explicit, and are intended for distribution as

Wanna closely printed pages, of which
over twenty-five are tabular. There are de-
tailed comparisons between the features of
the Milli bill and also those of the present
law and the bill upon which this is a report,
making all of the essential points compre-
' bonfire to the average reader.
The majority report opens with the state»
Ilium that the domain] for a careful and
thorough revision of our revenue laws is in»
mat-ire. Thiw revision, it says, is necessary:
intuition the national revenues, which are
33w excessive; to remedy the defects, anoma~
‘ andincongruities which have been from
' to time d'gcoverad in the tariff schedules,
if which have been created by erroneous do-
dlloik of the treasury department; to secure
“mar readjustment and equalization of
harm rates, rendered necessary by modified
, conditions; improvements in method

MINORITY REPORT.
The Senate Bill ('ondemncd and the
Mill, Bill Recommended.
The minority at the outset nunplain that
none of them were consulted or informed
about the provisions of the substitute n-
ported bythe Republican majority until it
was reported to the full mmmittee on the
25th of last month, and of the hearings be
fore the sub-committee since last May, they
assert that it is safcto say all the interests
benefited by a high protective tnrifi have
been fully heartland have had much influ-
ence in shaping the substitute, while the
great body of the people, the taxpayers, and
victims of this policy, have not appeared and
have not yet been heard ('ritic'ming the substi<
tote, the minority say the essential difference
between the house bill and the senate substi-
tute is apparent and radical at the outsct in
the matter of revenue. The one is framed in
the interest of the public tmm'ury: the other
in tho interest of private pockctat The one is
framed in the interest of the whole pcoplc;
the other in the interest of 300,00) nmnufao
tut-em The one it designed to mince both
govurnment revenue and taxation, the taxa-
tion capecinlly which bcars henvivst onthe
necessaries of life; the other is intondedto
misc public revenue, indceil. but to maintain
private revenues by increasing and retaining
taxation on all the humanities of life. Prac-
tically, the substitutc offers to the [ample f rco
whisky and free tobacco, leaving all the ex-
pensive machinery for the collection of the
revenue and unforcemont of the law in full
for-cc, while it incrcaws taxation upon the
actual and indispensable ncmauaries of life,
and this, too, when there is a large surplus in
the treasury, and under exciting laws that
surplus is being increased at the rate of over
81m,000,000 per month, thus withdrawing
and withholding from the channels of trade,
commerce and business of the country moncy
absoh'itoly necemary to their succussful opera-
lions.
The substitute, the: minority say, not only
retains aduty on raw wool, but increases
the duty from ill to 1! cents a poundou
clothing and combing Wool, and the exist-
ing duty is retained on carpet woola, which
all parties agree are not produced in this
country, and the changes made in the manu-
factures of wool increases the taxation, and
to that extent increases the coat of the
manufactured article and especially the
cheaper grades—the clothing of the poor.
it the cotton schedule, they say, the great
process of “leveling up" is called into requisi-
tion. By changes in classification and by
new subdivisions still further complicating
the administration. and by changes in rates
in effect principally increasing taxes, most
glaring inconsistencies and discriminations
are perpetrated in this swelled revision.
Commenting on the connection hctwocn
the tariff and trusts, the minority may;
“The present tariff is the nursing mother of
truuts. It is tho wall behind which these
combinations are formed, by which the
people are plundeml. Tariffs keep out the
foreign competition and the combination
suppresses the domestic. and tho whole people
areat their mercy and must pay whatever
is demanded. is inadequate to

They clan the report by moulding to

alike on justice and good policy.
The minority report is signed by Senators
Harris, Vance, Thorium and McPherson;

MR. aécxisr TiEPORT.
no Thinks the New in“ Favor- the Rich
" iron Insulin. Poor.
Senator Beck, in his individual report
the tarifl bill, says tint the struggle of t
majority of the conunitwe on finance
to he, and its effect certainly is, to close our
ports as laraspoauible to commerce from
abroad, and surnuider to" other nations the
romance of the outside ivorld, and subject
our exports to such extortiona in freight
charges in combination of foreign ship own-
ers may ace tit to exact.
Continuing, he arguea that the attempt of
committee to restore specific instead of ad
valorcln rates means that the goods med by
the poor shall be taxed out of all propor-
tion to those used by the rich. The preterm
upon which high tariff are now demanded
will be as strong, he says, fifty ymrs hence as
they areal. present. It is no longer infant
industries that are clamoring. The manu-
facturers are stalwart giants now. The bills
now presented by the reamectivn political or-
ganizations, continues Mr. Buck, are intln-
itely more important in the principles they
represent. than in the amount of taxation
they propose to remove, measured mcmly in
money.
Referring to the president's massage he
says: "if any pmsident. ever satisfied the
American people thin he subordinated pri-
vate ends to public interests and had the
courage to cxpros comvictiom regardhn of
personal consafiigtces, President Cleveland
in this message ' . ‘ ed them that he has
acted with an eye sing to the public good.
lt will boa striking evidence of the power of
employers over their workingmcn if they suc-
cccd in making them believe that their wel-
fare entors into the (amidst to be waged. The
struggles made by their loaders, (ion. Harri-
son included. to flood the muntry with Chi
nose, sending money to China and importing
10,000 of them at a time, as the managers of
the Central Pacific railroad did, give the lie
to all their profcsions of sympathy with
high priccd American labor.”
Neither Mr. Carnegie nor any of the sub-
sidized hand, says Mr. Beck, can dclmlc tho
American people.
Continuing, he says that the president’s
mango and the house bill were both club
neatly conscrvntivc. The senate bill, in the
wool, mum: and other schcululcs, not only
increasml the rate of tax, but did it in the
form of compound and specific duties, no as
to conceal the increases. The cotton sclnlules
were simply outrageous. Mr. Beck says he
is glad the committm has gone to the extreme
of protection, restriction and destruction.
Concluding, hecimdomns the cotton bag-
ging trusts as a tariff creation.
