The Proposed New Tariff. Now that the people have been ofii- cially apprised of the Democratic scheme of revenue reform, it is proper to treat that scheme as public property. The Ways and Means Committee are to be credited with candor. They have resorted to no concealments, they have. amused the country with no diplomatic mystery; They avow their conclusions frankly and invite the issue with cour- age and composure. For so much, says the Washington Post, we thank them. Much, if not most of the business depression under which the Nation groans to-day is di- rectly attributable to the suspense in- separable frxem this perid of financial readjustment. The sooner we put an end to the uncertainty and usher in the change, however radical it may be, the sooner shall we start the march of progress and recovery. We wish, there- fore, that we could approve the Demo- ei'atic programme as it has been pre- sented. We should be glad to be able to urge the speedy enactment of the proposed‘mcasure of reform. But we cannot. We see therein certainties more sinister and harmful than the stagnation which is now stifling in- dustry. Fear, hesitation and suspense are evils of formidable magnitude, but there are some realities which are in- finitely worse. Asphyxiation may be relieved. Death .is inexorable. First of all we find the proposition of an income tax unu‘tterably distasteful. Both in its moral and its material as- pects it is abhorrent and forbidding. It does not belong to a free country and a time of peace. It creates a swarm of officials. It multiplies the hardships and the irritations of government. It is a tax upon thrift. It imposes a pen- alty upon success. It Offers a revvard to dishonesty. It makes perjurers. It = corrups the people. It brings in its train the spy, the informer, and the janissary. It contracts the horizon of indivxdual liberty. It is the first step toward centralization, the first blow at the shrine of republican institutions. It is a measure that should not prevail. Every statesman and every patriot in Congress should resist it as he would invasion. , Next, we oppose the proposition of free coal—not as a matter of essential principle,but as a matter of expediency and politics. In theory, free fuel is un- assailablc. In practice, it will be dis- astrous. To open our seaports to for- eign coal at this time is to strike a cruel blo'w at labor—to complete the paraly- sis of the railroads, already distressed to the last point of endurance by the Operation of the interstate commerce act, and the experimentation of doc- triuaires. The railroads furnish lifeli- hood to millions of our people. Impov- erish them and we precipitate whole- sale calamity. There is such a thing as enriching one in theory and at the same time destroying him in fact. start the wheels of industry and keep them rolling merrilly—not legislation that will clog and paralyze them. ter high-priced necessities of life and the means of obtaining them, than vis- I ions of 'Utopia in the hovcls of the; starvmg poor. Finally, speaking in the interest of. the peOple and of the government, there should be a duty on sugar. That we should re-establish the tarifl' on su- gar seems to us beyond controversy. That tarifi', as it existed before the Mo- Kinley scheme went into operation, yielded the gOVernment nearly 870,- 000,000 annually. the whole country and of everybody in it. The money went directly into the Federal Treasury and became immedi- ately available for the maintenance of the government. It was collected at small cost and absolutely without hard- ship to the individual. If we had that revenue to-day, we should not be dis- cussing an income tax, or any other form of internal and therefore direct excise with its hateful train of mischief and corruption. If we do not restore it. we shall have a greater evil. The citizen will move the tax-collector from the seabOard custom-house to his hum- ble door. He will exchange liberty for surveillance. He will swap the ap- praiser for the spy. If we want its protection we must support society. This is the day of common sense and fact. Government requires money,and _ it is to the interest of the governed to “Equal and Exact Justice to all Men of-W'hwzitcvcr State or ' Persuasion, Religious ur PoLitical,”-—Jeffcrscm ' - Vol. lV.—-—Wllclc N0. 759 Will entail upon them the least possible inconvenience. The tariff on sugar met the necessities of the case far bet- . ter than any internal tax can meet it. The tax on sugar should be restored. The Post Sensibly concludes by say- ing that it speaks for the welfare of the people and the government, without regard to parties or politicians. If we antagonize the Wilson bill it is because we think that the Wilson bill is not adapted to the common good. -—-—————-——-<-o TERSE TALES 0t lHE TIMES. H. W.

The experiment of planting oysters in the marsh creeks has been tried in Stratford by the oyster companies and this week reported a successful venture. The question was raised that they would not thrive in the creeks. For the experiment the mud was first dredged out leaving a good bottom. was bedded. According to the report they have grown rapidly and are of a particularly sweet and superior quality. In the creeks the oysters are in no danger from storms, and the brackish water which flows from inland aids their growth and quality. The experiment is of interest to all oystermen and will likely be tried all along shore. If suc cessful it will increase the value of some property which figures very small in the grand list of the state at present. A Poor Marksman. A Greenville woman on Monday saw a neighbor’s dog chasing her favorite hog and fasten his teeth in the boy’s neck. The woman called her husband and fled to the yard, where she caught the dog by the tail. The man arrived in a short time, loading his revolver and he succeeded in getting hold of the hog’s hind legs. The procession was a union one and covered all the territory in the back yard, while the man was getting range of the dog. Then he fired two shots in rapid succession,which scared away the dog, but the fat porkcr rolled over and died before assistance could be called. Both shots had taken effect in the hog and the dog had badly lacoratcd the animal also—Norwich Bulletin. 0 Am usements- *— M‘USIO HALL.

A hearing was had before the select- men on Friday filternoon to consider the application."f the Norwalk Horse RaiIWuy compaf , in reference to their proposition to relay, extend and im- prove the Winnipauk branch of its rail- road in and through Main street or Pud. ding Lane so called, and the Wilton road, from the northern boundary of the City of Norwalk to 'a point- at, or near the schoolhouse at Winnipauk; and to use electricity as the motive power thereon, and to place, erect and maintain all fixtures, structures, sup- ports, wires and conductors, necessary or suitable thereto; and asking the ap- proval of its proposed action by the subscribers; all? of which fully ap- poured in saidjzapplicationand in the plans submittedtherewith and now on file in the office of the subscribers, show- ing in detail said proposed changes, im- provements, extensions and new con- struction. . President E. J. Hill gave satisfactory assurance that the road would be so con- structed as to maintain a perfect circuit so guarded and conducted that the mo- t-‘ve power used would do no harm to either water or gas pipes. Modern de-' Vices will housed in preventing the grounding of the return current before it reaches the power houses. Instead of a single rod of galvanized iron Con necting the ends of rails, the connec- tion will be made at the rail ends by two rods of five-cighths inch solid cop- per; at intervals‘of ten feet cross rods of iron will connect opposite rails. The prayer of the petitiOuers was granted by the selectmen, no one ap- pearing in opposition to the same. In the evening there was a hearing before the city council to act upon the petition of the company for an ap- proval of its plans for rebuilding and improving its tracks on Wall street from Knight street to Bel- dsn avenue; rebuilding and double tracking West avenue from Belden ave- nue to the city limits; regaugin to standard gauge and bonding the in- nipauk branch 3. and with all necessary curves, crossovers, switches and frogs, and showing the center line of double tracks, and the center line of single track; the distance apart of double tracks; the grade of the tracks; the kind of mil to he used; the weight of such rails; the pavement inside and out- side of rails; the method of application of electricity as a motive power; the distance of trolley wires above the street and how protected; the kind of wire construction to be used; the kind of poles to be used and where to be lo- acted, and the quality of all line ma- terials, therefore. Among those present and who were heard in the matter were Messrs. E. J. Hill, W F. Aeton, G. M. Holmes, A. B. Hill, PierCefiMansfield, Perry. War- ner, Hur’lbutt, Coolidge and Austin. Mr. Coolidge wanted the tracks so la d that the return current would not injure the water pipes. He was assured by Engineer Hill that the copper bond- ing of the tracks as proposed would“ prevent any such damage. Mr. Austin objected to wooden poles being used on West avenue at or near his residence He was advised by Mr. Bill that iron poles would be substitu- ted wherever desired. Ml‘_ J. B. Hurlbutt, representing the Matthews estate, gave notice that he objected to any changes being made in the present system. As most of the property represented is in South Nor- walk he was told that an opportunity would be given him to present his Ob- jections at a meeting to be held in South Norwalk Monday evening. Mr. Levi ‘v‘a’nrncr representing the Van Buren propertyywanted it undcr~ stood that while he did not object to immediate action on the part Of the council on the application, gave notice that his client did not assent to the pro- posed layout or the location of the poles. He also insisted that the city should reserve such control as to order the erection of either iron or wooden poles and designate as to where they should be placed. The application of the company, after being somewhat changed and amended, was on the motion of Councilman Wheeler granted. - , -<+ Council Meetlng. An adjourned meeting of the City council was held Friday evening, the Mayor and full board being present. The lobby was crowded with spectators all seemingly anxious as to what would be done with the police question. The following bills were ordered paid: J. A. Pinneo, $15. 86; Gas Light 00., 23.83. The bill of the Electric Light Company for $508.10 was referred to the committee on lights with power. Dr. W. F.

" , NEW YORK, Jan.’ 6.-——Bradstreet’s to- day says: General tradc throughout the country has been of somewhat smaller volume than last week, an indication of its character being found in a report from Chicago that small mail orders constitute the bulk . of the wholesale business. Stock-taking is also a feature, but the re- turn of commercial travelers to the road is reported from nearly all points. Prices for iron and steel are declared to have been still further shaded at eastern cen- tres since the beginning of the year, and while there has been no further depres- sion in wool prices, concessions are to be obtained on offers to buy. Resumption of work in industrial lines are very numerous, more than twice as many faca ‘tories and mills have started up within the week as have shut down, but the re- duction of wages in industrial lines con- tinue very numerous in establishments which remain at work. Orders for print cloths at eastern mills amount to only one-third of the quantity on the books one year ago, and' the week’s sales of wool at Boston are 65 per cent. less than in the like week last year. \VOolen mills are do- ing a hand-to~mouth business on orders, and interest in the cotton market is con- tered on receipts, which have begun to fall Off rapidly, although still ahead of last year. The cotton crop estimates call for a-further shrinkage of receipts. East- ern dry goods jobbers are preparing for the spring movement by ordering and opening supplies, While agents have be- gun to get goods forward, A feature at Chicago has been heavy increases of country bank deposits and noteworthy purchases of bonds. Bank clearings at 65 cities for 1893 aggregate $54,165,000,000, a falling off of about 12 1-2 per cent. from 1892, about 4 per cent. from 1891, and less than 11 per cent. from the total in 1890. There are reported 486 business failures throughout the United States, as com- pared with 318 last week, 318 in the week ayear ago, and 339 two years ago. The Speculative stock market has passed the turn of the year 'without encountering any disasters in financial circles, devel- opments Of that kind being significant. The Erie reorganization plan has no effect on the market. Its success seems to de- pend upon London interests. The feeling there is reported unfavorable to the plan. The bond market is firm, with amodsrate investment demand confined to the best class of securities. . _ Boston reports trade in all lines as dull as previously, but there is a prospect for a better demand for shoes. Previous dull— ness at Philadelphia is intensified, al‘ though some woolen manufacturers have started up portions of their plants. Busi; mass at Baltimore is very dull. and merch- ants predict the January volume of busn ness smaller than last year. Merchandise stocks are very light. No prospect of ear.y improvement is announced from Pitts. burg, merchandise dealers in some in- stances carrying on a hand-to-mouth busi- ness. Prices of iron and steel continue to weaken. Coal shipments down the Ohio river last year were the shin] lest fol-twelve years. NO improvement is reported in business circles at Buffalo, and, aside from stock-taking, relatively the greatest activity is said tO be by those engaged in relieving the necessities of the unemployed poor. . - At Cleveland wholesale dealers in gro- ceries are said to be having a moderately fair busineSs—an exception to the rule. Extreme dullness is reported from Cincin- nati, but at Detroit the sense of depression in business circles is less pronounced. General trade at Chicago is very quiet, consisting principally of small ,mail ord- ers. Merchandise stocks there and at tributary points are low. and prices of nails and of pig iron are shaded. St. Louis manufacturers of shoes and jobbers of hardware report a satisfactory volume of trade last year. At Charleston com mercial travelers have been going out on the road. There is more activity in to- bacco at Louisville, and Kentucky jean factories are running with full forces and fair prospects. Atlanta manufacturers are resuming work; the demand for fuc- tory products at Augusta remains quiet, and collections are reported improving at Savannah.
