necessary, the Committee of Ways and Means
can furnish a law for borrowing some more
secret service money,-say halt a million al
once, and be done with it.
We are induced to offer this project with
the more confidence, for another reason;
which is, that we sue no other way OF accom-
inodating all parties. Here every brazon-
faced candidate has fair chance: Besides,
the man to whom the most money is paid for
his pretensions, will surely be the dearest to
the people. We repeat, that all this is offer

Squire. But we don't see why it may not be
a most excellent scheme. We seal it thus:

BY the ship George Washington, arrived at

appear most interesting.

The preceding estimates do not embrace
tho expense incident 10 the proposed en-
crease Of the navy, nor any other expenditure
not vet authorized by law. In order TO meet
any new expenses which may be thus author
lied by Congress-, il will therefore be neccs-
sary to increase the loan to corresponding
amount.
The sums received or to be received on

stated at l2,95o,oco

Ii appears, according to the preceding es.
timatc, that the whole sum TO be borrowed

the actual increase Of debt during that year

or the revenue which will accrue during
the year 1918, and on which the receipts OF
the year 1914 will principally depend, it is
not practicable at this moment TO form cor
rect statement. So far as may be inferred
from the experience of the short period
which has elapsed since the declaration Of
war, it is not probable that the revenue deri-
we'd from customs will exceed the amount OF
five millions five hundred thousand dollars, at
which II had been estimated in former COM
muncation. The duties accrued, or which
will accrue, during the last SIX months OF this
year, after deducting drawbacks and eSpen-
ses Of collection, arc estimated az less than
nine million OF dollars, which, deductins a.
bout FIVE million five hundred thousand coils.

from Great Britain, and ono million tor the
