ford's sohcitude To provide for the supposed
deficit IN 1895 and 1926. by change of the
Farilf, with his hibitual practice since 1870
From that year until the latter part of 1922,
there remained charged on the sinking fund
s 900 ,000,which remained unpaid simply on
the ground. that the revenue was not sufficient.
Here then was an actual, and not conjecturaI
and distant deficit, of greater amount, which
the Secretary made effort to meet by
change OF the Tariff or otherwise and which
remained unpaid for more than three years.
How can his solicitude To provide for dis
tant and uncertain deficit, he reconcIlrd with
ms indifference To one ofgreater amount, not
uncertain but actually existing. BY turning
to tn flies ofihe National Intelligencer, which
Is understood To he an official paper and in

they say nothing ofthe deficit ofNe Treasury
IN speaking of the proposed alteration of the
