The proposition ito ; reduce the iii- ternal taxes as reported by the House conunittee of -Ways and , Means will be adopted no dodbt. lhe protec- tionists as a class will favor. ' it be cause it will they think further . their own ; schemes aud necessitate the keeping up 6f 'the present war war tariff. '- The, Southern members will vote for it generally because the . system is odious and . the tax is re- -garded as oppressive. It lis stated that' the . supposed j reduction will amount t$68.o6q,oqo, but. as we understand it, this will be the amount if the collections should not be larger than for-last year, j fThere is a strong probability that the - tax; would ex? ed that of 1881 by some $10,000;- on 000 or more if the law be continued. lhe proposed ' reduction is very great. Last year: $137,000,000 was collected. If the bill passes then on that basis over 50. per cent, of the iaxes will be removedi Is! not aucp. bold reduction under the .circum- stances hazardous? Will "riot the tendency be to staye off all important tatifT njf u mgW ig jprobAb ?rit rT tW&V wiirZotL I itv even that the Uongress wnl-at-. - tempt itself to revfee the present ab surd and burdensome tariff. This looks as if the Forty-Seventh Con- gress had no desires or purpose to re lieve the people in that very impor tant ' direction. The probabilitj' is hat a majority of i the present body are protectiomstsj or the' hiffu type; else, they would have felt:. the necessity of taking more positive ac tion than they have taken, h j v Outside of the Uongress there is a steady reaction . progressing against the present burdensome L tariff. In this there can be - no mistakej if we may; take the papers ' of both parties and '.of all sections as indices.. '.The Chicatio Herald is as extreme a pro- teetipnist paper .-:. a as th'Jcoun try af- f ords.
