Show Wood's Tariff Hill uutl the Income In-come lux. Washington, 20. From another correspondent: The underaurrant of opinion here now is that the Wood tari S bill cannot pass at the present Beesion. There ia a growing disposition disposi-tion not to touch the subject, except, niter uare.ut uuiiuerabiuu, lu avoiu mistakes that might prove greater evils than the present crude larifJ. The real pressure for the revival of the income tax come? from the Boutb, which threatens to defeat Wood's bill unless northern thrift is thus plundered plun-dered and punished. But the scheme is unlikely to succeed, such ia the general detestation of the inquisitorial processes by which alone the tax can be collected. j |
