TUESDAY. MARCH 2.

The new revenue bill presented by Mr..
Dawes had a very narrow escape In the
Bouse OF Representatives on Tuesday.
After discussion extending through sew
eral days, the act as originally prepared oy
the committee on ways and means was 30
overloaded with Objectionable amendments
hat the father of the bill refused to recog-
nize his own child, and moved to
strike Out the enacting clause ana
thus defeat the measure. The House re-
fusing to assent to this proposition, he Sc
cured the adoption of substitute, which
preserves the main features of the bill as at
first reported. 1t provides for tax upon
whisky of ninety cents per gallon, instead of
one dollar, increasing the present duty
twenty cents instead of thirty, while the in
crease Of tax upon spirits already
manufactured and in store is abandoned.
The advance in tobacco is fixed at four
cents per pound, one dollar per thousand for
cigars and twenty-five cents per thousand
for cigarettes. The section in regard TO
sugar and mol2sses remains in effect as pro-
posed In the original bill, while the attempt
10 free matches from stamp duty IL aban-
.doned. The ten per cent. horizontal advance
on import duties has been retained. The
measure was rejected by a vote ofl2S TO 1lS.
which was, under the circumstances, a re-
markedly close ore The main objection to
the bill is that such an increase In taxation
ia by no means necessary. With ordinary
honesty, to say nothing of care and econ
omy, the government expenditures should
not exceed the limits of the present revenues,
and the receipts from the new taxes will
simply be dissipsted by the extravagance
of the administration. The reduction
which is now reported was made in 1872.
but it is significant fact
that the ordinary expenses of the govern
ment for that year were only Sl5S POI ESQ,
while TOR 1874 they were Sl94, lls,SS5. The
difference between these figures Is greater
than the amount which Mr.. Dawes hopes to
raise by his new tax measure. There is
little use in adding $50, 100000 to the rev.
~enue when more than $40, 100000 are added
to the expenditures. Paying the debt at
this rate is even worse than pouring water
into a sleye. Ii anything could be
more fatal defect in bil than the fact that
itinposes unnecessary burdens, then the fact
-Gnat u OiSPOS6s Ol the "eiSLS HlOSs uANASSig
would be serious objection TO the measure
proposed by Mr.. Dawes. The advance made
in the import duties renders the tariff the
most oppressive of any ever imposed, and,
through the Iuinous system OF protection
sets one class of the people to work paying
tribute to the government with one hand
and paying tribute to the favored classes
with the other. 1t is significant fact, that
the movement to restore the income tax
which seemed at one time during the debate
of Tuesday to find 40 much favor, was ut
-terly abandoned by the majority. On the
whole, tbs last act of Mr.. Dawes as leader OF
the House, will prove most vulnerable
point in the party record.

The New York Tribune has compiled a
table showing the increase in the appropria-
tions for public buildings during che last
EVERYONE years. which has especial
intersst in view of the PROPOSED incbesse OF
taxation. The amounts expended during
the fret nine years in the table include
appropriations for roads and bridges, while
the appropriations for public buildings
during tina seven following years are not

This is not quite as bs.i showing as the
expenditure Of fifteen million dollars in a
single city for streets and sewers, but 1t in
dicstes considerable love for the fine arts oy

architectural genius have expended s25,737,-
