The proposed tanft 011 iumber, the Boston Transcript (Rep. ) says, "is simply a measuie to piek the pockets and crush the industry of a large, usef ui and influential class of American citizens. It is uneconomic, unscientific, suicidal. The statements upon which this schedule was made up are shown to have been insidious and misleading. The result will be to strip the country not of an annually recurring income, but of its white pine principal, which at present rates is within ten years of exhaustion, and also to ruin a large class of business men in this country who deserve better things. It does not seem possible that men claiming to represent tce people will permit sucb a measure to have the force of law. If they do, it will cebase to be folly and become iniquity. "
