The reduction in the revenues for the
opening quarter of the first fiscal year of
the new taxation laws is, in round num-
bers, fifteen million dollars, giving a
rate of sixty millions a year. This would
leave a probable surplus of one hundred
millions. How to dispose of this surplus
and how to prevent such accumulations
for the future, viii be the principal
questions before the next congress. The
advocates of the highest attainable pro-
tective tariff wish the whole amount to
be taken from the internal revenues, by
the lessening abolition of taxes on liq-
uors and tobacco, while the opposition
would have at least a portion taken from
the taxes on foreign imports.

An examination of the reports made
by department commanders to the secre-
tary of war, ora the causes of assertions
from the army, show the following prin-
cipal causes: First, insufficient quantity
of and want of varietyof food second, the
great amount of manual labor required
to be performed by enlisted men;
third, insufficient qay; fourth, PARTIAL
ty in the administration of justice; fifth
stringency of the regulations governing
guard duty; sixth, the enlistment of bad
men in the service. A majority of the
department commanders express the
opinion that the operation of these
causes could be in a large measure re-
ddced without adding materially TO the
cost OF the army. 1t is thought that the
increase in pay recommended by the
general of the army, from SIS to SIG per
month, combined with a revision of the
r%ations, would of itself largely do away
with the first and third causes named.
