FROM WASHINGTON.
INCREASED TAXATION.

INCREASED TAXATION.
WASHINGTON, Feb. s.-Sec'y Rich
ardson has, it, appears, again demon
strated that he lives and learns. lie
now states that instead of deficit OF
$4,000, 600, which he feared short
time since, he is convinced that it will
be safe to drop twelve and call it thirty
millions. He SUI, tests that instead OF
1nakiuga loan Of any sort, this def
cheney can be supplied by increasing
the tax on tobacco of all grades to 80
cents pound, the present rates being
20, and by raising the tax on whisky
from seventy cents to one dollar per
gallon. Meantime, the Ways and Means
Committee still hold to their belief
that the deficiency is not likely to ex-
coed $15, 200, 900, and that tho Secretary
is merely ambitious of paying off a
part of the debt, and cries ssdeRciency"
to obtain the wherewithal. They also
continue to assert that an increase OF
tax on whisky to eighty cents per
gallon is all that is necessary to be
done.
DAWES ON THE TREASURY.
Mr.. Dawes, chairman of the Com
mittee on Ways and Means, in long
speech, severely criticised the financial
COllulClOu VI lA0 AAO SAAo"SN
n deficit of s52, OOo, 900, which might be
decreased somewhat by tnrning in un-
expended balances. He charged Con-
gress with wastcful appropriations and
said no party could afford to go to the
country with increased taxation, but
that the tax on tea and coffee should be
restored, and that on whisky and to-
bacco increased. Congress, he remark
ed, should resort to one of three meas.
ures-lncreaa taxation, a loan, OF
reduction of expenses. Regarding tax.
alton, he said it would be the first time
the industries of the country had beer
taxed to meet current expenses and o
previous reductions TO relieve the coun
try from taxation, we had gone more
rapidly than circumstances justified
but a proposition would be fatal to the
country. The speech occupied about
two hours, and created a prof and i'm
preston. No more violent illustration
oftinancial mism Management could have
been uttered, even by an opponent OF
the preaent party in power.
