THE TARIFF EIPORTS.

The Tariff bill agreed upon by the Democrats
of the Ways and Means Committee is vicious
and ineXcusable measure. This is made more
apparent by the two reports to he presented to
the House on the subject. Many of the mis-
statements and fallacies in the majority report
are exposed by the Republican minority To
undertake to correct them all would be use
less task.
A stupendous Llunder concerning the alleged
surplus is made the excuse for presenting the
bill. Mr. Morn isOn, who is responsible for the
majority report says that the annual surplus
can safely be estimated to exceed $50, 000, 600 !;
but he does not give any figures to sustain such
an estimate He places the receipts for the
present fiscal year at $335.000,0O0. an i'll
crease of 81 100000 over last year. But he
does not state that the estimates by the present
administration for the annual expenditures ag-
grega.e 1898, ,552, or an excess of
$4,jS9, 900 over Mr.. Morrison's estimate Of the
receipts This estimate of the annual expendi-
lures however must be largely increased to
include matters already passed upon by Con-
gress. Over $G,00O,000 annually must be
added for tho increased pensions voted to
widows and dependent relatives. The Mexican
Pension bill passed by the House will add about
5000, 900 more. After adopting that M asure
to benefit chiefly the people of the South, the
House will hardly refuse to pass the bill to re-
peal the act limiting the payment of arrears to
pensioners of the late war; Indeed, this bill has
already been favoiaby reported to the House.
Should it become law, it will add at least
S15OO0,000 annually to the expenditures.
Bills involving an expenditure OF over
81, 900, 900 for pubic buildings, not included
in the annual estimates, have already passed In
the House or Senate and many n ore are pend
ing. The River and HarbOr bill as reported to
the House exceeds the estimate of the Secretary
of War by over $5,O0O,OOO. This does not in
clude expenditures for the Ilenncpin and other
proposed canals. Ii the educational bill should
pass the House, as seems quite probable. 1t VIII
add 81 ,OOO, 600 more to the expenditures. The
appropriation bills SO far reported about equal
the estimates, and in addition thele has been
call for so, OOO,O 900 in deficiencies. How much
must be added if adequate appropriations are
made for Notifications and the manufacture OF
modern guns must be- q matter OF conjecture.
To talk about surplus In view of these facts
is worse than idle. 1t would be much more to the
point If Mr.. Morrison reported bill to provide

MONEY md BUSINESS.

AS was predicted, the outgO of cash from the
banks ceased and return movement began last
week. Gold no longer went abroad the Treas
ury reported II, JOG, 900 less gold owned than
on the Sd and 1920, G00 less legal tenders.
Of this the Ncw-York banks gained, according
to their report of Saturday, $4,000 gold and
So 80, 800 legal tenders. This does not indI
cate any return of cash from the interior, and
there are other reasons for surprising that the
interior movement is not rs yet wholly favor
able to this city. Domestic exchanges on New
York are % discount at Chicago, 30 premium
at st. Louis. II to 20 premium at Boston,
81 50 premium at banks in New-Oreans,
sixteenth premium at Charleston, and an eighth
premium at Savannah. Money is easy at
per cent and the bank surplus rose S3, 56i AS,
and the defeat of the silver bill has justified the
expectations OF those who sold the sterling ex-
change originally bought for the purpose of
transferring their gold to Europe Foreign ex-
change does not at present forcshadOw "A re-
newal Of gold exports. The merchandise
movement continues decidedly unfavorable,
and some shipments are required at this season
on account of those who intend travelling in
Europe, but the course of the stock market In
dcatcs some buying on foreign account.
As to merchandise exports, there have been
some signs of improvement since wheat dropped
on Wednesday to 90l2 cents for April, and not
outstanding considerable purchases for export
the price closed bclOI7 81, and 1i2 cents lower
than week ago. The report Of the Agri-
cultural Bureau just out promises large crop,
so far as indications ut tins season can promise
any thing, and il is now plain enough that there
will remain large surplus besides Corn de-
cllned only an eighth, and oats rose half "a cent.
The cotton market was not aided by foreign
purchases, but was advanced by speculation
sixteenth. Exports for the week were
S7,4G3 bales, against 5S,17S last year, and
receipts were only 4l.392. against u, sos.
Thus far, however, the exports of mer-
chandise continue to fall behind those Of last
year, the decline amounting to 81 $50 .000 or
81 per cent. for the latest week reported. while
imports last week were $2,440,O 900 larger than
for the corresponding week last year, or 33 per
cent. With foreign trade In this state, there
can be no certainty that an outward movement
of gold will not be suddenly renewed and il
the absence of any definite and natural return
of money from the interior, the future of the
money market is not certain.

tion of the United States Senate; but they
will probably be surprised to learn through

was probably due to foreign purchases ana I'D
the effort of cliques, for it Is admitted on all
hands that the public had even less than usiai
TO do with II, Notwithstanding reports OF settle
ment between trunk lines and the agreement OF
coal companies. The refusal OF strikers 10
obey orders from headquarters of the Knights
of Labor. and n continuance of the struggle
with boodshcd at East st. Louis, account Tor
some apprehension. though The events OF the
past week have vsibly brought the strlNe
near its end. One uufavorablc feature is the
surprising decrease in shipments from Cincag"
eastward which were only 1927 tons last
week, the smallest in any week for three
years In the corresponding week
last year the shipments were S3,oS'
tons. but G.5 per cent was taken by the chicago
and Atlantic, not now reporting; the reha'u-
der was 10, i7S tons and the decrease now II
1872 per cent. The approach OF open naviga-
ton renders it more difficult for the railways
TO maintain rates which obviously Will transfer
large part of their business to the water
routes. On the other hand, the coal combiila-
ton gives more promise OF success, ii any SET
Element of Reading affairs can be attained, bu!
fine rcport OF the committee Of bondholders
does not encourage that expectation. Nor nave
transcontinental affairs been settled, because
of demands made by Pacific Mail The railway
managers who notified that company OF refusai
to pay n subsidy are now considering whether
they will buy peace by paying a larger one.
Nothing need be said about labor troubles rs

company to take large manufacturing contracts
is but a sample OF the depressing influence
which these disturbances exert. But in spite
of the fears Of capital, the iron furnaces
now i'll blast have a capacity OF loO,oVV

Steel rails arc firmly held by the combination,

where the responsibility rests Is not entirely
clear 1t is not known whether Dstrlct-At-
torncy MARITIME had sufficient evidence to war
rant an indictment against De Lacy. At any
rate. no indctn ent was found and De Lacy's
arrest was not ordered. Inspector Byrnes says
that he received no directions to watch the AL
derman. This seems to have been grave over
sight for DE- Lacy was one of the most pro-
nounccd SUSPECTS of the Board of 1851 and
he should have been kept under police sur
veilance and not allowed to get beyond the
reach of the New York authorities. Mr.. Mir
tine would certainly have been Justified III re-
sorting 10 this prccaution. He appears how
ever to have relied upon the statements OF
Richard S. NewcOmbe, De Lacy's COUNSEL that
he world produce his client whenever his pres
ence WAS required.
The fact is that De Lacy and Newcombe have
been PLAYING a game of blufl-with the public
at any rate, if not With the District Attorneys
office. When Waite furnished the testimony
on which Kirk and Pearson were arrested De
Lacy boldly visited the office of Mr.. Mar
tine and said he was ready to furnish
bail if a warrant was ready for him. He
talked in the Same way about the City Hall !;
declared that his bondSmen were secured
and that he had no fear. His buster and New
combes promises disarncd suspicion and De
Lacy went about in entire freedom, without
even A detective to shadow" his footsteps.
Now when he is wanted he il not 10 be found.
Flight is plainly proof of guilt.
De Lacy is an active County Democrat. Can it
be that any one in authority has quietly con-
nived at his escape Every official who is
called upon to deal with these cases of bribery
should understand that the public are IN no
mood to be tred with. They demand that the
prosecution shall be rapid and vigorous and
that every means be used to bring the guilty to
Justice. That Dempsey, Rothman, Moloncy
and Keenan, are beyond the reach of the law is
perhaps not the fault of the authorities. De
Lacys flight could easily have been prevented.
That it was not prevented is n severe reflection
upon The men chosen to administer our laws
