Revenue Reform.

The New York World insists that
the Democrats of the United States
with few exceptions, favor revenue
reform which means a reduction oil
both expenditures and taxation,
bringing the former down to an
honest business scale and placing
no greater direct or indirect bur.
dens Of taxation on the people than
the necessities of the government
thus economically administered re.
Quire. 1t raises the amount Of rev.
enue needed for the purposes Of a
clean government. The Demoora,
Cy favOrs a tariff so framed as to in
Ciden!ally protect Americay indus,
tries; tariff from which labor will
not obtain less and capital more
than its share Of protection.
The World then proceeds to illus,
trato the situation as follows:
The last fiscal year we collected
from tariff taxation S2l4,706 4es
and from internal revenue t,An
tion sl44,72O,S6S, realizing from
these two sources u revenue Of
1850 26,S6l.
The total ordinary expenses Of
the Government, including inter.
est on the debt, amounted to s2B5,.
4OS,l37. So we had a surplus from
the two sources Of s94,OlS,727 over
and above ordinary expenses.
The minor sources Of revenue
swclled this surplus to Sl3l,OOO,.
II, under Democratic pulley, we
had taken sS5,0OOOOO from the
sl2 OOO,OOO collected On tobacco by
removing the duty from all but
high priced cigars and s75,OOO,OOO
from the tariff taxation, aud had
cut down the ordinary cxpendi.
lures Of the Government $4,000.
GOO, We should still have had a sur.
