lFron. the Na,ionai Journal

various publications respecting falling off in the
revenue, we have made the proper inquiries on the
subject, and now communicate the result TO our
readers, being well convinced that it will be no
less gratifying 10 them than il has been to Us.
In regard to the present year, we learn that the
actual receipts into the Treasury will amount TO
the full sum estimated by the Secretary of the
Treasury al the commencement of the last session
of Congress, which, as will be by refereace
to his annual report, was 1927 500 600.
In regard to the year 1927, no estimate was
submitted to Congress by the Secretary; but it is
evident, from his report, tina, he looked for de-
crease In the importatons during the present year,
and, consequently, that he anticipated some dimi-
mutton in the amount of customs in the next year.
We learn, however, that the returns already
celved, justify the opinion that the actual receipt
into the Treasury, during the year 1927, will be
amply sufficient for all the various branches of the
publrr expenditure, including the annual applica-
ton OF ten millions to the principal and interest Of
the public debt
The Session of Congress being so near at hand,
1t Is not necessary to enter into further explana-
tions. From these facts, however, it is manifest
that there Is no deficiency 10 the revenue, and that
the estimates OF the Secretary of the Treasury will
have been fully realixed"
We know not wba the editor of the National
Journal may understand by a revenue " amply suf-
hcient; but If it should decline in other ports as
ceivabie in 1927, will be at least 6 millions less
than that OF 1926. Nor have we any more en-
couragins expectations for 1898. Are the nation
aware that II will take two years to restore con-
merce TO Its wonted activity And are we not
gradually destroying our revenue by our prohi5i.
tory duties? We would now gravey inquire, if
any man, having any pretensons TO the character
OF statesman, will say, that this is q proper
moment virtually to prohibit the importation

with all due Difference venture to remark
mat the above editorial paragraph is written with
out book; and certainly contains a has.y conces-
sion, which we confess we were not prepared TO
expect in the official journal at Washington and of
which time will inevitably expose the sad falIacy

congressional Districts, was taken up in commit
tee, and reported to The House, when on the final
question " shall this bill now pass,'' il was decid
ed in the Affirmative yeas SO, nays rs Thus, at
least as lar as the voice of the Senate goes has this
offspring OF party excitement received its finishing
stroke. a motion may be made this morning TO
reconsider this decision, but I do not believe il
will succeed, or if it does succeed that il will
change the vote here given. In the House ma
Jority equally decisive, in proportion 10 the num-
Der OF votes, will be found in favor of its repeal.
