TlieW ilsonTariffl 3 ill..: The Ways and Means committee oi the house are hard at work elaborating the new tariff bill, which will bear the name of the chairman, Mr. Wilson. It will,be .more radical than a great - many easy-going people have imagined. The wool-growers of the coun tty will be interested to find that it has already been decided’ that wool is to go on the free list. The lumber interests will have an equal,interest with the flock- masters, because hewn, sawed and manufactured timber will be placed on the same list. ( Furthermore, it is pretty clearly- set down that the live list will have the following articles added to it: Cotton bagging and ties, binding twiue, lead and tin, cop per ore, iron ore aud coal, salt and hemp, vegetables, meats, eggs, game and poultry, beans and seeds; while a long list of other articles are under consideration, with the probability that they will be added to the catalogue of free articles, so as to reduce the revenue about $11,000,000/ , . , On the other hand, it is believed.; that a duty of at least one cent a pound will be imposed upon sugar, and that the present bounty wfll be cut off. This will bring in about $35,000,000 per year. Of course a duty on sugar is neces sarily a revenue duty, because there can not be enough sugar manufactured in the United States to act as a price-reducer through competition. The centra) principal of protection is to adinii free those things we can not pro duce, and put a ciul}' on things' we .can produce/ A “ tariff for rev enue only” mast raise revenue by levying duties on things most largely imported. So sugar musl bear a part,, and the d£ar people go down into their pockets to pay it. Coffee and Lea belong in' the\ same category. We predict, that the people will howl, far more over the coming; “ Wilson, tariff” than they ever have over a protective tariff. ■ - ----------- ---------------- . Emigration to Europe. ! * , ' • 4 [Toledo Blade.] ; ■ ' .At present two persons are leaving the United States to each, \drib coining! ifi.* ' That'is'-' the case at New York, which is the great gateway of immigration. This does not .include travelers, or those who go aBroad for a time on ’business** • It takes in, ¡only. > those who are going with the- intention of .staying/ The stee^h’ge c'apaoity of the outgoing steamers is, for the first ; time in our history, taxed to find’ accommodations for those who desire passage to •Europe. The exodus is the direct result of the business depression. When- ‘ever we have had a panic followed by a stagnation in the industrial world, the immigration figures showed a heavy drop very speed ily. There was, too, some emigra tion at such times, as would nat- > i urally be expected. Aliens found t he conditions here not what they expected, and^o returned®to their former homes. But there has never been.such a heavy outgo of people as,now, nor did the move ment ever set in so quickly. The reason lies at hand. It is the impending change in our in dustnal system, which will be brought about by’ the democratic congress adopting the “ tariff for revenue only,”—or, to call it by its real name* the frqe trade policy. Skilled workmen desirous of bettering their conoition came to the United States, knowing that the wage-rate is at least double that at home, while the items, no greater in many, and only slightly greater in the re mainder. Hence they could save money faster here than at home. The triumph of the democratic party last November rendered jit certain that American wages will be cut down, and that the oppor tuhities for work will be very much lessened—for it is plain fto any thinking man that, the in crease of imports, which.even the democrats in congress expect, will mean a lessening of the amounf o f manufactures here; and’ . it is equally certain that.in very many lines the rate of wages must be cut in two, or those industries will \not be able to compete with for eign products of the same kind under the^coming lqw tariff/ „ - Hence ’ the thoughtful ones among.the European- workers, as soon as the manufacturers and wholesalers begin to take in sail co meet the coming storm, began- to make arrangements to return to their old homes. They realize that, severe as is the depression now, it will be infinitely wqrse as soon as the low tariff is an ;accom- plishedTacf/tfiat it will take sev eral years for the nation to adjust itself to thb radicaUcharige in con ditions, .dnd that'then their condi- Udn.wilii.be no better here than in JEur ope. 7 So .they 1 eave. the cer tainty of dull times and scarce work .to be on hand when the in crease in our imports gives Euro pean inillsand factories a much v ; wider market for their products, which will’ of course give work to thousands more workingmen than their present force. Hence\ t h e heavy ^emigration toEurope. * ■■ ■\ ■ — - ■ A } Descent of the Indians. . Man lived on this continent 'earlier than or at least as early as lived on the European continent, hut it is not believed that the Indians are descended from such early people. . The latest • theory seems to • be that the so-called American Indians are descended from Chinese, who in some .way reached the western coást thous ands of. years ago. The parallel isms between, the customs of the Chinese and the ancient.. Peruvi ans áre often very striking; the systems of government of the two peoples were7simila r the emperor and the inca ootli claimed descent from heaven; both, countries had irrigation canals and in. both countries taxes,were.paid in/ kind and 8tored in. public,.warehouses; both cimntries maintained, public roads* disposed of. their dead . with Humboldt found in-; the Mexican calendar .strong* resemblances to the.ancient calendar-used in Tar- iarv, India and Thibet. The skull of the American, except in its greater length,-greatly resembles that of. the Chinese., , . NEWS FKOM P E A R Y . The Arctic Explorer Preparing* , for. a W inter’s Siege.
