A. Internal Revenue.

Mr. Wharton Barker, proprietor OF the
Philadelphia American, is endeavoring to
formulate what may yet prove an import
ant issue in Federal politics. Ii the tarin
is measurably reformed, it is clear that
internal revenue taxes must be abolshed'
for at the present rate of its discharge the
public debt will ere long be eX-
tinguished. Aside from the question
of tariff reform, Mr.. Barker urges
the propriety Of continuing the
internal revenue taxes and distributing
their proceeds among the several states
for the discharge of local Indebtedness.
Various views are taken of his PROPOSE
ton. but the st. Louis Republican,
Democratic journal, is disposed to favor
his proposition. Discussing the question,
it says
ssThe national debt was reduced $134,OOO
900 in the fiscal year that closed last Sat
urday, June 30. The debt is now $780,
600. 900. and the interest thereon is 59,OOO,-
600 a year. The. $134,OOO,OO0 paid on the
debt last year represents the surplus rev.
enue of the gOvernment-thati is, the reve-
nue. which the government has no particu-
lar use for, after defraying all current
expenses and paying out about $lOO,OOO,-
900 in pensions. Under the new tariff and
revenue law passed by the late Congress,
this surplus will not be as large as it has
been, but it will be sufficient, probably,
to pay off the debt in eight years, and
leave the country as free Of obligations
as it was before the war.
'What then? This is an interesting
question, and it will probably become one
of chief concern in our politics. The
government cannot keep on collecting
500, 600, 900 to $50, 600, 900 year over and
above what it needs after the debt shall
have been extinguished. Phe money
must be left uncOllected or got rid Of
somehow. To leave it uncOllected certain
parts of its present revenue system must
be abolished; certain important tariffs or
internal revenue taxes must be repealed.
Either this, or the surplus must be still
collected and distributed among the
States.
.'Why not the latter? The internal
revenue taxes were devised for the sole
purpose of paying the national debt. They
have nearly done it; the day is near at
hand when the work will have been ac-
complished so thoroughly and gently as
to have been scarcely felt by the people.
But State and local debts are quite as
oppressive as national debt-and why
not, therefore, divert the internal revenue
taxes to the eXtinguishment of these
debts Isl, 900, OOO,OOO?)" The subject is
interesting, and is likely to provoke wide
discussion.

A friend Of Mr.. Randalrs tells this
story: "When the grave responsibilities
imposed by the Electoral Commission act
were thrust upon Speaker Randall he felt
that wisdom greater than that of man
was requisite under the great Ordeal-he
knew that divine wisdom was Necessary
and walking into the Speakers private
room, Mr.. Randall closed the door behind
him, and there, solitary and alone, COM
muned with his Maker-he called upon
the God of Nations to aid in guiding him
aright-and from the moment Samuel j.
Randall returned from that communion
with the Great Master he never sweryed
a hairs breadth in the performance of his
duty. and no criticism, however unjust it
may be, can never inJure him in the minds
of the American people who will take the
trouble to review this whole subject of
the Electoral Commission" This was
cOmmendable on the part of Samuel.
Providence may have had something to
do with the counting in of Hayes, but it
is proper to give Him the benefit of the
doubt.

The Milwaukee Wis., Sentinel Rep
says of Minnesota politics: There is a
good deal of personality in Minnesota
politics. Ex-senator Window ought, on
many accounts, to exercise a larger intiu-
ence than he does, but his arbitrary con-
troll OF party affairs during his Senatorial
career, and his contempt for his personal
enemies, have finally endorsed him. He
was without a rival in the control of the
State tor many years, but his enemies
grew in number and bitterness, until now
they are able to defeaI his particular
friends whenever they come to the front.

The Erect of a Change.

There is no reason except the incapacity
and venality of Republican Congresses and
the prodigality and corruption of Republic
can administrations why our entire taxa
ton, direct and indirect, should not be 80
per cent. less than it is, and why our pub
lie debt should not decrease even more
rapidly than the present rate. With a
return to honesty aud economy in adj
ministration and true craftsmanship in
legislation, the prosperity and population
of the United States in the next decade
will be greater than anything known IN
the past history Of the country.

The New York Commercial and FiRGn-
cial Chronicle says that this years cotton
crop will be the greatest ever yet pro-
duced in the South. 1t is estimated at !,
100. 900 bales, which is more than 100000
bales larger than the crop of last year and
half a million larger than that of lSSO-S1,
the largest hitherto recorded. The pres
ent crop, while 80 per cent. larger than
that of the preceding season, is produced
from an acreage 1.55 pc. cent. less, the
plant of 1SS2-S3 having been 16,590,0O0
acres and that of 1SSl-S2 1851, 900. This
great difference in yield is attributed to
the fact that the season of 1SS1-82 was
exceptionally disastrous to cotton Gull
ture, while that of 1SS2-S3 was unusually
favorable. The Chronicles estimate of
the acreage of the crop just planted
that is, the crop of assists 7,449,000
acres, which is the lagest yet reported.

existence of the banks 81, 69S accounts
