AlJFKLY—3ai«r rab ass for th* , D»i.». , , THE ISSUE. Tbs political nit nation will retmio somewhat uncertain nntil tbs bill re dncisg taxes is before tbe Hoose of RepresentatiTM. Tbe recommends lion# of f bo tneaeage were addressed to Congresa. Aclson npon them can only in tbe first instance be lait eu by tbu Honee. In that body tbe Democrat*! are in tbe majority. It is therefore tbe exclusive fnnciioo of tbe Democrat* io the House of Rep reseiiiatives to present tbe measure reducing faxaii^a for which tbe I’ft* idect has asked and which tbe peo pie else ask for. When the bill i* before Congress and the cone try, tbe iasae will be made np. IbeConreo tion will pronounce npon it, and the people will express their will at tie election. I? is our belief that a just and rca sonsble measure will be approved- By this we mean a bill wbicb will re dues tbe taxes to too exteot of about eighty millions a jeir, and which will effect tbe redaction by making free tbe materials most used in our industries, and by greatly diminish in^f taxation upon tbe commodities that are Ktressarj to life. It is not likely tbut there will be any serious opposition to such a meaiiiro because it does not aceom pliah all tb.it ought to b t done, or because tbo adjustments of taxation are not all made with perfect fairness ti.d equality. In other words, we believe tbit compromises will be tolerated, b< cause all sensible men must st-c that I bay cannot be avoided There a ill bo a cert-iio number mn )oa the Dem ocratic members of the House who will be more influenced by local con siderations than by those which feet tbo whole body of the people. At the same time there is a beyond which compromise not be permiled to extend. Iron, coal, salt, lumber and woo! should made tree, not only because it sound economy to do so, but because it would be unsound politics not to do it. They are necessary to life arc also the raw materislsof of industries. Lumber should be made free cause u is used for shelter, for the making o! tools, for ship building, and for oilier purposes too numerous for mention, but all of which enter in to every kind of industry and bust n**s. It should a V» be male free because we should no iungir offer bounties for the destruction of our forests, already carried far beyond the hounds of prudence. The land, lately bearing dense and wide spread growths, already sutlers from their wanton destruction, threatening ns wiih Roods, with the deterioration of hillside so.Is, and with the p ruia nent loss of agricultural resotircts* What motive can there be for inflict tug these deep and incurable mju ties upon out country? " Salt and iron are tbe prime cssen lists ol ihose industries upon which the prosperity of the people most de peril. The one is the preacr * alive of food; the other enters into the proJuc tion and the transportation of every product of the soil and of every result of human industry. Can it be necessary, after t he eX pericnce of this cruel winter, to make an argument in favor of relieving coal and wool from taxes? Upon what possible ground can taxes so merciless be defended? They furn ish a motive for resistance to law -as mon «*ciM*ble than mo*! of thooe that bavf i*spired Moody rebellion* which bi*?orjr ha* justified. Wl repeat lhai there should be no coonproen se as to these mailer*. They should be the feuo Jatton stones of the Ta* Hedactioo bfff. It h an affront to the com mo# sense of she people l<> s ippone that ibe-.j do not desire that the sales we hate named should be removed. Xe* York i* tbe greatest raxtinfac taring State in the Union. If facto rie* doable tbe price of farms and make farmers rich, tba farmer* of that State ought to be prosperous Bat art they? In an article in the March Forma Ex Congressman Mor risen sava : “Aa to tbe agricultural interest in Xtw York, tbe second State in value of agricultural prod acts, we are informed on tie a at-.or ity of the State agent of the Bureau of Sut sties, that New York farmers are more in debt than they were ten ytaraago; tlfat the average depre elation of farming lauds is folly one third id ten years; that probably one third of tbe farms in tbe State would not **U for more than the cos; of tbe buildings end other im proTements : that 30 per cent of the farms are mortgaged for two third* of tbeir cm iiu .ted value, This State is first in tbe magnitude of its man afactnrch and in the advantage, at j home and abroad, for agricultural j 1 products. It is not unfair to say that agricuUore is as prosperous in Nlw York as the average for ail tbe SUUs. If Dearly thirty years of protection leaves tbe farming inter esi in tbe condition which this re port shows it to be, protection does not benefit agriculture.” The Brooklyn Eagle makes the prediction *bat tbe vote of every delegate at St. L iuis from every State and Territory will be cast fur Mr. Cleveland on tbe first roll call. j A Great Hattie I* continually jroingon in the human ay* em ftie demoBof impure blood strive* to gain victory over the eonstiiutton, to ruin health, to drac' virtin;* *o the graue.
