revenue system is just about equal
to our annual surplus of income above
expenditure. The advocates of high
tariffs will accomplish their object
better, therefore, by agitating for
the abolition of the internal taxes than by
presenting easily refuted arguments in
support of their peculiar ideas. The mat
ter will be better understood from the in
spection of the following facts: The total
ordinary receipts of the Treasury in the
year ended June 80, 1881, were $3.50, 1872
292, of which sum $19S, 9,676 was derived
from tariff charges on imported goods,
So, 35S,211 from miscellaneous sources,
and $135, 264, 1856 from internal taxes. The
larger part of this last class of|receipts
was obtained from the tax ON spirits,
tobacco and fermented liquors. but small
revenue being derived from bank checks,
matches, proprietary medicines, perfume
ry, the deposits in national banks, and the
amount of their circulation. An effort
sion of Congress to abolish the
last mentioned taxes, leaving those on
spirits, tobacco and fermented liquors
untouched, and the tax reduction bill as
amended in the Senate will doubtless come
up for consideration in December. The
friends of a low tariff will probably seek
to have the consideration of that scheme
postponed until the Tariff Commissions
report comes up for action. The receipts
from internal taxes for the fiscal year
ended June 80, 1882, were SAG, 100000, the
annual increase being about $11,0O0,000.
Four completed months of the current
fiscal year have passed, and from the
receipts of these four months 1851, 1897 ,536)
it is estimated that the amount Of
internal taxes in the year ending June 80,
1888, will prove to be from $685. 900 to
$155, 900, 600, a slight falling off in the rate
of increase being reported. This is the
amount of the tax which Mr.. Kelley, of
Pennsylvania, thinks should be Topped off
at one blow. Mr.. Belmont, Mr..
Hewitt and others of like low tariff views,
think it better to divide the amount of re-
ductiOn between the tariff and the internal
taxes in such way as to take off about
$S0,000,000 of the tariff burden and
$75,000,000 of the war tax. The
ON spirits from 80 to so cents a
cigars from Sc to SO per 1000, beer from
92% to so cents, licenses about so per
cent, and that all other internal revenue
taxes be abolished. There is no good
reason, it is held, why the public debt
should continue to be paid off at
the present rapid rate. The cry of the
people is for rest from some part of their
burdens. Few people, it is to be hoped,
consume large quantities of spirits, to-
bacco or fermented liquors, and to them
the removal of the tax on such articles
will bring little or no relief, but every one
is interested to have cheaper clothing,
cheaper sugar and cheaper wares of all
sorts

A Monstrous Wrong.


The State Board of Canyassers yester-
dav threw out the Gloucester returns be-
cause of an alleged infOrmality about the
seal, and gave the certificate for the FIRST
district to Mayo, the Coalition candidate.
From all we know of the facts, this was
monstrous wrong. 1t is greatly to Gov.
Cameron's credit that he was not party
to il.
The board and their friends VIII no
doubt quote the GoOde case as precedent
iustifying their action. The two cases are
not parallel. In the Prince George re-
turns there were no such evidences of au-
thenticity as the Gloucester returns bore,
Mr.. Garrison will, of course, contest
the seat. The Democratic House Will do
him Justice. Meanwhile this action OF the
Board of Canvassers will stimulate MI;
Garrison's and Mr., Massey's friends and
supporters TO earnest work III procuring
and putting in shape the evidence OF
frauds committed by the Coalitionists on
November !.

CURRENT COMMENT,
Free whisky for the Iron Men.
<NIs,,-,o TT.fI,stz


Washington information is to the effect
that Pig-Iron Kelley will not succeed in
his plan of abolishing the internal revenue
system and putting whisky on the free
list for the good of the ''iron men," A
number of Democrats are opposed to it as
protectionist device, and it seems to
meet with general opposition and ridicule
among the Republicans; The tax ON
whisky will not be abolished-it seems
almost as safe to predict that it will not
be reduced. 1t will be remembered that
the Republican caucus of the House voted
decisivelv last session against any reduc-
ton of the tax on whisky. The Republic
can members, especially those of the West,
seem to have been greatly strengthened in
this position by the course of politics in
that region. All the members from me
West saw i'm the strongest terms that the
tax on whisky must be maintained, and
that the Republican party cannot afford to
abandon the attitude taken last session.

On the subject of the hog crop the st.
Louis Rural World says: "Hog meat
will be high throughout the winter (pork
now at fifteen and bacon at eighteen to
twenty cents retail J, and with a good sup
plv of corn on hand the farmers can afford
TO hold back for month or two, and not
play into the hands of the manlpulators
by rushing into the market with ther
spring pigs through fear of a decline IN
prices.v The deficit in the hog crop may
sustain the high prices the World so con-
fidentlv anticipates, but the tendency Is
downward. and We should think the eX-
traordinary grain crops throughout the
country. furnishing a larger and better
supply of poultry, beef, mutton, ETC., and
increasing at an early period the prospects
of the hog crop for the next year, would
tend 10 weaken the market rapidly as the
winter advances,

Mr.. Sabine Morse has determined to
produce his Passion play in New York
despite public sentiment against it, and
Mr.. William VI. Wannemacher, young
temperance lecturer and preacher of Phila-
delphia, is TO enact the part Of the Saviour.
He is described as young man of me
dunn height, with finely chiseled features
and attractive eyes. 1t is said that some
wears ago, when Mr.. Morse, the author of the
drama, produced it in San Francisco, Mr..
Wannemacher was much impressed by 1t.
He became imbued with a strong religious
feryor, and entered a theological seminary
in san Francisco. While engaged in his
studies he made temperance lectures,
which were very successful. Being struck
with the part of the ''Nazarene" in the
plav he came to Philadelphia, and during
the past three years has been studying the
character. When Mr.. Morse determined
to reproduce the play in New York, Mr..
Waanemacher offered his services and
they were accepted. Mr.. Wannemacher
believes the play will be the means of con-
verting many people TO belief in the
Saviour. He declares that he feels the
part which he will perform.

The coalition regulators of Virginia
have plaved the same game in the First
district of that State which the Democrats
have tried to play upon Chalmers in the
Second Mississippi district, and have
taken advantage of a tlimsy technically
about a seal or something to throw oct
enough votes for Mr.. Garrison in Glou-
cester county TO give his seat to his Co
alition opponent, Mayo, by one single vote.
1t is to be hoped the Forty-eighth Congress
will be just, and while giving
Chalmers the seat to which he is
undoubtedly elected, also show the
regulators that they cannot deprive Mr.
Garrison of his seat, to which he has been
returned by his constituents. The trick
ofthe Mahoneites will give decided color
TO the Rev. Mr.. Massey's charges that he
was cheated of his election as Congress
