpet schedule wo have uot felt is neces
sary to adopt this sliding scale because
that branch of our textile industry has
long b.*en one of the most flourishing of
all our manufactures.
Average Hnto of Dutico.
The Average rate of duties levied under
! the existing law upon the dutiable goods
I imported in 1893 was 48.71 per cent.
I Had the duties proposed In the present
bill been levied upon that year's iinporta•
I tiou of dutiable goods, the average rate
I including those we have transferred to the
! fr e list, would have been 80.31 per cent.,
but so many of the rates of the present
law are really prohibitory it is impossible
, to say what its rpal rate of taxation Is,
' yet it is safe to afilrin that it is much
i higher than any import tables will dis
close. It must bo understood, hovruvr,
that the rates mentioned can only be
i called closely approximate and not ln-itlie
i matically accurate, but they illustrate
i the extent of the reductions proposed by
| the prerent bill, and the relief which it
I will give to the taxpayer and especially to
! the laborers of this couutry.
Necessities of tho Treasury,
i It may be Baid that we Are not justified
; in making so largo a reduction in revenuo
' at a time when government receipts and
i expenditures can tio longer be balanced,
and. when some new sources of temporary
j revenue must be Bought for. We have
been compelled to retain some articles
upon the dutiable list and to leave some
duties higher thau we desire 1 be cause of
the present necessities of the treasury.
Ad Valorem for Specific.
* A most important change in the bill
proposed from the present law will bo
found in . the general substitution of ad
valorem for specific duties. This mint
always be the characteristic of a revenue
tariff levied upon a large rangeof articles,
especially when they include the plain
necessaries of life.
Arrested the Wrong Man.
Metro Kravitz, of Railroad street, Up
per Lehigh, while on his way to his
hording house from South Heberton on
Sunday night, was waylaid and beaten
by some unknown parties. His eyes
were' nearly gouged out and his nose
broke, besides receiving wounds on his
body. On Wednesday he had Andrew
Contrast), an employe of the Central
Railroad at Upper Lehigh arrested,
charging him before Squire Buckley as
being the party who beat him.
At the hearing Contrash proved by
the testimony of witnesses that he did
not know anything about the case. Con
trash and Kravitz had been together
early in the evening, but Contrash left
for his home in company with the two
others long before Kravitz. After hear
ing the evidence Contrash was discharg
ed, and Kravitz is looking again for the
man that spoiled his face.
Fears of a Freshet.
The heavy rains of the past few days
have caused a sudden rise in theSuaque-
I hanna river with no signs of abatement.
: I.arge cakes of ice are moving down
stream at Wilkes-Barre at a rapid pace
and much damage is feared by people
1 down the river whose properties fringe
I the stream in case of a blockade. Large
trees, boats and timber are being carried
down.
Tuesday morning a small one-story
house about fourteen feet square was
found at the eddy near Patterson's mill,
Pitt6ton. It started from Falling Springs,
and was used by the workmen in that
vicinity as a place of shelter.

What It Coat the Men.
The checks in payment of the striking
firemen on the Lehigh Valley system
are now being sent from the headquar
ters of the brotherhood at Terro Haute,
Indiana. Secretary Arnold estimates
the cost of the stride to the brotherhood
at $35,000. The strikers receive an al
lowance at the rate of S4O a month.
The strike lasted from November 18
to December 0, but the men who did not
get work at once when the strike was
declared off were continued on the
brotherhood's pay roll, and this includes
the men who, while not members of the
organization, went out on the strike.
Mr. Arnold estimates the cost of the
several brotherhoods as follows: En
gineers, $40,000; trainmen, $35,000; con
ductors, $20,000, and telegraphers, $lO
- 'I he total makes the next largest
outlay by organized railway labor to
that of the Chicago Burlington and
Quincy strike, which cost the engineers
$1,000,000 and the firemen $500,000 in
cash.
Special Council Meeting.
The borough council met in tho coun
cil room on Tuesday evening, when Sur
veyor Boyle presented a sketch of a sur
vey made on Monday from South street,
to Pino and Johnson streets, in connec
tion with the opening of the latter street.
The sketch follows the old township
road as laid out in May, 1871.
After hearing the report, the council
agreed to a plan by which the street can
be made uniform width without remov
ing any of the buildings, providing the
parties interested can agree, otherwise
the matter will be left to the court to
settle. ,
Attorney Ilayes was authorized to put
in an appearance for the borough in the
suit at Wilkes-Barre today.
Railroa<lern Released from Jail.
Conductor Wm. Levan and Engineer
Berkholder, of the freight train which
was wrecked at Fairview on December 1,
when Frank Wilson, a brakeman was
burned to death, were discharged from

ever since the accident, on tho charge of
manslaughter. It being claimed they
neglected to send back their rear brake
man to tlag the approaching freight that
crashed into them.
Tliey were given a habeas corpus
hearing before Judge Woodward, and
he decided there was not sufficient
evidence to hold them. They went to
their homes in Ilarrisburg.
Columbia l>sk Calendar.
This calendar which is issued annually
by the Pope Manufacturing Company,
of Columbia bicycle fame, is out for 1894,
much improved in appearance. It is a
pad calendar of the same size and shape
as those of previous years, having a leaf
for each day, but its attractiveness has
been heightened by the work of a clever
artist, who lias scattered a series of
bright pen-drawings through its pages.
It also contains, as usual, many appro
priate and interesting contributions from
people both bright and wise.
lluwortli'H Show I.at Night.
Iloworth's Hibernica did not draw as
well last night as it used to years ago.
The show, however, was fair, as the
specialty features overcame the weakness
displayed by the company in the speak
ing parts. William Ashton, the old
standby of the play, was given quite an
ovation upon his appearance. The new
scenery showed up very well.
