Secretary FOlSer's Suggestions.
NEW YORK, November 24;h.-The Suns
| Washington special has the following on the
| forthcoming report of Folger The Secretary
| viii estimate the surplus at the end of the
h'cal year of 1884 at $50, 900 co., He relies
| upon an important decrease in the. river and
haroor bill, and, 10 fact, in all appropriations,
| He will hint at the tendaucy to Congressional
extravaganza, aud will intimate that this ex
| trsvagance hes been f1stered by a knowledge
that there would be surplus of S145. coo coo
exclusive OF the sinking fund, at the end of the
last fiscal year. The Secretary VIII urge a
reduction OF taxation on the ground that large
surpiusss tend to extravaganza, and will
| recommend that the debt ought not to he
paid off more rapidly than it comes due. He
VIII remind Congress that this can ba done
simply by meeting the sinking fund. He
Will oppose the abolition of the internal
revenue tax, but will go further than he did
last year respecting the reduction Of these
taxes. He will still urge that spirits and
tobacco be taxed, but will suggest the
amount which may be safely reduced, and
also recommend that the pending tax bill
be passed. He will further recommend
tariff reduction, but will make no
special recommendations on this SUI iect, ex-
cept to call attention to the work of the Tariff
Commission. He will cOnfine himself to
recommending a careful and thorough revi.
sion # the tariff, though he will suggest re-
ductloA OF the sugar tax. and that on iron
and steel manufactures. He will also call the
atteutlon Of Congress to the relation Of Ma
lonAI banks to the bonded debt of the coun-
try, suggesting that unless properly regulated
rapid extin guishment of the currency rnay
follow, because banks will refuse to take fours
and four and-a-hslfs at premium to replace
three ard three and-a-halfs, prefsrring TO retire
their circulation. The Secretary will recon-
mend, therefore, that il the revenues are not
reduced the banks be allowed to replace three
and hree-and-a.hslfs with four and four. and.
a-halfs, giving circulation for the full face
value. 1t is plain that the Secretary and
President mean to do all in their power this
winter to bring Cor gress TO its senses. and
that John Sherman is GO be an adminis5r stion
ally on the floor of the Senate. H will see
the Secretary through, and give him such ad-
vlc5 as he may deem best Ia other words,
Sherman's sway over the Treasury is restored.
The Internal Revenue system.
WASHINGTON, November oath. - Until
within few days Commissioner Raum was
disposed to make no recommendation looking
to reduction In the internal revenue taxes
IL is believed now, however, that he will ad-
wise such reduction as will leave the aggre-
gate income of the Government from That
source at about 800. 600, GOO per annum. 1t
Is known that the President, while firmly OPP
posed to any proposition looking to the abuli.
ton at this time of the entire internal reve-
nue. system, believes the time has come when
substantial relief can safely be accorded the
taxpayers, and that a portion of this relief
should come from redu5sion of internal
revenue taxation. With tits view tine Cahi-
net Is IN entire accord, and the President in
his message will recommend the alb litiOn Of
all internal revenue taxes except those upon
tobac2o In its various forms, and upon dis
titled spirits and fermenled liquors, and ex-
cept, also, the special tax upon manu-
facturers of and dealers in sucd articles,
with reduction in the tax upon whiaky
and tobacco upon a basis of the bill which
passed the House of Representatives at the
last session OF Congress-. A special tax is
deemed essential, to afford officers of the
Government 3 proper supervision of these
articles, for the prevention of fraud. II this
recommendation be adopted, the remaining
sourC e5 of internal revenue will yield, accord
ing TO the estimates of the Commissioner Of
Internal Revenue, shout 500, 900, 900 per
aDnUm. Any further reduction Of internal
revenue taxes than that proposed, it Il
held, would compel the Government TO rely
almost entirely upon import duties for the
Necessary income, and would render any re-
vision or reduction of tariff duties dagger
GUS, if not impossible. The President is
firmly opposed TO the adoption OF any policy
that would create such contingency, and
will, in his forthcoming message, urge upon
Congress the Importance of an inmediste re-
vision OF the tariff, with view to reducing
the aggregate income Of the Government to
such an amount is absolutely required to
meet the interest on the public debt and the
current and ordinary expenses OF the Gov
eminent.
