Pike County Democrat, Volume 24, Number 45, Petersburg, Pike County, 23 March 1894 — Page 7

WHmT is needed. Action. Not Wordj Debates, Wanted at the lancet Juncture. Senator Voorhees and his democratic associates of the finance committee have wisely decided not to give in- j terminable hearings to those who wish j to have taxes imposed, not for public ; revenue only but for their private revenue only. Mr. Yoorhees speaks the truth when he says: “The country needs action; action.” In a statement given to the public by | Chairman Voorhees with the approval I of his associates it is said that the claim is made that whoever may wish to do | so must be allowed to appear before ; the committee and be heard about j every interest affected by the tariff, j “One senator alone asks 500 to be beard from his state.” It is further stated ] that the boast has been made that if the claim should be allowed the committee would be compelled to 1 is tea for the next four or five months to men who want tariff for private revenue only. The beneficiaries of private- j greed tariff proposed to use the hearings as “an instrument of delay, indefi- j nite in duration and far more formidable.and efficient than the worst form of filibustering on the floor of the sen- j ate. 7 The democrats of the committee I are right in saying that this shall not be done. Those who think they would be oppressed and wronged by proposed taxes may claim some right to appear before the committee to argue and protest j Those who think only that the reduc-i tion or removal of a tax will deprive them of license to prey upon their fel-low-citizens and those who want taxes imposed merely to enable them to get possession of the earnings of others have no right whatever to demand a hearing. The right to complain of grievances is not to be denied; the right to claim special privileges and advantages is not to be admitted. * The men who are complaining because the finance committee refuses to listen to them for fonr or five months while they defend the privileges they now enjoy and demand more, have been heard over and over again. They were heard by Mr. Wilson's committee only a short time ago demanding an extension of their licences to plunder and the continued aid of the government in holding up and stripping their victims. Their pleas are on record and accessible to all senators. Their right to be heard, if they ever had any, was exhausted long ago. Kesides, as Chairman*. Voorhees jaoints out. they are represented in the senate by men w|io are themselves beneficiaries of tne^spoliation system, And who can plead their bad cause faV more ably, eloquently and speciously on the floor of the senate than cthe miscellaneous crowd of beneficiaries can in committee room, and command the attention of the senate and the country to a far greater extentThey have no just ground of complaint They would have none if the whole scaffolding of license and privilege w;ere swept from under them at once. Their victims are seldom heard, excepting through their representatives in congress; those who profit' by the robbery have no right to fare better. f The republican minority of the finance committee affeet to be surprised and indignant at the action of the majority. They are bitter because 4^their plan of indefinite delay in the committee room has been frustrated. Descanting upon the enormous injury inflicted upon the country by uncertainty in regard to tariff legislation, they deliberately planned to prolong that uncertainty to the utmost. Defeated in that direction, the}' now proclaim that the action of the majority “should be resisted by all parliamentary methods.” This means that they propose to filibuster against the bill. The same men who were so impatient and indignant when the silver men were filibustering during the special session now propose to resort to the same tacties, now that their more covert project of indefinite delay has been defeated. If the republicans are going to filibuster against the moderate tariff reduction proposed it is fortunate that the majority have taken a course which will bring on the battle quickly. The sooner it begins the sooner it will be over and the better will it be for the business of the country.—Chicago Herald. _

FUNNY MR. HOAR. Amninc Antic* of the Matuchasett* Sen-ator-HU “Wit Out” Senator Hoar staked his reputation and political salvation, in his Lincolnvain address in Jersey City, on the assertion that there was only one way to start “the wheels of the factories” and bring back “prosperity and comfort to £>he homes of the workingmen.” That way was:. “Let six men, whom you or - I could name, in the United States senate; let one man, whom you or I could name, in the executive* chair, declare to-morrow morning that they or he will not permit for the next three years ^any change in the tariff policy of this country.” We have listened in vain for any such declaration this morning, and yet, to our surprise, we find in the Tribune news of “many mills starting up.” Still more surprising it is to find that this news comes from *Senator Hoar’s own home, Worcester, Mass. The dispatch states that “every cotton mill in the county is running,” and two-thirds of the sets of woollen machinery. Doubtless there is some mistake about this. The mills may have started up on the mistaken *idea that t^they or he” had made the necessary declaration, but as soon as Mr. Hoar gets back to Washington, he will telegraph to have the mills closed at once. Otherwise he may bo called upon to fulfill his awful threat of becoming a “free trader and a democrat for the rest of my natural life.” < Such amusing antics by comic old gentlemen like Senator Hoar serve only to indicate how completely the terrorising tactics of the republican party on the tariff have come to naught. The new tariff is certain to become law-and business is certain to revive. Business would revive under any law—absolute free trade or the McKinley doubled or quadrupled. It would revive, to eotne

extent at least, simply because consumption is now treading on the heels of production, and the mills must start* up because orders are eoming in. Already we begin to see the republicans making a shift to explain how we can enjoy such blessings without ascribing all the praise and glory of them to McKinley. If they had come under his law they would hare been exclusively due to it It will never do to admit that they are a consequence of the Wilson bill, and so we expect to see glowing tributes to the recuperative power of our industries and the continued goodness of providence. The logical formula is much like that by which a Bushman explains his devotion to his fetich: All disasters that occur are due to the superior power or cunning of the devil, temporarily getting the upper hand; bnt success in raids and robbery is due solely to th** '*ter* vention of the fetich.—N. Y. Evening Post. THE ALTERNATIVE. Should Sugar or L«rj»» Income* Be Subject to Taxation? Shall large incomes be taxed, or shall sugrar be retaxed to meet the deficiency in the revenues? A tax of one cent a?pound on raw sugar would yield, on the basis of last year’s Importations, $37,000,000. 'This is a little* more than the committee estimate will be produced by the proposed tax on individual and corporate incomes. „ ; A duty on sugar is a proper revenue tax. It goes straight to the treasury. It would never have been repealed by the republicans except for their desire to prevent reductions in other sehed- j ules in which as a party they were far more deeply interested. But when the present alternative is presented the question is, as strongly put by Mr. MeMiUin in the house, “whether it is better to tax sugar, of which every one consumes about the same quantity, or accumulated wealth, which now goes practically untaxed, for government purposes. Shall we tax a man on what he has or on what he eats?” What is the natural answer of the democratic party4-the party Of the masses in distinction from the classes— to such a question as this? Consumption already pays 98 per cent of the «ost of the federal government Shall it continue to bear substantially the whole? A mechanic with a wife and five children, living on an income of $1,000, consumes about as much sugar as a family of the samb size having an income ’ of $10,000 or $20,000. Is it equal, is it just to tax them both the same amount? An alternative is sometimes the strongest argument It is so in this case.”—X. Y. World. DOES THEM GOOD. Th« Promise of Tariff Reform Starts Up Numerous Industrie*. According to the Textile World of Boston, 172 new mills for the manufacture of textile goods were erected in this country last year. These mills were projected after the election of the present tariff reform congress, and most of them after the inauguration of President Cleveland. Twenty-seven of the fifty-two cotton mills erected are in the south, North Carolina leading with fourteen. The total for New England is fifteen, fcll but two Of them being in Massachusetts. Nearly all of the fifty-three new knitting mills also use cotton. Most of them are in the middle states, the south and west having, however, fifteen between them. There were six cotton batting mills put Up, only one less than in 1892. The profits of the woolen manufacturers were cut do^vn some, but they were sufficiently large to justify the opening of thirty-three new woolen mills. They are scattered pretty well over the country, every section being represented. About half as many silk as woolen mills were established. New Jersey and Pennsylvania manufacturers putting up'ten of them. It is too early yet to tell how many mills will be erected this year, but a good start has already been made, and particularly in the south. The production of textile goods is, however, increased not so much, by the establishment of new mills as it is by the enlargement of those already established. The capacity of fully half of the cotton mills in the south has recently been or is now being increased.—St. Louis Republic.

Mr. Reed's Mistake* Mr. Reed has been making a campaign speech in Philadelphia for the benefit of Galusha A. G row’s candidature for congress. The burden of his complaint against the present condition of things in Washington is that the southern democrats are iu command of the party. It can scarcely have escaped Mr. Reed’s observation in congress that the west, instead of the south, is controlling legislation at present, and that it hasrequired a good deal of generalship on the part of the ; democratic leaders to restrain the ex- | trerae radicalism of the westerm members on economic subjects. With wheat selling under sixty ceuts a bushel the revolution that is going on in the west is not likely to die out. Mr. Reed ought to know this, and we rather think he does.—Boston Herald. “Protection” ^ululng France. In the French chamber of deputies M. Jules Charles Roux, a well known manufacturer of Marseilles, a member of the tribunal of commerce and chamber of commerce of that city, made a I speech in opposition to the corn tax | proposals of the government. He do- [ dared that the acceptance of these proI posals would lead to the destruction of i French commerce and would increase > the price of bread, which was already 1 much dearer in France than in any other country. Protectionism, he declared. was ruining the country. The statistics showed that sines a protective policy had been adopted there had been a yearly falling off of 3,000,003 tons in the amount of freight carried in Franco. : This policy was a suicidal one, and h« j urged that the government go baofc U ■Mae form of free trade.

—The ordinary oolong tea, costing 60 to 70 cents a poi nd, has a capacity of about 120 ha f-pint cups to the pound, while the same amount of Ceylon silver-tipped t>.m costing $32, will supply over 1,500 half-pint cups and, in addition, is vastly superior to that of the common bra ids. The intrinsic value of imported teas rarely exceeds that figure, but ii certain instances, where the tea market has been cornered, as high as $175 a pound has been paid in Lent'on. Society people have lately declare l in favor of the expensive teas and the dainty 4 o’clock teas are no longer the economical social events of yore. —One of the feat ires of the projected printing exhibitin’! in Paris will be a model of the secret printing offices which flourished it the catacombs during the last century, and which a number of artists went to visit the other day for the purj ose of reproducing them from nature.

KNOWLEDGE Brings comfort and improvement and tends to personal enjoyment when rightly usea. The many, who live better than others and enjoy life more, with less expenditure, by more promptly adapting the world’s best products to the needs of physical being, will attest the value to health of the pure liquid laxative principles embraced in the remedy, Syrup of Figs. Its excellence is due to its presenting in the form most acceptable and pleasant to the taste, the refreshing and truly beneficial properties of a perfect laxative ; effectually cles using the system, dispelling colds, headaches and fevers ana permanently curing constipation. It has given satisfaction to millions and met with the approval of the medical profession, because it sets on the Kidneys, Liver and Bowels without weakening them and it is perfectly free from every objectionable sn ostance. Syrup of Figs is for sale by all druggists in 50c and $1 bott es, but it is manufactured by the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Co. only, whose name is printed on every package, also the name, Syrup of Figs, and being well infort ied,jr°u will not accept any substitute f offered.
