Washington, Jan. IS. — Now
that Secretary Carlisle has taken
action 011 the bond question there
is a feeling of relief among the
treasury officials, who have l>een
viewing with uneasiness the in-
vading of the gold reserve. The
printing will bo pushed rapidly,
but the bonds can hardly be ready
for delivery Ix'fore Feb. 1. They
will lx'ar interest from that date,
as announced by Secretary Car-
lisle. Among the large crowd of
callers waiting to see Secretary
Carlisle was a New Yorker who
had come to announce personally
that he was willing to take the
whole £50,000,000 in bonds to
issued. A request for his name
was refused.
The aggregate amount of offers
received Ix-fore the circular was is-
sued is *40,000,000. All of the
offers so far made, it is said, at
the treasurydepertment have come
from persons and firms 111 New
\ oi k city. One offer to take £100,-
000 at *118 has been received. It
was announced at the treasury de-
partment that Secretary Carlise
would decline to make public tin
name of the patrons offering to
take bonds, the amount they suit
scril»ed for or the figures they of-
fered for them. To make public
the figures, it was pointed out,
would give late bidders an oppor
tunity to offer better terms than
those offered by the earlier bid
ers.
It was sail unofficially, how-
ver, that the 450,000,000 offer
was at the minimum premium of
*117.22:}. There is said to be no
ikelihood of the acceptance o
this or any similar offer, as it is
•ontrary to the secretary's desirt
0 make the loan a popular one to
which the public generally may
subscribe. On this theory it is
iroposed to encourage offers foi
small lots from all sections of th<
•ountry rather than to have tliw
•titire loan taken by a few dealers
n large blocks. The idea natur
illy includes the hope that the
small denominations will be taken
n preference to the larger ones.
1 his, of course, would involve the
ssue of a great many more bonds.
It Is believed at the treasury de-
mrtment, from orders already re-
vived that the total offerings* will
iggregate nearly £200,000.000. and
that the price will reach £120.

if registered bonds. In case it is
deemed advisable arrangements
will be made for £500 coupon and
*5000 registered bonds.
'I lie plates for the new bonds
were made at the bureau of en-
graving and printing last spring
by order of ex-Secretary Foster in
anticipation of an issue of bonds
during his administration, but the
>lan for their issue was finally dis-
approved by President Harrison.
The new issue of bonds will l>e
sold only for gold. Official re-
turns made to Comptroller Eckles
by national banks on Dec. 1!> last
show that the national banks of
New \ ork city alone hold more
gold than the treasury of the Uni-
ted States, or rather, that it con-
tains "free gold. ' In the figures
iriven gold certificates are included
in the gold. The returns in the
irincipal cities show: New York
48.{,000,000 Baltimore £1,979,000,
Brooklyn £450.000, Washington
£900,000, Cincinnati £1,200,000,
New Orleans £450,000, St. Louis
£2,400,000, Kansas City £1,015,-
000, Boston £9,200,000, Chicago
£19,700,000, Louisville £290,000,
San Francisco £1,330,000, Mil-
waukee £900,00.
Treasury officials who have taken
the trouble to search the records
call attention to the fact that dur-
ing the pendency of the Walker
tariff in 1857 revenues declined
and a number of loans and bond
issues were made to kee}» up cur-
rent expenses and pay maturing
>onds.
A report reached the capitol
today that the United States su-
preme court had enjoined the is-
sue of bonds as proposed by Sec
retary Carlisle! Clerk McKenney
of the court when informed of it
said: "It's a fake, pure and sim-
ple. There is not even a basis for
such a story."
the important income
tax, has been agreed to by the
democratic members of the ways
ami means committee. It is prob-
able the measure will be submitted
to the house tomorrow. As yet
details of the income tax, as finally
agreed upon, have not been mad'e
public. The Associated Press is
able to give a very complete sum-
mary of the essential features of
the tax as it will l>e submitted to
the house. The bill provides that
the income tax is to go into effect
Jan. 1. 1895, and that the first col-
lection on incomes is to be made
011 July 1, 189.). All classes of in
comes are included in the meas-
ure, and the uniform rate of 2 per
cent tax on incomes over £4000 is
fixed. All important detail of the
bill is the method provided for the
levy and collection of the tax. It
is made obligatory 011 all persons
receiving individual incomes of
over £3500 to make a return to the
local collector of internal revenue.
These returns are gone over by
the revenue collector and a taxa-
ble list is made up of those whose
incomes exceed £4000. No tax is
levied on those making a return of
about£3500 and under £4000, but
the committee deemed it expedient
to leave this margin of £500 below
the exemption point in order that
the returns might l»e sure to show
all who are subject to the tax.
In case a person having an in-
come of over £3500 tails to make
return it becomes the duty of the
revenue assessor to make inquiry
as to the amount of the person's
income. If this examination dis-
closes that the income it above
*1000 the income in subjected to
twice the ordinary tax under the
law, and the party failing to make
his return is deemed guilty of a
criminal offense and is made sub-
ject to fine and imprisonment.
I he main purpose in framing the
above provision has been to avoid
an inquisitorial operation of the
law. The committee believes that
it would do away with the neces-
sity of having assessors prying
into the private business of the
people unless the latter have a
taxable income and try to evade
th*1 law. It is estimates that not
more than 85,000 persons will be
subject to the tax, so tnat a great
majority of citizens will not have
to make returns.
Provision is also made by which
110 information can be made public
as to the details of the income r<
ported by citizens. If such detail
become public it might injure tin
credit of a firm or individual. Foi

INCOME TAX MEASURE.
Washington, Jan. 18.—The full use"7blotters
1"' bill,
this information concerning in
comes made subject to criniina
prosecution, with heavy fine ant
penalty. Particular provision is
made for the collection of the in-
come tax due 011 salaries, not only
official salaries, but the salaries o.
individuals received from business
firms, corporations, etc. The in
dividual receiving the salary does
not pay the tax, but it is made the
duty of every government, state,
county and municipal disbursing
officer to retain 2 per cent of all
salaries over the taxable amount.
This 2 per cent is to l»e taken out
of the salaries in bulk at the last
payment of the salaries for the
year.
The tax upon corporations in
eludes every phase of corporation
stock. This tax is general and is
without the £4000 exemption al-
lowed to individual incomes. It
is provided that in collecting the
tax on corporate stock, the corpor-
ation shall pay the tax and deduct
the amount from the dividends
due to stockholders. It is made
the duty of each corporation to
take 2 per cent of each annual cor-
porate income from the amount set
apart for each stockholder and pay
the total to the internal revenue
collector of the locality. Severe
penalties are provided for failure
to make the proper deduction from
the dividends of stockholders or
for failure to make the return to
the reAenue collector. The entire
business of levyiug and collecting
the tax is placed in charge of a
deputy collector of internal rev-
enue. The different revenue dis-
tricts af the country are provided
with deputy collectors who will
especially manage the collection of
the income tax.
The measure as finally agreed
upon is a detailed elaboration of
the plan for an income tax pro-
posed some months ago by Kepre-
sentative Hall of Missouri.
