Asjority and Minority Repo.cs of the Senate Finance Commitier. {UK REPUBLICANS DEFEND THE SENATE BILL AND DE CLARE TUE MILLS BULL TO BR secTIoNAL—“Tu: AMEMICAN SYSTEM"—THE DEMOCRATS DENOUNCE THE NEW BILL SAY IT 18 IN THE IXTEREST OF CLASSES—HR. BRCE'S VIEWS. ‘The majority and minority reports on the tariff Dill were submitted to the Senate late yesterday afternoon. The Majority Report. ‘The republican majority declare the demand for @careful and thorough revision of our revenue Jaws to be imperative. First, To reduce the national Sa are now excessive. Second. To protect honest im- Portersand domestic producers from the disas- ‘Tous consequences resulting from fraudulent un- Gervaluation of Imported merchandise on which ud valorem rates of duty are levied. Third. To semeay Une defects, anomalies and incongruities ‘Which have been from time to time discovered in the Lariff schedules or which erronrous decisions ‘ot the ‘Treasury Doparcmens, Fourth, To secure tae equalzaUlon of tariff rates rendered necessary by odilted business conditions, improvements 1D Inetuods Of production, radical changes in prices, or OF new elements or sources of competition. Fifth. To give reliet and tlon to many In- Gustries wien are now suffering on account of ‘Vue Inadequate rates levied on competing products. HOW THE SURPLUS SHOULD HAVE BEEN USED. ‘The majority assert that the demand for reve- hue reduction is more urgent because of the inex- cusable retention ta the Treasury of the vast sums of money tm excess of current public demands, and say that within the next four montas this Surplus will be suficient to pay off the outstand- ing 436 Per cent bonds due in 1801—$221,000,000. ‘The report maintains that the surplus should have been used for the purchase of United States bonds, charges Uhat the policy of the party in power been to delay action, magnify evils and ts Lo the provective system. THE MILIS BILL CKITICIZED. The majority expresses its conviction of the 1n- adequacy of the House bill as a remedial measure for the reasons: First, that 1t would probably in- rease instead of reducing the revenue. Second, hat it provides no remedy for undervaluation, but, On the contrary, invites and gives immunity wo by substituting ad valorem for specific and tuird, that it does not remedy any of {he equalities or anomalies or cure any of the defects of existing law. ‘The majority assert that the House rpetuates existing infirmities aud by its obscurities and faulty construction and amuiguities which must multiply 1n- definitely the present confusion. The majority contend that the substitution of ad ‘Yalorem for specific duties by the House bill is “viclous;” that It could have no other effect than Yo change rates now protective for others which ‘Would not protect; that the evils which flow from Ad valorem rates are so great and so manifest that Pa has al fraud duties; creates donbus {hits plan of collecting duties has no advocates ‘but ‘and political revenue reformers and consignors, FREE THADE TENDENCIES. The majority continue: The free-trade tenden- les which are party concealed in these proposi- tions to cripple or destroy numerous industries are clearly brought into view by an examination Of the lst of articles. which the, bill proposes to Place upon the free list. Of whe 104 items from ‘whieh the duties are removed, nearly one-half, 48 umber, are manufactured articles; cultural products; 11 are articles which are now Tree of duty, of without commercial importance, and 21 are aFticles which now pay a revenue duty, Dut which are of such character that re- of duties ts unobjectionabie. ‘This 1s free in the concrete, and the list furnishes con- Clustve evidence of the inteat of the House bill, which cannot be neutralized by the elevento-bour disclaimers of its supporters. The percentage of jmportations of free and duttable articles under The various tariffs which have been in existence from 1846, inclusive, 18 shown by the following Period. Dutiable | Free Per Cent. Per Cent 1847 to 1857. 88 1z S58 to 1861 as a 1879 to 1583. 70 30 1584 to 1887, 66 Ee ‘THE WOOL QUESTION. ‘The report then takes up the wool question and discusses it at length, saying that in selecting this branch of industry for the radical changes the free-trade theories inforce, the President and his party make it mauifest that tuey accept these {heortes, and intend to put the ax to the root of The protective system. The majority call the ‘Mills bill sectional, alleging that it im favor of the planters of the cotton-growing section by retaining high duties on the products of ‘Uhat section—sugar and rice—and by removing duties trom cotton-ties, bagying, and other articies used by cotton planters. And yet, continues the Teport, that section contains but "23 percent of the industries to be crippled or destroyed. ‘THE BLOW AT PROTECTION IN THE MILLS BILL. ‘The majority contend that the percentage of re- uetion under the Mills bill, leaving out sugar, is 40.37 per ceut, and that instead of retaining an average ad valorem rate of 42.78 per cent it would retain oniy 22.52 per cent. The majority report continues: “Te alleged conservative character of ‘he House bill disappears under the examination, and we fod that the average reductions it Would produce are more thau twice as great a8 any Whica have hereto(ore been proposed Dy the most courageous revenue reformer.” Further, it charges that if all protected articles are pi.ced on the free list and all protected indus- Ines destroyed, and dues maintained ac present Fates on tobacco, sliks, Wines, liquors and sugar, the average ad Valoreim rate would be 71.92 pet cent, and, ube report says, “by this wonderful mathematical process of ascertaining the extent ‘of protection by the average ad valorem rate we should find that the nearer we approach free trade the greater would be the degree of protection af- forded our industries. The assurance that a high average ad valorem duty was preserved would afford no compensation to the manufacturers or Workingmen Whose industries were destroyed by the removal of duues.” ALCOMOL IN THE ARTS. ‘The provisions of the substitute waich allow the use of alcohol in the industriat arts free from taxation would prove of great benefft to alarge number of Important manufactures. Alcohol 1s used tn the production of more than 500 chemical and pharmaceutical preparations and in many of (he mechanical aud industrial arts, and its use in all these directions would be largely extended If tue onerous tax shouid be abolished. Tue heavy \ax upon alcohol unnecessarily increases the price of many manufactured products, with no curre- Benefit except te resulting revenue, ‘Which is BOW unnecessary. ‘Ou the subject of the internal revenue the re- port says they considered the repeal of the entre internal revenue system, Dut deemed that course at present impracticabie and unWise, for the rea- Sons that taxes on spirits and beer suould re. main, and dairy products should be protected from fraudulent imitations. ‘The majority in conclusion ex- Tegret that they have been deprived of the services of Senator Morrill in framing a tari bull, ‘The Minority Report, ‘The minority report is signed by Senators Har- Tis, Vance, and Voorhees, and Senator McPherson adds the followiog: “I concur in the report, in- dorsing the House biil in respect to articles placed on the free ust, Dut desire some modification to the dutiabie lis ‘The minority, at the ouvset, the short Ume allowed tuem for the complain of coustderation of the subject by the majority, say- | Tere 1s much feel ing: “In the preparation of the substitute for the ‘House Dill ne member of tue minority of the com- iuittee Was consulted or Informed as to Its provisions Uatil It Was reported to the full committee on the ‘25th of September, 1885.” ‘THE BILLS COMPARED. “The essential differeace between the House bill and the Senate substitute,” say the minority, “1s apparent and radical at the outset in the matter Of revenue, ‘The one is framed in tue inte rest of the public Treasuty, the other in the interest of private pockets, Tie one ts framed in the interest ‘of Une whole people, the other in the interest of 000,000 manufcturers The oue 1s The taxation especially which bears heaviest on the necessaries of life; the other 1s intended to Fale public revenue, indeed, but to maintain pryaue revenues by | increasing and retain- ing taxation on all the necessaries of life. ‘The advocates of the substitute freely to reduce duties or abolish them ou those Which yield only juce private revenue.

The tain that the Senate Dill instead sotton producer and picker from “most formidable and insolent its hand upon the throat of their burdens by addi Sion pose me ee lucer. that {arist is stl furtner burdened ‘an increase of duty on trace-chains articles. ‘The minority summarize leged impositions of the senate “That taggers’ iron should be cent to 65 per cent; that table cutie ‘Should be raised by specitic rates Tem; that knives for the poor should sper for the rich; loading shotguns shouid be made c! $200 grade und dearer for the $15 grade each pay $10 and 25 per cent ad valorem; all these and more are no longer startling, and prepare the tind for a thousand other Inconsistencies and dis- criminations hidden by uew and obscure classifl- cations that only Ume and patient investigation will reveal.” ‘THE TAX ON CLOTHING, RTC. The minority charge that by the Senate Dill ‘medium cotton yarns are raised 3 cents per pound; tnat hosiery is made dearer for the poor; collars fare ralsed from 30 to 80 per cent; that the duty on Wool is increased, and that on carpet w cl isnot produced is this country, wrretaimed. The cheapest woolen dress goods, costing only 15 cents & square yard, is taxed by the substitute 6 cents a ‘Square yard and 40 per cent ad valorem, making the whole tax thus Imposed 80 per cent. ‘On dress goous wholly of wool the duty is increased from 9 cents a square yard and 40 per cent ad valorein to 11 cents per square yard and 40 per cent ad va- lorem, making an increase of taxation on this Single article upon the basis of the importations Of the fiscal year 1887, when 31,136,149 yards were imported, of $022,722! And aS these goods only cost an average of 21 cents a yard in the foreign market, and under e: lawW taxed 82.96 per cent ad’ valorem, 18 tnereased to 92 per cent ad va- 2. The minority assert that the retention of the duty on lumber is an aggravation, a heavy burden Ou the many that inures to the benefit of 9 few in- dividuals. ‘The tax on bulk salt ts retained, says the report, and asks why the New England fishery Interests have gait free while the Western farmer and dairyimen are compelled to pay tax upon it. In connection with the tax on animals Uhe minority say: “Animals, live, are made duti- able at specific rates at_ $20 per’ head for horses and mules. Animals for breeding purposes stride for the tax 0 $11 ist ieaceel salle i | HAH Estee i & g e iz fi a § iA 3 Bs ? i = af SE El bay, under the proposed substitute, oo more tax than bow. And other ani- now per cent are taxed at the ‘as the more valuapie ‘animals, ‘None are benefited but the wealthy.” ON THE SUBJECT OF TRUSTS the report says: “The present tariff ts the nursing mother of trusts, It is the wall behind which these combinations are formed, by which the peo- ple are plundered, ‘Tariffs keep out the a competition and the combination sup} the domestic, and the whole people are at their mercy and must pay What they demand. Language is in- adequate to describe the iniquity of these corpora- tons against the rights of the their disastrous effects upon the general welfare. As the tariffs, which render trusts possible, are es- tablished and maintained at the special Instance Of those who form them it would seem but simple Justice as weil a good policy vo tear down as much ‘as possible of their covert and refuse to longer ald them in wrongdoing. They are not “private af- fairs,” as has been asserted, but public evils of the gravest character, affecting the price of every article which contributes to ‘the comiort and sup- port of the people. ‘The provisions of the subsu- Lute favor thei greatly, and wiil serve to encour- age their formation in’ sulil other branches of manulacture. Many of those belonging to the trusts appeared before the Mnance committee, ¢lamorous for such legislation as would promote Lueir Interests. ‘They are all opposed to the House bul, which should commend it to all who condema their methods. It is bad enough to permit those Who are most inverested—manutacturers—to ap- Peak before our committees and st the legis- tion they wish, but surely we should not listen Vo the trusts and aid them to rob with both hands.” DENYING THAT THE HOUSE BILL MEANS PRER TRADE. The minority deny the charge that the House Dill means free trade, and say such charges are as false as they are misleading. They refer to the Tecommendations of republican Presidents and Secretaries of tne ‘Treasury, during the last few Years, in favor of a reduction of taxation, and as- Sert that the real enemies of American labor are those who supplant it with the labor of unuatu- ralized foreigners whenever they can be obtained cheaper. The report states that cotton was long ago placed on the free list, but it did not make tree-traders of those who voted for it, nor did it reduce the wages of workers on cotton plantations or in cotton factories; that more than a decade and a half ago hides were piaced on tue free list, and instead of destroying the leather industry of the Union this country now leads the world in its manufacture. ‘The minority are convinced that, besides the ad- Vantage tothe whole country wnich would result from the placing of wool upon the free list, 1 can be demonstrated that no class will suffer, bat unat each will reap his share of te benefit, In conclu- sion they recommend the House bill. Mr, Beck’s Report, In his supplemental and individual report Sena- tor Beck, after eulogizing the features of the Milis Dili, says that the atvempt of the majority of the committee to restore specific instead of ad valorem Tates simply means that the goods used by the poor shall be taxed out of all proportion to those used by the rich, and that the people snail derive ho benefits and no reduction of taxation trom the invention of new machinery or economic processes Which cheapen the cost of the production of the foods ‘The night to plunder the people was all combinations of wealth and power asked; ‘that seemed to be the object which the majority of the comumituee, by its Dill, endeavored to attain, The bills now presented by the respective political organizations are infinitely more im- portant in the principles they represent (han i the amount of taxation they propose to Femove measured merely in money.” The demo- rats seek cautiously and prudently to reduce all taxation to the revenue standard, so as to take from the people notming except ior public uses and purposes, at the same time taking care that ho injury is done to any domestic industry. Even though unduly stimulated by protection, on whose success the empioymeent of any considerable por- lion (of our people depends, they seek to aid our manutacturers by cueapening wherever It is pos- sible the raw materials from which fluishea goods are made, $0 that the markets fur them may be enlarged ‘add extended to other countries, and steadier employment be furnished to those who roduce them. ‘Senator Beck then to eu- ize President Cleveland, and to Fepubil- can leaders, including Gen.’ iarrison,with flooding tue country with Chinese labor.

Take 105 Irtshmea, Engilshmen, Scotchinen, Welshmen, Germans, or 'Freuchmen, inywhere 1n this coun: try, and you tind a village or town of trom 300 to 600 inhabitants, supporting schoois, churches, stores, and other institutions, They’ would not Submit to incarceration in the builuing at Eckert mines or tn ‘Kelly's Kow.’ Their labor would go to improve the country in more ways than one. ‘They would Bave their own homes in which to keep their own fawilies.

The crib stands 54 feet high and has a diameter of 70 feet, and will, after being launched, be transported to its post- Uon, two and one-half miles out in the lake, by means of immense scows.

GEIGER DOWN INTO POLITICAL ARGUMENT. ‘The New York Sun says: ‘There was a headless barrel in Charles Geiger's stable at Lyndhurst, N. J., on Monday morning, and while talking politics to acouple of neighbors Mr. Geiger converted the barrel into seat by laying a shingle across it, During the heated argument which followed Mr. Geiger shifted until the shingle slipped, and he went down into the barrel with his knees doubled up under his chin, Tne two neighbors tried to Pull uim out of the Darrel. They id not know hat there Was a double row of nails protruding into it from the top hoops. The nails were luciined downward and were sharp, and when the two eager frieuds tried to separate Mr. Geiger and the barrel they forced the nalis into his flesa in a dozen places. He yelled with pain, and they de- sisted and tried Lo devise some meaus of extricat- jug their friend, He was about to go down through the barrel, and there was but one to do—cut the burrel'away trom him. ‘They went to work with thelr kuives, and after inflicting untold agony upon the helpless man they succveded in peeling the hoops and staves away from him, He ‘was bieeding from a dozen cruel punctures, <——— eee Terrible Death of a Gymnast, ‘The death at Angers is announced of the well- known gymnast Castanet, son-in-law of Pezon, He was killed by a fall from a Ugbtrope 23 yards high, ‘He had performed on it amid ablaze of fireworks, which he himself let off, on Sunday, and with such ‘success that ne resolved to repeat his perilous per- formance.
