SHOULD PAY A TAX.
Senator Lodore Proposes a I'laa to
Increase Itevenae.
Washington, July 3. The provision
for a tax on stock and bond transac
tions In connection with the tariff bill,
which was agreed upon at the caucus
of republican senators, was suggested
by Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts,
and grew out of a statement that with
tho tea and beer provisions withdrawn
the tariff bill was likely to full short
to the extent of $15,000,000 in provid
ing sufficient revenue to meet tho de
mands of the government.
The suggestion as made toy Senator
Lodge was that a tax of two cents
per share should be levied upon every
share of stock sold at a stock exchange
or at any other place, and that a simi
lar tax of two cents should be collected
upon all bonds sold on the stock ex
changes or elsewhere. The caucus ac
cepted the suggestion, but decided to
leave the formulation of the amend
ment, with a possible chunge of rates,
to the finance committee. The com
mittee took tho matter up at its early
meeting Friday, but did not reach a
definite conclusion us to the details in
volved In the proposition. A rough
estimate places the amount of rev
enue the provision will furnish ut $7,
000,000. Peciprocity and retaliation clauses
were adopted by the senate as part of
the tariff bill Friday. The retaliatory
clause provides that whenever any
country bestows an export bounty on
any article there shall be levied. In ad
dition to the duties provided by the act,
an additional duty equal to the amount
of the bounty.
The reciprocity clause empowers the
president, with the advice and consent
of the senate, to make reciprocity
treaties giving 20 per cent, reduction in
duties on designated articles, or plac
ing articles on the free list.
A SPECIAL MESSAGE.
President Mar Ilecommend Creatloa
of Currency Commission.
Washington, July 3. The question
whether the president will send a spe

clined at this time to send a special
currency message to congress regard
ing himself ns in a considerable meos
ure pledged to this course. In fact, it
was seml-officlally onnouneed at the
white house late Friday afternoon that
such n message would be sent to con
gress next week, but some of the presi
dent's most influential advisers on
financial questions are opposed to a
message as impolitic at this time owing
to hostility to a commission on the part
of congress, nnd the final determina
tion, as stated, will not be reached un
til Mr. McKinley returns from Canton.
The matter was under discussion at
the cabinet meeting Friday, but not
In n manner to lead ton definite conclu
sion or policy, and the matter went over
until the president's return to the city
next week, when it is probablo that
Mr. II. II. Hanna, who is chairman of
the executive committee of the Indian
apolis convention, nnd perhaps other
memkers of the committee, will com
to Washington to discuss the situation
with the president and Mr. Gage. Upon
the result of the conference will prob
ably depend President McKlnley's ac
tion as to a special message to con
grcss.
