Internal Revenue Reduction.

The surplus of revenue derived from
the present tariff and the system of in
ternal taxation amounts to about $780,
600, 900 annually, and of this surplus
about $50, 1000. 600 is applied to the pay
ment of the public debt. 1t is evident,
therefore, that a large reduction could
be made in the taxes imposed on the
people, and such reduction can be made
in two ways-either by lowering the
duties on imports and imposing duties
for purposes of revenue only, or
by reducing the internal taxes.
Although Congress could and should
have adopted the former course,
which would have largely increased the
receipts from imports, and soon have
permitted the abolition of internal taxa
ton altogether, it chose to defer legisla-
ton on the tariff till the Tariff Commits
sion shall have made its report in Deem
Der next
1t remains now for Congress to take
the other method of solving the problem.
The protectionists, though prompt to
resist any attempt to interfere with the
system that rebounds so largely to their
advantage, are not averse to a lessening
Of the taxes on spirits and tobacco, and
the like, and so a bill is pending in the
House dealing with the question of re-
ducing the internal taxes 1t is possible
that it may be acted upon at the present
session, and it is to be hoped that when
it comes up for discussion every effort
will be made by the friends of reform to
render it as sweeping as prudence will
require. The whole system of internal
taxation grew out of the necessities of the
war, and the need of it has long since
ceased. With a tariff for revenue these
internal taxes could be entirely abolished,
and, even with the present tariff, they
can be largely reduced without inconve-
nience to the government. Under the
present system of the government large
surplus is wrung from the people, which
is drawn npon by Congressman as cleo
pioneering funds in the shape of appro-
priatiOns for trout streams and fifth rate
public buildings IN towns of little or no
importance. A large surplus is wrong
IN principle, for the government, being
simply trustee for the people, should
not demand from them more than its
necessary and legitimate expenses. An
overlooking treasury is not only prima
facie evidence of popular oppression,
but it affords terrible temptation for
jobberY and corruption.

season. In the immediate Vicinity OF
Natchez there have been thousands Of these
beautiful animals which have crossed the
river within the space of few miles above
and below the city. Worn and exhausted
as they have been after their long swim
across the swollen river, they would have
fallen an easy prey to the pot hunters who
only hunt for profit, had 1t not been for the
extraordinary exertions of the true sports
men of the county. On Sunday last several
gentlemen in their Sunday rambies found q
number Of deer that had fallen into a
ravine, from which they found it impossible
to get out. With true humanity they went
to work and dug 8 pathway by which the
little animals could find their way out OF the
r3vine, helped them to mount to the top of
the bank, and sent them on their way re-
joicing to the green woods Of the country.
Predictions are made in England that
ivory will soon become so scarce that its use

have been rapid advances in the London
market price of this article. the latest ad-
vance having been from SIS per hundred
weight TO $50 while another is talked of,
Only 81 tons were offered at the last quar-
terry sale, against the 122 tons in April of
last year. Oh Cape ivory there has been
continued scarcity, while of the west coast
of African supply there is much less in hand
than formerly. Stores in London docks now
amount to only 1873 tons, compared with 213
tons for last year. One dealer has just had
involced to him no fewer than 500 tusks, all
of which he expected fortnight ago to dis

Tariff Commission,
1t. Louis Republican

The protectionists, having succeeded
in getting their Tariff Commission bill
through Congress, are now taking the
next logical step in the project for re-
forming the tariff schedule in their
favor They seem to think that the
only use of tariff is the protection of
a few favored manufacturing interests
at the expense of all others, and i il not
surprising therefore to IearR that they
are besieging President Arthur with
clamors for the appointment of repre-
sentatiVes of this, that and the other
special industry on the proposed Com
mission. Nine Commissioners are to
be appointed, and it is probable
the Eastern States will claim 81
least six of them, The Pennsylvania
iron interest will claim one; the New
Jersey silk interest another; the Massa-
chusetts cotton interest another the New
England fishing interest another; and the
Louisiana sugar interest another; and in
this way the leading special industries
protected under the present tariff will
attempt to control the commission, leav-
ing the far greater interests that are
not protected, but taxed under the
existing tariff, without a champion to
present their claims. A commission
thus made up would give US One-sided
report in favor of high duties. 1t would
not attempt to discover all the important
facts bearing on the subject. 1t would
not even want to. 1t would overlook
the claims of agriculture and of COM
mercei it would not regard the claims of
manufacturers as general interest; for
the protectionists assume that four kinds
of manufacture should be taxed for the
support of fifth, and that the fifth is
the only one out of the five that has any
right to be heard in the arrangement OF
the tariffs.

The result of the recent elections in
Petersburg, Va, indicate that Malone
ism is decidedly on the wane in that
State. Petersburg is not only Mahone's
home, but, as it contains large negro
population, it always polls heavy Re-
publican vote. Governor Cameron last
November carried the city by nine
hundred and eighty.seven majority, and
received a majority in every district,
yet at the municipal election last Thurs
day, wherever the issue was squarely
against Mahoneism, the majorities were
so small as to be insignificant. This was
conspicuously shown in the cases of
John G. Armistead and E. W. Cormack,
who were Readiuster candidates for
Clerk of the courts and City Treasurer,
respectively, and were special friends
and pets of the little repudiator. Yet
Armistead was elected by majority of
only 924, and Gormack by one of only
800. This result was entirely unex
pected, and is regarded as a virtual de
feat of the unholy alliance between the
Radicals and the Readjusters.

BradStreets latest reports regarding
the business situation and the general
condition of the country are not very
encouraging. Special kilograms to that
journal from twenty-five cities indicate
that while business is in most cases quiet
or dull, still the crop prospects continue
to be undisturbed by any authentic re-
ports of seriously injurious weather or
insects. The INJURY done to wheat does
not appear to be of wide extent or ire
parable. At most, local delays of crops
will, as far as now known, constitute the
damage done. From no points except
Chicago, Minneapolis and San Francisco
are there any signs of special activity in
the distribution of general merchandise.
On the other hand. in some lines the
more important cities have disposed of
stock considerably in excess of that sold
during three weeks of May, 1881. Ac-
cording to these reports the industrial
outlook Is an ominOus one.

Since the Republican party came in
power it mas made itself conspicuous for
class legislation. Among the prominent
measures of this character for which it
is responsible are the protective tariff
and anti-Chinese immigration. The
first has fostered q wealthy class at the
expense of the people, and has tended to
breed much of the discomfort now max
ing itself apparent in the labor troubles
Of the West. The latter has established
a discrimination against immigrants con-
trary to the spirit Of our institutions, and
likely to create trouble. Certainly by it
the old native American party has been
provided with wedge which the yet
living adherents Of that party may see ut
70 drive home.

A Washington special states that Uni
ted States Treasurer Gilfllan thinks that
there will be some difficulty in settling
up the accounts of the national banks
which have gone into liquidation in con-
sequence of the expiration of theirchar-
tiers. The charters of the First National
Bank of Washington, Iowa, the First
National Bank of Fremont, Ohio, and
the Second National Bank of Dayton,
Ohio, have expired, and the q lestion to be
settled is how shall the circulation be re-
deemed. These banks have not deposited
in the Treasury legal tenders to theamount
of their outstanding circulation, and the
Treasurer does not see how he is to raise
the money by selling the bonds deposited
for the circulation, there being no law
authorizing such case. 1t is singular
fact that the law authorizing the estab-
lishment of national banks did not con-
tain any provisions as to how the bank
affairs should be wound up in the event
of the expiration of their charters. The
law is siDgularly silent on this point, and
in the absence of legislation Treasurer
Gillian does not see how he is to take
care of the circulation of these banks.
