THE CAUSE OF IRELAND.
PUBLIC SKNTIMBNT IN GREAT BRIT
AIN AND IRELAND
A» Hrllrctr«l Through the Press—Vnrloaa
Views of (ilsdstone's Home Rale—
The Premier’s Great Hpeeclitho
All - Absorbing Tojrlc.
Low DOS, April 9.—Tho newspapers
throughout Great Britain and Ireland com
ment at great length on Gladstone’s aohemc
tor Irish government.
The London Times sayB, in. substance:
"The measure proposes to place Ireland in
a position, not like that of the American
Union, but liko that ot Canada—a self-
governing province. Separation is com
plete and absolute in principle. Tho re
strictions which it is professed secure the
supremacy of the imperial Parliament must
in practice be worthless, sinoe there is no
efficient sanction behind them. This is the
cardinal point to which pnblio opinion moat
be immediately directed: Is the nation
prepared to give belaud independent polit
ical existence? We cannot suppose that
there is any room for donbt on that point.
It would be grossly unfair to assnme that
the Ilonse will consent to the second read
ing of the measure, which cannot poesibly
survive the debates in committee.”
nonne. s his apology for leaving Gladstone’s I
cabinet the most damaging political act of
his life.
The Dublin Express says tbat the real
reason way Chamberlin resigned was
that Gladstone was unwilling to advance in
the direction of the revolution Chamberlin
wished him to. The latter gentleman’s de
clared preference for federation, the Express
contends, is due to his radicalism and his
fear of losing the support of tho Parneliites
during his contemplated assanlt on the
British landed aristocracy and on the throne.
Tho Orangemen of Armagh made a pnb
lio demonstration to-day against Gladstone's
Irish proposals. They adopted revolutions
severely denouncing the Premier and de
claring their allegiance to the Empire.
Pams, Aptil 10.—In the Chamber of Dep
uties to-day n mdieal motion censuring tlio
S ivemment fur tho arrest of Roche and
ngutry at Decazeville in connection with
the riots was discussed. The debate re
sulted in a vot > of oonfltlccoe in tho govern
ment—43. r . to '15.
Loudon, April 10.—The trial of Burns,
Hyndman, Champion and Williams, the so
cialist leaders, on the charge of having in
cited tho Trafalgar Square nud Hyde Park
riots, was concluded this afternoon. The
jury rendered a verdict of not guilty, and
the defend, n s were all discharged.

taking Darby, locked him up in one
of the rooms. Just then the outlines
of twenty or thirty men wore seen a short

PATRICK EGAN’S OPINION
Washington, April II.—Chairman Mor
rison and Mr. Hewitt of the committee on
wayH and means have completed the report
of the minority of the committee to accom
pany the tariff bill, which will be reported
to tbo House to-morrow. The report says:
"The rate of duty or tax on imported
goods subject to duty is low os 5 on some
and higher than 2U0 per cent, on others.
The average rate for fiscal year 1885 a little
exceeded 47 per cent., or t47 tax on tlUO
worth ot imported goods. This is the
highest rate, paid in any year since 18(18 and
aliove tbe average rate of th* war period
from 18(19 to 18HH.
"The expenditures tor the fiscal year
1885, including pensions and legal require
ments of the public debt, were $305,830,-
970. Neither "the actual needs of un
economical administration of the govern
ment” nor the patriotic expectations of tbe
people justify any increase of thia enormous
annual expenditure, and we may safely es
timate the annual surplus to exceed $30,-
000,000.
“The reductions to result from the pro
posed bill are within this estimated surplus
and little exceed $31,000,000 on the basis of
lost year's importations.
“It is the purpose of the bill reported to
correct sornu of the classifications, rid the
custom laws of complications, and so change
these laws tor the better that they will tie
caprhle of being administered with impar
tiality to nil onr merchants. Thednties in
tended to bo removed by tbe bill are ohiefly
those which tax articles used by onr own
manufacturers, which now subject them to
hopeless competition nt home nnd abroad
with manufacturing nations, none of wbiob
taxes such materials, tbat our awn manu
facturers may successfully compete both at
home and abroad with maLufuotaring na
tions which do not tax such materials, thus
securing markets tor tho products of lands
now idle for the wnut of work to do. Some
of the materials tipun which great industries
aro built -such us wood, H .lt, hemp uud
wool—are placed on the free list.
The report gives at considerable length
the reasons of the majority tor making the
above named articles free, and says:
"In some ot tbe schedules wherein the
rates ore proposed to be reduced—especially
wooden and tlax hemp, jute or UnenH—the
industries are left with substantially tne
same, if not greater, advantages than uuder
existing luws. Other articles the rates on
which are so to lie reduced-as cotton yarns,

—are now dutiable • at unnecessarily
and unreasonably high 'rates. These

without increasing the burdens of the peo
ple. All articles other than luxuries not
produced in tho United States, except in
cose of great national necessity, should be

"Tbe bill recognizes no just principle,
prooeeds upon no system of equitable re
vision or reduction of the tariff. It singles
oat a groan of interests because believed to
be the weakest, yet (some of them) the
most deserving and the least able to bear
this unreasonable discrimination, nnd
strikes them down. The committee feels
impelled to do something, and this bill is

There appears to bo no other reason for it

In the judgment of the minority it will in

no American interest; it will cripple, if not
destroy, all it touches.
"Tbo industrial classes of the country
know from sad experionee that cheap goods,
so called, means cheap labor, and that
things nro dearest when they are without
means to buy them. The peoplo are tired
of congressional interference with tho busi
ness of the country, tired of legislative nag
ging, and the laborers are restless under tbo
constant threat to reduce duties, which thoy
realize means to them reduced wages ana
diminished comforts. In oar opinion this
is a most unfortunate time to disturb the
tariff.”
In concluding, tho minority suggests a
material redaction of the internal revenue

‘With tbs still existing high If not nn.
warrantable scale of current ordinary ex.
penditnres, and tbe one-balf of the money
obligations of tho late civil war yet to be
paid, a high rate of taxation must be loog
maintained, nnd in submitting tho pro
posed bill affecting the cast of shelter, of

people, it hav been the effort of your com
mittee to adopt such rates of taxation as
will be permanent and as will only need to
be disturbed by un unforeseen national
emergency, end at tbe same time to exempt
necessary articles from taxation, and there
by promote domestic indnstties.
"The bill contains numerous provisions
providing for the more effiuiont administra

ity believe will simplify very much the com

customs as tbe merchants whose business
has been deranged by tho uncertainties of
construction incident to th. existing

The report of the RennbUean minority,
which las been prepared by Representative
McKinley of Ohio, begins with the state
ment tbat tho anbititute agreed upon by the
majority is s new creation nnd embodies
little mutter that was included in the orig

"The majority assert that in the year
1885 tbe avenge rate of dnty npon im
ported goods n little exceeded 47 per ceut.,
but this only means that price* snd values
were unusually low, snd furnishes no justi

tariff laws If amended by this bill is left
conjecture. To base a reonetton of tariff
duties upon tho present business condition
nnd present low vslnes end unprofitable
prices is to assume that tbe present unsatis

"Tbe majority says: ‘The rate of dnty on
imported goods subject to dnty is as low as
five on some aud higher than 200 tier cent,

after this statement, tbat the bill of tbe
coinmitt* e does not correct these glaring
inequalities, but leave* articles dntiable st

that it will be ante to recommend itself to

pcars that a tittle dog belonging to tbe Kan
