a BIG SURPLUS.

OnlCbBO HeIdlui Inc new form OF
treasury statement adopted by Secretary
Manning accomplishes so many results
by what may be called "bookkeepiug'
that 1t is rather laborious task 70 de-
termine from the figures presented from
month to month exactly how the federal
cash account stands. One thing, how
ever, may be made reasonably clear by q
little ciphering, and that is that the &C
tual surplus in the treasury on July |, the
beginning Of the new fiscal year, was
s2l5, 100000. According to the new form
of statement, AMI by reason of ''book-
keeping" which may be varied from time
to time as the necessity arises, producing
different results in each case but not in
any manner affecting the actual standing
Of affairs, the surplus is placed at about
$40 100000.
To reach this conclusion 1t is necessary
to set of in the statement vast sums OF
money arbitrarily designated as unavail-
able. Thus we have in the liability col
umn the full amount OF gold and silver
certificates outstanding, that is, in circu-
lation, whether In the treasury or out OF
it; sums Of gold and silver set apart to
redeem these certificates, and then, as an.
other unavailable item, Certificates held
as cash, So, 24l, 23O," The government
therefore holds in one hand the coin and
In the other the certificates, and by
'bockkeepingr neither is available.
Properly enough the 100000 900 IN gold
coin which is held as reserve for the
redemption of treasury notes is not
treated as available, but even this great
sum is not needed to make up the surplus
OF S2l6,000,000 under the old method OF
stating the condition OF the treasury.
Counting that, the surplus would be 1915
100000
a very satisfactory way Of arriving at
the real state of affairs is to examine the
amount Of the paper issues Of every de-
scription and the amount of money on
hand. The circulating medium which ,on
the books of the treasury, Is carried as a
liability, including legal tenders, certia-
Gates Of deposit, gold certificates, silver
certificates AID fractional currency,
amounts to s6S6,l0S,l7s. For all Of this
issue the treasury is responsible. Against
1t the treasury holds the gross sum OF
Si92,9lIl7l, almost dollar fer dollar. In
the statements as now prepared, in which,
by very arbitrary methods, 1t is sought to
make the available cash appear as small
as possible, this royal deposit is whitfield
down In the item Of "net cash in the
treasury" to the comparatively insipnla-
cant sum Of s75, 100000.
When the Democrats were pointing to
the gigantic surplus in the treasury in
1884 as reason why tho Republican par
~ should be turned out 1t amounted to
1885, 900, 600. 1t is now s2l5, OOO, 900, ex-
elusive Of the gold reserve. There may
be some profound reason why this fact
should be concealed by Bookkeeping, y
but people who are still suffering from
war taxation and who would like this ar
gument Of stupendous surplus to be as
prominent as possible win have some
difficulty in seeing 1t.

Real and Bogus Tan Rednction.


The sharp difference between the tsrif
bill offered by Mr.. Morrison and the tar,
if bill offered by Mr.. Randall is that Mr.
Morrison's bill proposed reductions OF
revenue that would cheaper the cost OF
living, while Mr. Randall's plan is to re.
duce revenue by increasing the duty on
articles OF necessity, so that importation
shall be stopped and the articles pro.
duced at greater cost in this country,
thus increasing the cost Of living. Mr..
Morrison's bill was very simple and easily
understood. 1t reduced the duty on cheap
cottons, sugar, woolens, and q few other
articles Of necessity in ever household,
and put salt, wool, lumber, hSh, lutte and
hemp on the free list. The bill was mod
crate to a fault. Mr.. Randsll's bill, on
the contrary, is complex, raising the
duties on tin plate, cotton-ties, and other
necessary articles on which there should
be no duty, and depending for revenue
reduction upon the repeal of the tobacco
tax and partial repeal of the spirits tax.
Mr.. Morrison's bill kept faith with the
pledge of the Democratic party for tax
reduction. Mr. Randall's bill iuggles
with the people by making the reduction
In internal revenue the pretext for in
oreasing the burden upon necessaries.
For those who care to inform them
selves of the real drift Of the Randall bill,
we print In another column an analysis
OF Its probable operation in cutting down
the rate of taxation. The bill is so
shameless in its character that we do not
believe Mr.. Randall could rally to its
support the thirty-four Democratic pro-
tectionists who voted with him 10 refuse
consideration to Mr.. Morrison's bill.

Information About Butterine.

NuAIdhv
There can be no reasonable question
that the material used is just as healthy
for food as any other part Of the animal,
the chief point at issue being whether
that or any other animal tissue is at TO
be eaten without q thorough cooking,
which is a matter that every one NAV
settle for himself II he knows what he is
dealing with. And the appeal TO the
farmers on the selfish ground Of protec-
ton to their own interests lacks force
from the fact that the substituted fat Is
equally with the genuine butter product
Of the grazing industry, while it may be
claimed with much truth that II such
material could not be utilized in this way
the total selling value Of the animal
would be considerably less than Ii is now.
or the price of meat to the consumer
must be correspondingly increased. This
because the old fashioned market for the
animal fats has been almost DESTROYED by
the use Of petroleum and the discovery
that cOtton-seed oil is q very efficient
substitute in the kitchen, the bakery and
the soap vat. The statement is not open
10 legitimate cavil u at the butterine
made IN the large establishments at the
stock-yards near this city is Just as good
and equally healthful for cooking pur-
poses as is the best dairy-made butter;
while it has been asserted by good author
ity that thorough cooking is not neces-
sary to render 1t innocuous by killing off
entozoa that might otherwise iniure the
body OF the person who eats the substi-
tute. But we want no fraud upon the
consumer in connection with the sale OF
fatty substitutes for butter.
