ExaaAsine Federal Faxation.

Elsewhere in this issue we give an Elk
tract from President Cieveland's ANNUAL
message, on the subject of taxation and
revenue reform. The President expresses
himself in no ambiguous terms, and there
can be but one meaning extracted from his
language. He calls attention to the fact
that increased revenue and economy in its
collection is resulting in large surplus over
necessary expenses, with no outstanding
debt that can be cancelled. This, he says,
will not only result in extravaganza, and
consequent national Generalization, but
the exaction from the people of more than
enough to meet the expenses of govern
ment, economically administered, is ruth
less extortion and violation Of the funda-
mental principles of free government.
The money demanded is exacted in an in
direct way, but it is paid by the people as
absolutely as though the tax-gatherer col
lected the hard cash outright.
The rate of federal taxation is about as
great now, with large part of the late
war debt extinguished and the balance re-
funded at very low rate of interest, as it
was twenty-five years ago, when a large
army had to be supported, the public debt
immense, and when the government PAID
high interest. The present condition Of
affairs, says the President, demand re
vision of the revenue laws so that the re
ceipts of the government shall be reduced
ito the necessary expenses of its economical
administration.
We call special attention to the extrac
because the matter of revenue reform il
the leading question of the day.

rhe Presidents Message.

In accordance with the constitutional
requirement, President Cleveland on Mon
day last sent his annual message to Con-
eress, giving in detail the operations of the
government for the past year and such sug-
pestions and recommendations as he thought
were necessary for the general good or for
the guidance of the national legislature.
The message is written in the Presidents
usual terse and vigorous style, and is es-
sentially business document. 1t has been
generally commended by the press of both
parties and the independent press. A
good synopsis is published in another
column, the document being too long to
give entire in the ADVOCATE.
