1913 the revenue raised was 1888 zoo 600,
in lo75 it was S2S7 .OO0,OO0 in LIS only
SO 100000. The reduction of taxation
is thus sansibly felt II Is also n She a,,hv
sign that the Americans themselves row
hold three-fourths OF the proportion Of the
bonded debt which before the crisis was
held By foreign investors. Thi4 il the
best guarantee agsiust reckless or dishor-
eat dealing with the public l:sbi tiles.
The cooperation Of all these conditions
has prepared the United States ior new
Manifestation oi energy in business When
the Americans once more beg in 20 prosper,
they will once more become good customers
Tor our merchants and manufacturers. The
excess OF their exports over their imports,
which Secretary Sherman selected SIS proof
OF their prosperity. has been the result Of
Their incapac;ty or disinclination to pur-
chase foreign commodities during a period
OF distress and uncertainty. Now that
capital has accumulated and speculation
hiss recovered Its courage, We may expect
10 see the consumption Of Firth manu-
features augmented in spite of hostile
tariff Such a renewed demand vould
help trade and industry in this country
to recover their footing, and to hold their
ground against the protectionist attacks
that are threatened on the continent. We
need not be afraid of fair competition
anywhere II is only when the markets of
the world are closed against US by peoples
inability TO buy What We have got to sell
that our cISe becomes really alarming.

HOUSE.

WASHINGTON, December THE CALLER
les contained the customary crowd at the
opening OF the session OF Congress.
Al noon, Speaker RANDALL raped
the House to order, when the chaplain
made a prayer, and the roll was called.
The roll call showed 229 members. Bar
Leg, of New York, and Majors OF Nevada,
then took the iron clad oath, and Atkins,
Cox aud Garfield were appointed to inform
the President that Congress was In session.
After recess the Presidents message was
received from private secretary Rogers and
read.
When the reading OF the message was
ended, Mr.. Wood, n. W, rose and moved
that il be referred to the committee of the
whole Of the House and ordered printed,
but first he desired TO make some comments
upon it, although, as a whole, the doc
ument was highly satisfactory, yet there
we're some reference in it which should be
met at the earliest practicable moment.
He referred to that part relating to the
Southern States.
He Wood failed to see what the President
saw Of disposition in the South to avoid
or annul in any degree the recent constitu-
tional amendment. He failed to see any
indication in the South at any election, at
any time, under any circumstances, for
series Of years, of an unwilliness to live IN
entire unity with the whole country, in re-
gard to the laws or TO obey the government.
He regretted that the President, who had
commenced his administration with such
noble and patriotic position as against mill
tary de.potism exercised by his predsces-
sor, should now Indicate a change Of policy.
He had watched with interest the
course of the administration in
order to see whether the President
would be forced from the manly and noble
position taken by him. He knew that there
was wing of the Republican party dissat-
isied with that position and it had been
matter Of interest to the whole country TO
know whether the President would contin-
uouslv maintain his attitude. While the
Presiden, expressed his views in a very
mild and dscorous Language, get he indics-
ted quite clearly that the condition of
things in the South was not satisfactory TO
him.
An animated discussion ensued, partici-
pated in by Messrs. Wood, Garfield, Hale
and Cox, q. y
Finally Mr. Woods motion to refer and
print the message was agreed to.
The military academy and fertilization
appropriation bills were reported and no
tice was given of an early action on them.
The House then adjourned.

THEHNDIaN QUESTION.
General Sherman Wrifcs to the
Chairman of ;Ee Joint Co'nsnissfOn
In Reference 10 the Transfer OF the
Indian ga. eau To the War DEPART
lncnt.

mcnt.
WASHING y, December "A commun-
icaticn frun, ieneral W. t. Sherman, adj
dressed 10 the chairman OF the joint COM
mission having under consideration the
questions Of transferring the Indian Bureau
TO the War Department, was to-day laid be-
fore the committee The General, alter
stating his readiness to respond promptly
TO any summon OF the committee, says, Il
am sure from official and personal inter
course that Secretary ecbuIz and Commits
siouer Of Indian Affairs Hoyt have been
extremely anxious to, and have la5ored
hard for an honest administration OF affairs
in the IGdian Bureau a. organized by the
law, and personally know that Mr. Hoyt
went a. far "a he could properly TO prevent
the recent removal OF the Red Cloud
and Spotted Tail band Of Indians
from the Missouri river TO their
present locations which must, he thinks,
Certainaly result in war, ard that this
removal resulted principally from The Pres.
iden,'s promise, based upon the advice oil
Gen. Crook, and further believe that both
Mr.. Schurz and Mr.. Hoyt have done all
that men could do from their quarter to
remove weak and dishonest agents, and To
replace them by honest agents l wish
YOU, and if proper, the public, TO continue
the present conflict or antsgonism, to be
not a personal question OF honesty, but
national AMI necessary conflict oil
antagonistic systems" After Comment
ing at considerable length upon
the previous Indian wars, the
General say ut requires no proPhe, TO
foresee more wars near at hand, especially
with the Sioux recently located on the
I-uper Missouri. He asserts that the pres
ept Indian agents, with these two tribes
Of Sioux on the Missouri river, at the Low
er Brule. at the Cheyenne, Standing Rock
and Fort Peck agencies, are utterly and
ridiculously poweriess TO keep their In
dams peaceable without the aid OF the
army. To me it il a matter OF demonstra
ton, that at the present time and Tor years
to come the Indian Bureau, OF itself,
without the aid OF the army, can
not maintain in peace the larger
tribes oi Indians, and peace Is
essential to enable white emigrants to NIL
I'D the surplus country As farmers, grazers
and miners" The General continues at
length, giving the reason why the Indians
should he controlled by the War Depart
menr, and says that it ought 10 be question,
Of national economy and efficiency, Instead
Of one OF mere patronage.
